How to find the best energy plan in Havana

#1 rule: Determine what your usage is!

Discovering the amount of energy you will consume month-to-month is the ideal way to find a deal on energy in Havana. Why is this so vital?

The “price per kWh” you see electricity companies advertising is for an exact monthly usage (usually 2000 kWh).

Every plan uses a different calculation for how your monthly bill is determined, and your monthly bill will change according to how much electricity you consume in the month.

Unless you match the exact advertised usage each month, you will end up paying an effective “price per kWh” different than the one you saw advertised when you enrolled.

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

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

Better yet, if you have 12 months 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 perfect electricity plan for your home.

Compare Power does all the complicated math for you instantly. What takes hours inside a spreadsheet is now solved in just moments.

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

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

We then assist you in ordering your plan with your selected power provider without ever having to leave our website.

The takeaway here is you must understand your expected or historical usage before selecting the best 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.

Although knowing the previous 12 months of usage is optimum, it is far better to estimate the average energy consumption than to select the first electricity provider that you see advertised. After all, you have no idea how much energy you will use at that point.

Use Compare Power to shop for the best energy plan for your**specific usage.

Moving to Havana: Setting up electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Havana, 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 Havana

Switching is good. Market conditions are always changing, so it is important to shop for a lower price each year when your contract is about to expire.

Your existing electricity company will normally 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 higher 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 electricity bill.

Switching is easy:

When you make the 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 Havana 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 pick any date up to 14 days early from your current contract’s end date without an “early cancellation” penalty. That’s Texas Law.

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

And even if you’re well inside your contract, savings achieved on your monthly bill by switching companies may outweigh the fee to break your existing contract.

If you’re ready to switch and want to know how to find the best plan, remember that knowing your usage is the best way to find the lowest price.

You will want to gather your past usage for the past 12 months to determine the best plan with the lowest rate for your household.

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Havana was established in the early 1900s as a small farming community in the Rio Grande Valley, originally settled by Mexican-American families who cultivated cotton and citrus crops. The town was named after Havana, Cuba, reflecting the strong Hispanic cultural influence and the agricultural ties between the Rio Grande Valley and Caribbean farming traditions.

RECENT

In 2020, Havana completed a major infrastructure improvement project that brought high-speed fiber internet to all residents, making it one of the smallest Texas towns to achieve universal broadband access. This digital upgrade has attracted several remote workers and small tech businesses to relocate to the community, breathing new economic life into the historic farming town.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

While Havana itself hasn't produced major celebrities, it sits in the heart of Hidalgo County, which has been home to numerous Tejano music stars and is considered the birthplace of conjunto music. The town's annual Havana Heritage Festival regularly features Grammy-winning Tejano artists who got their start performing at local venues throughout the Rio Grande Valley.

DID YOU KNOW

Despite having a population of only about 350 people, Havana operates one of the most efficient municipal governments in Texas, with the entire city administration run by just three full-time employees who handle everything from water billing to code enforcement. The city hall doubles as the community center, post office, and emergency shelter during hurricanes, making it the true heart of this tight-knit community.

CULTURAL

Havana maintains a unique tradition called 'La Posada de Havana' every December, where the entire town participates in a nine-day celebration that combines Mexican Las Posadas customs with Texas frontier traditions. The celebration culminates with the whole community gathering for a massive tamale-making event in the town square, where over 2,000 tamales are prepared and shared with residents and visitors from neighboring towns.
