They primarily compete on price, but some companies distinguish themselves in other ways. Some offer great plans at low rates. Meanwhile, others offer tempting promotions and incentives. Of course, you want a competitive price, but what can a retail electricity provider offer you that convinces you it&#8217;s a great value?<\/p>\n<p>With so many companies, there&#8217;s a lot of things to consider. That&#8217;s why customers visit \u00a0<a href='https:\/\/www.texaselectricityratings.com\/'>Texas Electricity Ratings<\/a>\u00a0to find out how electricity companies operating in Texas treat their customers. Customers can assign star ratings to companies for these factors:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Billing and account management<\/li>\n<li>Customer service<\/li>\n<li>How likely you are to recommend<\/li>\n<li>Order experience<\/li>\n<li>Price, plans, and promotions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Customer star ratings go to compiling an overall star rating for each company. As of this month, the following companies are the <a href='https:\/\/www.texaselectricityratings.com\/companies'>best rated electricity providers<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Reliant Energy<\/li>\n<li>Gexa Energy<\/li>\n<li>TXU Energy<\/li>\n<li>Payless Power<\/li>\n<li>Constellation<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Looking beyond an electric plan price<\/h3>\n<p>Price is a big deal when selecting an electricity plan. However, it isn\u2019t the only factor you can use in making your decision. For instance, the customer feedback on Texas Electricity Ratings helps you understand all things about the companies who can <a href='https:\/\/www.texaselectricityratings.com\/electricity-rates\/texas\/houston#Houston%20energy%20direct%20to%20you'>power your Houston home<\/a>. Meanwhile, the ratings and reviews tell you precisely what other Texas electricity customers say about their experiences with these retail providers. Is a better customer experience worth paying a little higher electricity bill? On the other hand, what about incentives and rewards? With so much to consider, only you can decide what best fits your needs.<\/p>\n<h3>Houston electric providers comparison<\/h3>\n<p>Certainly, determining which plan is right for you depends on your usage. \u00a0Top rated <a href='https:\/\/www.texaselectricityratings.com\/electricity-rates\/texas\/houston'>Houston electricity providers<\/a>\u00a0offer several plans with differently priced usage rates. Consequently, by knowing your usage, you can save a lot of money with the right plan that&#8217;s priced for your usage.\u00a0In other words, if you know your normal usage, you can use that figure to compare plans and get a clearer understanding of how much you&#8217;ll likely to pay each month. But if you don&#8217;t know your usage, choosing the right plan is confusing. In that case, good rule of thumb for comparing rates is 1,000 kWh. While not precise, you get an idea of the medium usage rate costs. So, as an example of how that works, the table below shows the cheapest plans from the companies Texas Electricity Ratings users rate the best:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Retail Electric Provider<\/td>\n<td>Plan Name<\/td>\n<td>Average Price per kWh at 1,000 kWh<\/td>\n<td>Key Features<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Gexa Energy<\/td>\n<td>Gexa Saver Supreme 24<\/td>\n<td>8.0 cents<\/td>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li>Good for medium-sized homes<\/li>\n<li>$75 bill credit for usage between 1k and 2k usage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Constellation<\/td>\n<td>12 Month w\/ Bill Credit <\/td>\n<td>8.5 cents<\/td>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li>No minimum usage charge<\/li>\n<li>Bill credits at 1k and 2k usage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>TXU Energy<\/td>\n<td>TXU Energy Clear Deal 12 <\/td>\n<td>10.9 cents<\/td>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li>Low rate for first 1.2k usage<\/li>\n<li>$9.95 monthly base charge<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Payless Power<\/td>\n<td>SmarTricity Flex Saver<\/td>\n<td>12.6 cents<\/td>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li>Variable rate plan<\/li>\n<li>No early termination fee<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Reliant Energy<\/td>\n<td><a href='https:\/\/www.texaselectricityratings.com\/companies\/reliant-energy\/rates'>Reliant Secure Advantage 24<\/a><\/td>\n<td>12.9 cents<\/td>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li>Simple pricing structure<\/li>\n<li>$9.95 monthly base charge<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3>Rates for Texas electricity plans<\/h3>\n<p>Shopping for the best electricity rate for your usage can be frustrating. That&#8217;s because different homes have different monthly usage. While some homes have little usage, another may runs multiple air conditioning units and appliances. For that reason, Texas Electricity Ratings plan meters help you can find a cheap electricity plan to meet your needs. For example, slider bars on each plan show the average prices per kWh for that plan. You can also read the <a href='https:\/\/www.texaselectricityratings.com\/resources\/understanding-your-efl'>electricity facts label (EFL)<\/a> and terms of service to learn plan-specific in-depth information. In short, you have access to a wealth of information to help you make an informed electricity plan choice.<\/p>\n<h3>Find your next electric provider<\/h3>\n<p>In short, you have the power to choose your Houston electricity provider. But to save the most money, it pays you to find out as much information as you can about them.
