How to Find the Best Energy Plan in Overton

#1 rule: Determine what your usage is!

Discovering how much electricity you will consume month-to-month is the best way to shop for electricity in Overton. Why is this so vital?

The rate electricity providers advertise for an exact monthly usage (typically 2000 kWh).

Every plan uses a different equation for how your monthly bill is computed, and your monthly bill will be determined by how much power you consume in the month.

Unless you use the advertised amount each month, you will pay a “price per kWh” different than what you saw when you signed up.

Thankfully, there’s a better way to shop for an energy provider.

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

Better yet, 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 ideal way to find the perfect energy plan for your home.

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

We put you in the driver’s seat, taking what would amount to hours of research, spreadsheets, and computations across hundreds of offers, and navigate you step-by-step to the best electricity rate plan for your home’s usage.

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

We then help you enroll with your selected power company without leaving our website.

The takeaway here is you should understand your expected or historical usage before picking the right 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 monthly energy usage.

While not as optimal as having all the previous 12 months of usage, estimating your average usage is better than blindly choosing 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 Overton: Setting up Electricity

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

Switching is good. Market conditions are constantly in flux, so shopping for a lower rate each year when your contract expires is essential.

Your existing electricity company will typically raise your electricity rate once your contract expires. If you do not 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 energy companies.

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

Switching is easy:

  • You don’t have to contact your current provider 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 terminating service with your previous company.

There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Overton 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 before your contract ends without an “early cancellation” 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 companies 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 of breaking 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 cheapest rate.

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

Overton Electricity Rates FAQs

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Overton was founded in 1872 as a railroad town when the International-Great Northern Railroad established a depot here. The town was named after Judge John H. Overton, a prominent Louisiana politician and early Texas land speculator who owned vast timber holdings in East Texas during the post-Civil War era.

RECENT

In 2020, Overton completed a major downtown revitalization project that restored several historic buildings along Main Street and created a new community plaza. The $2.3 million project included new sidewalks, period lighting, and landscaping that has attracted new businesses and increased tourism to the small East Texas community.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music legend Don Henley of the Eagles was born in nearby Gilmer but spent much of his childhood in Overton, where his father worked as a cotton farmer. Henley has often credited his East Texas roots and the rural landscapes around Overton as inspiration for songs like 'Peaceful Easy Feeling' and his solo work about small-town American life.

DID YOU KNOW

Overton sits atop one of the largest underground salt domes in North America, extending nearly 2 miles deep beneath the town. This geological formation was created over 200 million years ago and has been commercially mined since the 1930s, with Morton Salt operating a major facility that produces road salt shipped throughout the southern United States.

CULTURAL

Overton is known as the 'Antique Capital of East Texas' and hosts an annual Antique Street Festival each October that draws over 10,000 visitors. The town's Main Street is lined with more than 20 antique shops housed in restored early 1900s buildings, creating one of the most concentrated antique districts in rural Texas and earning recognition from Texas Monthly magazine.
