Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Krum was founded in 1886 when the Santa Fe Railway established a depot at this location, naming it after W.B. Krum, a railroad official. The town grew rapidly as a shipping point for local farmers and ranchers, becoming incorporated in 1909 when the community had grown large enough to support its own post office and general store.

RECENT

In 2020, Krum completed construction of a new $15 million high school campus to accommodate rapid population growth in the area. The new facility features state-of-the-art technology labs and a competition-grade athletic complex, reflecting the community's commitment to education as suburban development continues to expand northward from the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music star Pat Green, known as the 'King of Texas Country Music,' spent part of his childhood in the Krum area and often references North Texas in his songs. Green has sold over 2 million albums and is credited with pioneering the Red Dirt country music movement that originated in Texas and Oklahoma.

DID YOU KNOW

Krum is home to one of the last remaining original Santa Fe Railway depots in North Texas, which now serves as the town's historical museum. The depot building, constructed in 1902, still contains the original telegraph equipment and ticket window, and local legend claims that famous outlaw Sam Bass once hid in the depot's storage room while evading lawmen in 1878.

CULTURAL

Every October, Krum hosts the annual 'Krumfest' celebration that features a unique tradition called the 'Bobcat Howl Contest,' where residents compete to produce the loudest and most authentic bobcat call. The festival celebrates the town's mascot and rural heritage, complete with a parade of decorated tractors and farm equipment that winds through the historic downtown area.

How to Find the Best Energy Plan in Krum

#1 rule: Know your usage!

Discovering how much energy you will consume month-to-month is the ideal way to shop for energy in Krum. Why should you care?

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

Every plan uses a different equation for how your monthly statement is calculated, and your monthly bill will change according to how much electricity you use in a month.

Unless you match the exact advertised usage each month, you will pay a "price per kWh" different than the one you saw advertised when you signed up.

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

Calculating your expected monthly bill based on estimated monthly usage, then comparing options by the total monthly bill is the best way to shop for the lowest rate for you.

Better yet, if you have 12 months of usage history for your household, you can compare plans by total annual cost. This annualized method considers the changes in usage between the summer and winter months and is the best way to find the perfect electricity plan for your home.

Compare Power does all the complicated math for you instantly. What could take you hours on a spreadsheet is solved briefly.

We put you in the driver's seat, taking what would amount to hours of investigation, spreadsheets, and computations across hundreds of offers, and navigate you step-by-step to the energy rate plan that's best for your home's consumption.

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

We then assist you in signing up with your selected energy company without leaving our service.

The takeaway here is you must determine your expected or historical usage before ordering the right energy plan for your home.

If you don't know your usage, estimate

If you recently purchased a home or business or cannot obtain 12 months of usage history, you can always estimate the average amount of energy you will use in any given month.

While not as optimal as having all the previous 12 months of usage, estimating your average usage is better than blindly choosing the first plan you see advertised by an energy company at a specific usage that isn't what you'll consume.

Use Compare Power to find the best electricity plan for your specific usage.

Moving to Krum: Setting up Electricity

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

Ask the previous homeowner to provide you with their past 12 months of usage.

This information is readily found in recent billing statements.

Acquiring usage for the past 12 months may take effort, 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 cannot obtain historical usage information, a second option would be to estimate your future usage using our "Help Me Choose" tool. By simply entering your zip code, the tool will be able to assess your home's projected electricity consumption.

By signing up for a plan through Compare Power, you will receive automated reminders when it's time to renew your existing plan or possibly switch plans.

Switching Electricity Companies in Krum

Switching is good. Market conditions are constantly changing, so shopping for a lower price every year is vital when your contract expires.

Your existing energy provider will raise your energy rate once your term expires. If you do not take action, you'll be left on a month-to-month rate significantly higher than the plan you signed up for.

Before renewing your contract, check the rates of competing electricity providers.

Switching can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars yearly on your energy 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 switch, your new electricity provider will take care of everything for you, including canceling service with your previous provider.

There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Krum 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 electricity providers. Therefore the reliability of your service is not affected.

You can choose any date within 14 days of your contract expiration without an "early cancellation" penalty. 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.

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.

If you're ready to switch and would like to know how to find the best plan remember that understanding your usage is the best way to find the lowest price.

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