Yes — most Highland Park addresses have smart meters, so orders placed by 5 p.m. on a business day can start the same day. Pick your start date at checkout, up to 90 days ahead.

Compare effective rates at YOUR usage, not advertised rates — fees and bill credits bend each plan differently. Check the contract length and cancellation fee, then confirm delivery charges are included. The tables on this page do all three, and checkout takes about ten minutes.

How to find the best energy plan in Highland Park

#1 rule: Know your usage!

Determining the amount of electricity you will consume each month is the ideal way to find a deal on energy in Highland Park. Why does this matter?

You see energy companies advertising the “price per kWh” for an exact monthly usage (typically 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 use in the month.

Unless you match the advertised usage each month, you will end up paying a “price per kWh” different than what you observed when you ordered.

Fortunately, there’s a better way to select your electricity plan.

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

Better still, 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 discover the perfect energy plan for your home.

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

We put the power in your hands, taking what would amount to hours of research, spreadsheets, and computations across hundreds of plans and assisting you step-by-step with the electricity rate plan that’s best for your household’s consumption.

We clarify the details, disclosing the various charges, so you’ll know exactly where your money is going and what to anticipate on your bill.

We then assist you in ordering your plan with your chosen energy company without leaving our service.

The bottom line is you must understand your expected or historical usage before ordering the right energy plan for your home.

If you don’t know your usage, estimate

If you recently purchased a home or business, or you cannot obtain 12 months of usage history, you can always estimate the average amount of energy that you will use in any given 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 energy provider at a specific usage that isn’t what you’ll consume.

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

Moving to Highland Park: Setting up electricity

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

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 renewing your existing plan or possibly switching plans.

Switching electricity companies in Highland Park

Switching is good. Market conditions are constantly in flux, so it is essential to shop for a lower price every year when your contract expires.

Your existing electricity company will generally raise your energy rate once your contract expires. If you do not 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 electricity 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 electricity company will handle everything for you, including canceling service with your previous company.

There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Highland Park 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 energy providers. Therefore the reliability of your service is not affected.

You can choose any date within 14 days of your contract expiration date without an “early termination” penalty. That’s Texas Law.

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 knowing your usage is the best way to find the best rate.

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

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Highland Park was founded in 1913 by real estate developers John S. Armstrong and Edgar L. Flippen as one of America's first planned suburban communities. The developers hired landscape architect Wilbur David Cook to design winding streets that followed the natural topography, creating the distinctive curved roadways that still define the community today and earned it recognition as a National Historic District.

RECENT

In 2020, Highland Park completed a $50 million renovation of its town hall and public safety complex, featuring state-of-the-art emergency operations facilities and LEED Gold certification. The project also included underground parking and a new public plaza, representing the largest municipal investment in the town's history while maintaining the community's historic architectural character.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Highland Park has been home to numerous prominent figures including former President George W. Bush, who lived there during his oil business years, and billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks. The community has also been home to several NFL players and Fortune 500 CEOs, earning it a reputation as one of the most exclusive residential areas in Texas.

DID YOU KNOW

Highland Park is completely surrounded by the city of Dallas but maintains its independence as a separate municipality, creating what locals call 'the bubble.' The town has its own police force, fire department, and even its own utility services, operating almost like a city-state within Dallas. This unique arrangement has allowed Highland Park to maintain some of the highest property values in Texas while preserving its small-town governance structure.

CULTURAL

Highland Park is famous for its annual Christmas tradition where nearly every home participates in elaborate holiday decorations, creating what's known as the 'Highland Park Christmas Trail.' The community takes this so seriously that there's an unofficial competition among neighbors, with some homes featuring professional lighting displays that attract thousands of visitors each December. The tradition has been featured in national magazines and has become a Dallas-area holiday destination.
