Best Electricity Plans for Your Home
Seasonality and the time of year you lock in your electricity rate matters in Texas. The one hard and fast rule is to avoid shopping for electricity in the late spring and early summer, because that's when the rates are highest. So right now, Texans shopping for electricity in the Houston, Dallas, and Corpus Christi areas should select a 12 month fixed-rate electricity plan. If it's May through August, get a short term plan and then select a longer term one next go-round. Generally, electricity prices are creeping up, and there's no better time to lock in your savings for the future than now.
