Company Overview

Budget Power’s team has been in the Texas electricity game since deregulation kicked off over 20 years ago. They’ve powered up more than 500,000 Texas homes and businesses in that time, racking up customer service awards along the way.

Size: They’re running lean and mean, competing against the big players by keeping things local and responsive.

Core Services:

  • Home Electricity: Straightforward plans without the fee circus.
  • Business Power: Custom solutions that work for your bottom line.

Service Areas and Availability

You’ll find Budget Power across Texas’s deregulated zones:

  • Oncor Electric Delivery (North, Central, and West Texas)
  • AEP Texas (Coverage across North and Central Texas)
  • CenterPoint Energy (Houston metropolitan area)
  • Texas-New Mexico Power (Select regions of North and West Texas)
  • Lubbock Power & Light

Customer Reviews

Let’s look at what people are saying about Budget Power on Google Reviews and social media:

Google Reviews Snapshot: Two customers who reviewed the company shared very different experiences. One 5-star review praised competitive rates and friendly customer service, while another customer reported long hold times, inconsistent information, and frustrating experiences with support staff.

From Reddit Discussions: Reddit threads paint a mixed picture too. Some folks appreciated their straightforward billing and credit-friendly options, while others mentioned challenges reaching support outside business hours.

Remember – individual experiences vary widely with any electricity provider. That’s exactly why we recommend comparing actual rates and plan details before signing up. Look at the total cost based on your usage patterns, not just advertised rates or individual reviews.

Comparing Budget Power Rates

Budget Power talks a big game about transparent pricing and flexible terms.

But here’s the deal – Texas electricity rates are as unpredictable as our weather. Many plans use fancy tricks like tiered pricing or bill credits to advertise rates that only work if you use a specific amount of power.

Why You Should Care:

  • Using more or less power than their “sweet spot”? Your bill might give you a heart attack.
  • Those sneaky base charges can turn a “great deal” into a budget buster
