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.

It changes with your usage. The lowest effective rate we price in Luling 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 Luling

#1 rule: Know your usage!

Determining the amount of energy you will use each month is the ideal way to find a deal on electricity in Luling. Why is this so vital?

The rate you see power companies advertising is for an exact monthly usage (typically 2000 kWh).

Every plan has a different calculation for how your monthly bill is determined, and your monthly bill will change according to how much power you use each 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 signed up.

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

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

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 find the perfect energy plan for your home.

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

We put the power in your hands, taking what would amount to hours of investigation, spreadsheets, and calculations across hundreds of plans and navigating you step-by-step to the energy rate plan that’s best for your household’s usage.

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

We then help you order your plan with your selected electricity company without ever leaving our service.

The bottom line is you must determine your expected or historical usage before picking 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 own 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 Luling: Setting up Electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Luling, 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: You can estimate your monthly usage if you can’t obtain a usage history. Utilize our “Help Me Choose” tool when you enter your zip code below, and we’ll help you evaluate your home’s usage.

Sign-up for a plan instantly through Compare Power. We will remind you when it’s time to come back to switch and save at the end of the plan term you decide on.

Switching Electricity Companies in Luling

Switching is good. Market conditions are always in flux, so it is important to shop for a lower rate every year when your contract is close to expiring.

Your existing electricity provider will typically raise your energy rate once your term expires. If you do not act, 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 electricity bill.

Switching is easy:

  • You don’t have to call your current provider to cancel (no “break-up call”)
  • No one comes to your home
  • There is no disruption in your power supply
  • It takes just minutes

When you switch, your new energy provider will handle everything, including terminating service with your previous provider.

There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Luling is all delivered by the Oncor Transmission and Distribution Utility.

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

You can pick any date within 14 days of your contract expiration 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 would like to know how to find the best plan remember that understanding your usage is the best way to find the best price.

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

Luling Electricity Rates FAQs

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Luling was founded in 1874 as a railroad town when the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio Railway extended its line through the area. The town was named after Charles Luling, a New York financier who helped fund the railroad construction, and it quickly became a major cattle shipping point connecting South Texas ranches to northern markets.

RECENT

In 2019, Luling completed a major downtown revitalization project that restored several historic buildings along Davis Street and created new public spaces. The $2.3 million project included new sidewalks, period lighting, and landscaping that has attracted new businesses and increased tourism to the historic downtown district.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Luling was the childhood home of country music legend George Strait, who lived here during his early years before his family moved to nearby Pearsall. The future 'King of Country Music' spent formative years in Luling, and the town proudly claims him as one of their most famous former residents, though he's more commonly associated with his later hometown.

DID YOU KNOW

Luling is home to the world's largest working oil pump jack, standing 30 feet tall and weighing over 20,000 pounds, which was installed in 1977 as a tribute to the town's oil heritage. The giant pump jack, located in downtown Luling City Park, actually pumps oil from beneath the park and has become one of the most photographed roadside attractions in Central Texas.

CULTURAL

Every June, Luling hosts the famous Luling Watermelon Thump, a festival that began in 1954 and features the unique sport of watermelon seed spitting, with the current world record holder achieving a distance of over 68 feet. The festival also includes watermelon eating contests, live music, and the crowning of the Watermelon Thump Queen, making it one of Texas's most beloved small-town celebrations that draws thousands of visitors annually.
