It changes with your usage. The lowest effective rate we price in Hargill today is 7.0¢ per kWh at 1,000 kWh — but a plan that wins at 1,000 kWh can lose at 2,000. Enter your ZIP and usage to see which company is cheapest for your home.

How to find the best energy plan in Hargill

#1 rule: Usage is king!

Discovering how much energy you will use monthly is the ideal way to find a deal on energy in Hargill. Why should you care?

The rate you see electricity companies advertising is for an exact monthly usage (usually 1000 kWh).

Every plan uses a different equation for how your monthly statement is computed, and your monthly bill will change according to how much energy you consume in a month.

Unless you use exactly the advertised amount each month, you will end up paying an effective “price per kWh” different than what you observed when you signed up.

Thankfully, there’s a better way to choose your energy rate.

Calculating your total monthly bill based on anticipated monthly usage, then comparing rates by the total monthly bill is the best way to shop for the best rate for your household.

Better still, if you have a year of usage history for your household, you can compare plans by total annual cost. This annualized method considers the changes in usage between the summer and winter months and is the best way to determine the right energy rate plan for your home.

Compare Power does all this math for you in an instant. What could take you hours on a spreadsheet is now solved in seconds.

We put you in the driver’s seat, taking what would amount to hours of research, spreadsheets, and calculations across hundreds of plans and guide you step-by-step to the energy plan that’s best for your home’s usage.

We clarify the details, disclosing all charges, so you’ll know precisely where your money is going and what to expect on your monthly bill.

We then assist you in enrolling with your chosen electricity provider without ever having to leave our website.

The takeaway here is you must know your expected or historical usage before picking the right electricity plan for your home.

If you don’t know your usage, estimate

If you cannot acquire 12 months of historical usage, or you’re the owner of a brand new home, the next best thing is to estimate how much energy you will use in an average month.

While not as optimal as having all the previous 12 months of usage, estimating your average usage is better than blindly picking the first plan you see advertised by an electricity company at a specific usage that isn’t what you’ll consume.

Use Compare Power to find the best electricity plan for your**specific usage.

Moving to Hargill: Setting up electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Hargill, to get the best rate, you need to get the previous 12 months of energy usage for your new home.

Ask the previous homeowner to provide you with their past 12 months of usage.

This information is readily found in recent billing statements.

Acquiring usage for the past 12 months may take effort, but the time (and savings) will be well worth it.

Once you have historical usage, Compare Power will do the math instantly to help you find the best plan for your home’s usage pattern.

Note: If you can’t obtain a usage history, you can estimate your monthly usage instead. Utilize our “Help Me Choose” tool when you enter your zip code below, and we’ll help you evaluate your home’s usage.

By signing up for a plan through Compare Power, you will receive automated reminders when it’s time to renew your existing plan or possibly switch plans.

Switching electricity companies in Hargill

Switching is good. Market conditions are always changing, so it is essential to shop for a lower rate each year when your contract is close to expiring.

Your existing electricity provider will typically raise your electricity rate once your term expires. If you fail to take action, you’ll be left on a month-to-month rate significantly more than the plan you signed up for.

Before renewing your contract, shop the rates of competing energy companies.

Switching can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars yearly on your energy bill.

Switching is easy:

When you decide to switch, your new energy company will take care of everything for you, including canceling service with your previous company.

Your lights stay on when you switch. Electricity in Hargill is all delivered by the Oncor Transmission and Distribution Utility.

The wires and poles that deliver power to your home do not change when you switch electricity providers. Therefore the reliability of your service is not affected.

You can choose any date up to 14 days before your current contract’s end date without an “early termination” penalty. Texas law protects you here.

If you’re still under contract, check how many months remain on your contract. You can set a future start date with most providers up to 6o days in advance.

The amount saved each month by switching to a different electricity company may outweigh the one-time fee to get out of your contract early.

If you’re ready to switch and want to know how to find the best plan, remember that understanding your usage is the best way to find the cheapest rate.

You will want to find your historical usage for the past 12 months to determine your household’s best plan with the lowest rate.

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Hargill was founded in 1927 as a railroad town along the Missouri Pacific Railroad line in the Rio Grande Valley. The town was named after H.A. Hargill, a railroad official who helped establish the community as a shipping point for the region's growing citrus and vegetable farming industry during the agricultural boom of the 1920s.

RECENT

In 2020, Hargill completed a major infrastructure improvement project that upgraded the city's water treatment facility and installed new water lines throughout the community. This $2.8 million project, funded through state and federal grants, ensures reliable water service for residents and supports future growth in this small but resilient Rio Grande Valley community.

OTHER

FAMOUS PEOPLE/EVENTS: Hargill gained national attention in 2018 when local high school student Maria Gonzalez won the National Geographic Bee state championship, representing Texas at the national competition in Washington, D.C. Her achievement put this tiny town of fewer than 900 residents on the map and inspired other students throughout the Rio Grande Valley to pursue academic excellence.

DID YOU KNOW

Despite having fewer than 900 residents, Hargill operates one of the most efficient municipal governments in Texas, with a city budget of less than $200,000 annually. The entire city administration consists of just three full-time employees who manage everything from water utilities to code enforcement, making it a textbook example of small-town government efficiency.

OTHER

CULTURAL/UNIQUE: Hargill celebrates its agricultural heritage every October with the annual Harvest Festival, where residents showcase traditional Mexican and Tejano cooking methods passed down through generations. The festival features demonstrations of making tamales in massive outdoor pots and the preparation of cabrito, drawing visitors from across Hidalgo County to experience authentic Rio Grande Valley culture in this tight-knit farming community.
