Houston residents use about 40% more electricity than the U.S. average, thanks to the long summers. A bad fixed-rate plan in Houston costs more than almost anywhere else in Texas.
Questions Houston residents ask us.
Yes. Most retail electricity service in Houston is deregulated. You pick the retail provider and Voltcheckr helps you find the cheapest plan for your actual usage.
Houston homes average around 1,420 kWh per month at an effective rate near 14.2¢/kWh, which works out to about $202/month. Voltcheckr calculates your exact bill against 200+ plans so you know where you actually stand.
Pick a plan on Voltcheckr, click Switch, and your new provider handles the cancellation of your old plan automatically. No calls, no paperwork, no double billing. Your new rate typically starts within 1–3 business days.
If you're inside a fixed-term contract, early termination fees (ETF) typically run $150–$295. Voltcheckr surfaces the ETF on your current plan and subtracts it from your first-year savings so you see the real break-even. If you're in the last 14 days of your contract, you can switch ETF-free.
Rates change daily. Upload your bill (or enter your ZIP + home size) and Voltcheckr shows you the real-time cheapest plan, refreshed nightly from Power to Choose.
