Electricity Plans for Properties with Multiple Meters

What Do I Do if I Have Multiple Meters?

Managing a Texas property with multiple meters, like a house and a garage categorized as commercial by the utility company? No worries, setting up the right electricity plans is simpler than you might think. Here’s a clear-cut way to handle it:

  • Check Out Your Setup: Start by figuring out what you’ve got - how many meters and what each one is for. It’s all about understanding your layout, whether it’s your main house or a garage the utility company labels as commercial.
  • Choose Individual Plans: It’s a good move to select a different plan for each meter. This lets you match the electricity plan closely with the meter’s classification, making management and billing much simpler.
  • Mixing Providers Is Fine: If you find that different providers offer better deals for your setup, go for it. Since each plan comes with a distinct account number, billing remains clear and separate, regardless of the provider.
  • Commercial vs. Residential Plans: The key here is the utility company’s classification of your space. If a space like a garage is considered commercial, then it’s a commercial plan you’ll need. We’re here to help you sort out the right type of plan for each meter, based on its classification.
  • Understand Your Contracts Inside Out: We’ll guide you through the contract details - pricing, terms, and the like - so you can choose a plan with confidence, fully informed about what you’re signing up for.
