Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Bedford was founded in 1953 as one of the first master-planned communities in Texas, designed by developer Bedford Wynne who envisioned a suburban paradise between Dallas and Fort Worth. The city was incorporated with strict zoning laws that prohibited heavy industry and required all utility lines to be buried underground, creating the clean, residential atmosphere that defines Bedford today.

RECENT

In 2020, Bedford completed construction of the $15 million Bedford Splash aquatic center, featuring a lazy river, water slides, and competition pool that has become a regional destination. The facility was designed to be energy-efficient and has already hosted several regional swimming competitions, drawing visitors from across North Texas.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music star Kacey Musgraves attended high school in the HEB school district that serves Bedford, where she first performed publicly at local venues. She went on to win six Grammy Awards including Album of the Year for 'Golden Hour' in 2019, and has often credited her North Texas upbringing for keeping her grounded despite her international success.

DID YOU KNOW

Bedford is home to the world's largest collection of vintage pinball machines at the National Videogame Museum, which relocated here in 2016. The museum houses over 100,000 items including the original Pong console and rare arcade games worth millions of dollars, making it a pilgrimage site for gaming enthusiasts from around the globe.

CULTURAL

Bedford has maintained its original 1950s vision by being one of the few Texas cities where all utility lines remain underground, creating tree-lined streets without telephone poles. The city also hosts the annual 'Taste of Bedford' festival that showcases the community's diversity, featuring cuisine from over 20 different cultures represented in this small but internationally diverse suburb.

How to find the best energy plan in Bedford

#1 rule: Know your usage!

As you search for a new electricity provider, it's important that you know your monthly usage rate. Why? Because providers use a standardized rate for all of their quotes.

You might fall into the group of consumers who actually use this rate per month. More than likely, you use more or less than the quoted rate.

This means that the quoted price is unlikely to represent what will appear on your actual bill.

Compare Power levels the playing field by customizing quotes based on your actual usage. The rates presented by Compare Power are updated based on provider information and show you how much you can expect to spend each month.

If you can't find previous bills or meter readings, take your best guess at monthly usage. This isn't a perfect solution, but you'll avoid picking a provider who charges you more than you'd like to spend.

Moving to Bedford: Setting up electricity

Important: If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Bedford, you'll need to get the previous 12 months of energy usage for your new home to get the best rate.

An easy way to find the previous usage in a new property is to ask the landlord or previous owner. This information might require some research but will help you save in the long run.

Compare Power will do the math instantly to help you find the right plan for your home's usage needs.

Note: If you can't obtain usage history, you can estimate your monthly usage instead. Utilize the "Help Me Choose" tool when you enter your zip code below and Compare Power will help you evaluate your home's usage.

Switching electricity companies in Bedford

Each year presents an opportunity to shop around for cheap electricity rates. The end of your electricity contract also means a chance for your provider to raise your rate. Shopping around for a new provider is a good idea if you want to save money each year.

    When you make the switch, your new electricity company will handle everything for you including ending service with your previous provider.

    There is no loss of power when you switch because electricity in Bedford is delivered by the Oncor Transmission and Distribution Utility.

    The wires and poles that deliver electricity to your home do not change when you switch electricity providers.
