How to choose the best electricity plan in Texas

Selecting a Summer Energy plan without knowing your home’s energy usage can cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars.

The #1 most important thing: Know your usage!

The key to avoid overpaying is knowing your expected usage and comparing monthly costs for each plan based on that usage amount.

With things like gasoline, the “price per gallon” you see on the sign is the price you pay no matter how many gallons you pump.

$3 per gallon. Pump 10 gallons, pay $30. Simple.

Electricity in Texas is not as simple as buying gasoline. The advertised “price per kWh” is based on a specific, exact monthly usage (usually 2000 kWh).

And, each plan has a different calculation for how your monthly bill is determined.

Your effective “price per kWh” can only be determined by calculating your monthly bill, then dividing that monthly bill by your usage.

Advertised “price per kWh” can be misleading because it’s based on a specific usage like 2000 kWh. It’s best to shop based on the total bill for your home’s expected usage.

How do you do that when the math is complicated, and every plan is a little different?

ComparePower has already done all this complicated math for you.

First, we help you determine your expected monthly kWh usage. Then we show you the plans and their total monthly cost for your usage.

Summer Energy residential plans

Summer Energy offers fixed-cost and standard energy plans to its customers. The company’s fixed-cost products offer a steady monthly rate no matter the customer’s usage. Summer Energy sets a limit on monthly energy usage in exchange for the fixed rate. If a customer exceeds the monthly usage limit, Summer Energy charges a fee that is included in the next month’s bill.

Standard energy plans offered through Summer Energy are available in three, six, nine, and 12-month plans. The company also offers a month-to-month energy plan for short-term residents. The month-to-month plan features a higher per kilowatt hour rate and base charge in exchange for flexibility. As the contract length increases, a customer receives a lower rate and base charge.

Summer Energy also features separate emails for sales, customer service, and after-hours questions on its Contact page. Customers who want to reach out with less pressing issues can contact Summer Energy through their Facebook and Twitter accounts.

Summer Energy’s website includes an Easy Pay link that simplifies the payment process. Easy Pay allows a customer to enter their account number and zip code. The resulting page allows for credit card or debit card payment, bypassing delays due to mail or being stuck on hold.

Summer Energy also partners with Ace Cash Express to facilitate in-person payments.

Summer Energy notes that disconnection or reconnection payments should be made through the company rather than a third-party company.

Summer Energy reviews

Looking for ratings and reviews for Summer Energy?

Several companies rate electricity providers. ComparePower does not include customer reviews as they are generally biased or easy to manipulate and skew one way or the other (positive or negative).

Often, a review is requested a mere few days after enrolling in a new energy plan, which may not be an adequate amount of time for a customer to experience the product or service.

Many customers who take the time to leave feedback typically do so as an effort to resolve a problem and are using negative feedback as a forum to draw attention to their issue.

Customers who leave positive reviews are generally incentivized to do so and therefore tend to be biased.

So what are we left with? There are a few long-standing customer review portals that attempt to remove bias. One of these is the Better Business Bureau and the other is the Public Utility Commision of Texas.

Read customer reviews and ratings about Summer Energy on the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website.
Read customer complaints about Summer Energy on the Public Utility Commission of Texas website.

The Energy Professionals Association (TEPA) gave Summer Energy its Supplier of the Year award for 2017. TEPA named Summer Energy based on voting by energy brokers and consultants familiar with the company’s customer service reputation. The company was a finalist for the same award in 2016.

This site is AMAZING! Truly. They do the heavy lifting for you. They compare everything and show you all of the details. We used the calculator by entering our usage and received a great set of options. We selected one and then all we had to do was fill out a very short set of questions and we had a new account with a new provider in seconds. Best part is, I didn't even have to contact my old provider and cancel on them. It was all done through the new provider. This was too easy. I will say at first I was a little concerned about entering my social security number when I was setting up the account for a soft background check so that the new provider can determine if we need to do a deposit or not. This had me a little on edge but I did my research and everything was very secured. This soft background check doesn't impact your credit either. So rest assured, this is the best way to set up or switch providers. Bar none. Will be using this service again for sure and will tell all my friends about it too.

I've used the same electric provider for many years, and I simply needed to change it up. Prices were just getting too high! I utilized Compare Power to find a new rate, and it was ridiculously easy to find a great rate, and really quickly. Everything went smooth, and all I had to do was sign up and they took care of the rest. If you're in need of finding a new provider, I highly recommend Compare Power to do it!

Pretty sweet website. Made it easy to find and compare providers in my area. Even lets you calculate variable usage on bills so you really know what you're spending with your usage with the plans available. Also shows any of those potential awful hidden fees providers sneak in you don't normally get to find out about until you get your first bill. Definitely will recommend to friends & family.

I used compare power to figure out what was the best electricity plans based on my needs. The site made it super easy to view all the prices that are normally buried in the electric facts label (EFL); it saved so much time! Not only that but I got a really nice promotional rate through compare power that I otherwise wouldn’t have found if I searched the providers individually. I highly recommend if you’re looking to save money!

Came upon this website when it was time to decide on a renewal with my current power plan. They were very informative and listed plans with providers I didn't know were available. My comparisons also showed the percentage of green energy they generated which also helped me feel a bit better that I was choosing plan from a provider had all a portion of green energy production. Thank you guys.

Compare Power has provided a platform to seamlessly review plans, determine the pros and cons of the plan and then make a choice. I spent a total of maybe 15 minutes from start to finish and didn't get spammed by the different electric providers because I looked up a comparison.

This site is a must for anyone setting up an electricity service. It allows you to choose based on many different factors, including custom kWh amounts. I suggest playing around with the different providers and look at the spreads between what you think will be your home's average. Then look at the cost for 500, 1000, etc and find the lowest cost average for your specific situation.
