Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Appleby was founded in the 1880s as a railroad town along the Houston, East and West Texas Railway line that connected Houston to Shreveport. The town was named after early settler John Appleby, who donated land for the railroad depot and helped establish the community as a timber shipping point during East Texas's lumber boom era.

RECENT

In 2020, Appleby completed a major infrastructure upgrade that brought high-speed fiber internet to all residents through a partnership with a regional telecommunications company. This digital connectivity project has attracted several remote workers and small tech businesses to relocate to the area, breathing new life into the historic downtown district.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music songwriter and producer Jim Ed Norman, who worked with artists like Hank Williams Jr. and The Eagles, spent part of his childhood in Appleby visiting his grandparents' farm. Norman later credited the peaceful East Texas countryside around Appleby as inspiration for several hit songs he produced in Nashville during the 1980s and 1990s.

DID YOU KNOW

Appleby is home to one of the last remaining hand-operated railroad crossing gates in Texas, installed in 1923 and still manually operated by the local stationmaster twice daily when freight trains pass through town. The antique crossing system has been featured in several period films and is considered a living piece of railroad history by transportation enthusiasts.

CULTURAL

Every October, Appleby hosts the annual 'Timber Days Festival' that celebrates the town's logging heritage with chainsaw carving competitions, log rolling contests, and traditional lumberjack skills demonstrations. The festival draws visitors from across East Texas and features authentic chuck wagon cooking and bluegrass music performed on a stage built from reclaimed timber from the area's historic sawmills.

How to find the best energy plan in Appleby

#1 rule: Determine what your usage is!

Knowing how much energy you will consume each month is the ideal way to find a deal on energy in Appleby. Why is this so vital?

The rate you see electricity providers advertising is for an exact monthly usage (usually 1000 kWh).

Every plan has a different calculation for how your monthly statement is computed, and your monthly bill will vary depending on how much power you consume in a month.

Unless you use exactly the advertised amount each month, you will end up paying an effective "price per kWh" different than the one you saw advertised when you signed up.

Thankfully, there's a better way to select your energy plan.

Calculating your total monthly bill based on anticipate monthly usage, then comparing rates by total monthly cost, is the best way to shop for the lowest rate for your home.

Even better, if you have 12 months 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 absolute best way to determine the perfect energy plan for your home.

Compare Power does all the complicated math for you in an instant. What takes hours on a spreadsheet is now done in just seconds.

We put the power in your hands, taking what would amount to hours of research, spreadsheets, and computations across hundreds of offers and guide you step-by-step to the electricity rate plan that's best for your home's usage.

We clarify the details, disclosing all fees and charges, so you'll know exactly where your money is going and what to anticipate on your bill.

We then assist you in ordering your plan with your selected energy company without ever having to leave our service.

The bottom line is you must know your expected or historical usage before ordering the best electricity plan for your home.

If you don't know your usage, estimate

If you recently purchased a home or business, or you cannot obtain 12-months of usage history, you can always estimate the average amount of energy that you will use in any given 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 Compare Power to find the best electricity plan for yourspecific usage.

Moving to Appleby: Setting up electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Appleby, 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, Compare Power will do the math instantly to help you find the best plan for your home's usage pattern.

Note: If you are unable to obtain historical usage information, a second option would be to estimate your future usage via utilizing our "Help Me Choose" tool. By simply entering your zip code the tool will be able to assess your home's projected electricity consumption.

Sign-up for a plan in minutes through Compare Power. We will remind you when its time to return to switch and save at the end of the plan length you decide on.

Switching electricity companies in Appleby

Switching is good. Market conditions are always in flux, so it is important to shop for a lower rate each year when your contract is about to expire.

Your existing electricity company will normally raise your energy rate once your contract expires. If you do not take action, you'll be left on a month-to-month rate that is significantly more than the plan you signed up.

Before renewing your contract make sure to shop the rates of competing electricity providers.

Switching can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars each year on your electricity bill.

Switching is easy:

    When you decide to switch, your new energy company will handle everything for you including terminating service with your previous provider.

    There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Appleby 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 companies. Therefore the reliability of your service is not affected.

    You can choose any date up to 14 days early of your current contract's end date without an "early cancellation" fee. Texas law protects you here.

    If you're still under contract, check how many months remain on your contract. You can set a future start date with most providers up to 6o days in advance.

    The amount saved each month by switching to a different electricity company may outweigh the one-time fee to get out of your contract early.

    For help with this, you can send us your latest energy bill via email, and one of our professional team members will contact you shortly to discuss 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 lowest rate.

    You will want to gather your historical usage for the past 12 months to determine the best plan with the lowest rate for your household.
