Yes — most Montgomery 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.

Yes. Texas law gives you a 14-day window before your contract end date to switch with NO early-termination fee. Find your end date on your bill, then shop it today — the expensive move is drifting onto a holdover rate.

It changes with your usage. The lowest effective rate we price in Montgomery today is 5.9¢ 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 Montgomery

#1 rule: Usage is king!

Determining how much energy you will use monthly is the best way to find a deal on electricity in Montgomery. Why is this important?

The rate you see energy providers 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 be determined by how much electricity you consume each month.

Unless you match the exact advertised usage each month, you will pay a “price per kWh” different than the one you saw advertised when you ordered.

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

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

Better still, if you have 12 months of usage history for your home, 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 ideal way to find the ideal energy plan for your home.

Compare Power does all this math for you instantly. 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 offers and assisting you step-by-step with the electricity 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 monthly bill.

We then assist you in enrolling with your chosen power provider without leaving our service.

The takeaway here is you should understand your expected or historical usage before selecting the best energy plan for your home.

If you don’t know your usage, estimate

Suppose you recently purchased a home or business or cannot obtain 12 months of usage history. In that case, you can always estimate your average energy in any given 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 electricity plan for your specific usage.

Moving to Montgomery: Setting up Electricity

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

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 Montgomery

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

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

Before renewing your contract, check the rates of competing electricity companies.

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

Switching is easy:

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

When you switch, your new electricity provider will handle everything, including canceling service with your previous provider.

Your lights stay on when you switch. Electricity in Montgomery 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 energy providers. Therefore the reliability of your service is not affected.

You can choose any date up to 14 days before your contract ends without an “early cancellation” 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.

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

If you’re ready to switch and would like 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 find your historical usage for the past 12 months to determine the best plan with the lowest rate for your household.

Montgomery Electricity Rates FAQs

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Montgomery was founded in 1837 and served as the first county seat of Montgomery County, making it one of the oldest towns in Texas. The town was established by traders and settlers along the San Jacinto River and played a crucial role in early Texas commerce, with steamboats regularly traveling upriver from Houston to deliver goods and passengers to this frontier trading post.

RECENT

In 2019, Montgomery completed a major downtown revitalization project that restored several historic buildings along Liberty Street and created the Montgomery Historic District. The project included new sidewalks, period lighting, and landscaping that has attracted boutique shops, antique stores, and restaurants, transforming the sleepy town into a popular weekend destination for visitors from Houston and The Woodlands.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Montgomery is the birthplace of the Lone Star Flag of Texas, designed by Dr. Charles Bellinger Stewart in 1839 while he was living in the town. Stewart, who served as a surgeon in the Texas Revolution, created the iconic single star design that became the official state flag, and his original home still stands in Montgomery's historic district as a testament to this important piece of Texas history.

DID YOU KNOW

Montgomery is home to the oldest Masonic Lodge in Texas, established in 1837, which still meets in its original building on Liberty Street. The lodge has operated continuously for over 185 years and counts Sam Houston among its most famous members, who was initiated there in 1837. The building also served as Montgomery's first courthouse and hosted early county government meetings.

CULTURAL

Every December, Montgomery transforms into a Victorian Christmas wonderland with its annual Christmas Tour of Homes, featuring historic houses decorated in period style with horse-drawn carriage rides through the historic district. The town maintains its 19th-century charm year-round with strict historic preservation ordinances that require new construction to match the architectural style of the 1800s, making it feel like stepping back in time to frontier Texas.
