As many as 65+ providers compete for your account in Fairfield and there are hundreds of plans to sort through.

How to find the best energy plan in Fairfield
#1 rule: Know Your Usage!
Knowing the amount of energy you will consume in a month is the ideal way to find a deal on energy in Fairfield. Why should you care?
The “price per kWh” you see energy companies advertising is for an exact monthly usage (typically 1000 kWh).
Every plan uses a different calculation for how your monthly statement is computed, and your monthly bill will change according to how much power you use in the month.
Unless you use exactly the advertised amount each month, you will end up paying an effective “price per kWh” different than what you saw when you signed up.
Fortunately, there’s a better way to pick your electricity company.
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 still, if you have an entire year of usage history for your household, you can compare plans by total annual cost. This annualized method takes into account the changes in usage between summer and winter months and is the ideal way to determine the ideal electricity plan for your home.
ComparePower does all this math for you instantly. What takes hours on a spreadsheet is now done in just 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 electricity plan that’s best for your home’s consumption.
We clarify the fine print, disclosing all fees and charges, so you’ll know exactly where your money is going and what to expect on your bill.
We then help you in enrolling with your selected energy company without ever having to leave our service.
The take away here is you must understand your expected or historical usage before selecting the best energy plan for your home.
If you don’t know your usage, estimate
If you are unable to acquire 12-months of historical usage, or you’re the owner of a brand new home, the next best thing is to estimate how much energy you will use in an average month.
Although knowing the previous 12-months of usage is optimum, it is far better to estimate the average energy consumption than to select the first electricity provider that you see advertised. After all, you have no idea how much energy you will use at that point.
Use ComparePower to shop for the best energy plan for your specific usage.
Moving to Fairfield: Setting up Electricity
If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Fairfield, to get the best rate you need to get the previous 12-months of energy usage for your new home.
Ask the previous home-owner to provide you with their past 12-months of usage.
This information is readily found in recent billing statements.
It may take some effort to acquire usage for the past 12-months, but the time (and savings) will be well worth it.
Once you have historical usage, ComparePower will do the math instantly to help you find the best plan for your home’s usage pattern.
Note: If you can’t obtain usage history, you can estimate your monthly usage instead. Utilize our “Help Me Choose” tool when you enter your zip code below and we’ll help you evaluate your home’s usage.
Sign-up for a plan in minutes through ComparePower. We will remind you when its time to come back to switch and save at the end of the plan term you decide on.
Switching electricity companies in Fairfield
Switching is good. Market conditions are always changing, so it is essential to shop for a lower rate each year when your contract is close to expiring.
Your existing electricity provider will typically raise your energy rate once your contract expires. If you fail to take action, you’ll be left on a month-to-month rate that is significantly higher than the plan you signed up.
Before renewing your contract make sure to check the rates of competing electricity providers.
Switching can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars each year on your electricity bill.
Switching is easy:
- You don’t have to call your current provider to cancel (no “break-up call”)
- No one comes to your home
- There is no disruption in your power supply
- It takes just minutes
When you make the switch, your new electricity provider will handle everything for you including terminating service with your previous provider.
There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Fairfield 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 energy providers. Therefore the reliability of your service is not affected.
You can pick any date up to 14 days early of your current contract’s end date without an “early termination” fee. That’s Texas Law.
If you’re still under contract, find out how many months remain on your contract. You can set a future start date with most providers up to 6o days in advance.
And even if you’re well inside your contract, savings achieved on your monthly bill by switching providers may outweigh the fee to break your existing contract.
If you are unsure email us your latest energy bill and one of our team members will respond to you promptly with your best options.
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 truly best price.
You will want to gather your past usage for the past 12 months to determine the best plan with the lowest rate for your household.
