Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Lovelady was founded in 1872 and named after Cyrus Lovelady, who donated land for the International-Great Northern Railroad depot. The town grew rapidly as a timber and railroad hub, serving as a crucial shipping point for East Texas lumber during the late 1800s when the region's virgin pine forests were being harvested to build America's expanding cities.

RECENT

In 2020, Lovelady completed a major downtown revitalization project that restored several historic buildings along Main Street and added new sidewalks and period lighting. The project was funded through a combination of state grants and local fundraising efforts, bringing new life to the small town's commercial district after decades of economic decline.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music singer and songwriter Don Henley of the Eagles was born in nearby Gilmer but spent significant time in Lovelady during his youth, often visiting family in the area. Local residents still remember his early performances at community events, and the town takes pride in its connection to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee who co-wrote classics like 'Hotel California.'

DID YOU KNOW

Lovelady is home to one of the last remaining original International-Great Northern Railroad depots in East Texas, built in 1902 and still standing today. The depot once served as a major stop between Houston and Dallas, and during World War II, it processed thousands of tons of timber that were shipped to shipyards along the Gulf Coast for the war effort.

CULTURAL

Every October, Lovelady hosts the annual Lovefest, a community celebration that has been running for over 30 years and features live music, local crafts, and a famous chili cook-off. The festival draws visitors from across East Texas and serves as the town's biggest fundraiser, with proceeds supporting local schools and community projects while celebrating the tight-knit community spirit that defines small-town Texas life.

How to Find the Best Energy Plan in Lovelady

#1 rule: Know your usage!

Discovering how much energy you will consume month-to-month is the ideal way to find a deal on power in Lovelady. Why does this matter?

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

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

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

Fortunately, there's a better way to shop for an electricity company.

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

Better yet, if you have a year of usage history for your home, you can compare plans by total annual cost. This annualized method considers the changes in usage between summer and winter months and is the absolute best way to determine the ideal electricity 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 a few seconds.

We put you in the driver's seat, taking what would amount to hours of research, spreadsheets, and calculations across hundreds of plans and navigating you step-by-step to the electricity rate plan that's best for your household's usage.

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

We then help you sign up with your chosen electricity company without leaving our service.

The bottom line is you should understand your expected or historical usage before choosing the best energy plan for your home.

If you don't know your usage, estimate

Suppose you recently purchased a home or business or cannot obtain 12 months of usage history. In that case, you can always estimate your average energy 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 electricity company at a specific usage that isn't what you'll consume.

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

Moving to Lovelady: Setting up Electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Lovelady, 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: You can estimate your monthly usage if you can't obtain a usage history. Utilize our "Help Me Choose" tool when you enter your zip code below, and we'll help you evaluate your home's usage.

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 Lovelady

Switching is good. Market conditions are always changing, so it is essential to shop for a lower rate every year when your contract is about to expire.

Your existing electricity company will normally raise your electricity rate once your term expires. If you fail to take action, you'll be left on a month-to-month rate that is significantly more than the plan you signed up for.

Before renewing your contract, shop the rates of competing energy providers.

Switching can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars yearly on your electricity 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 electricity supply
  • It takes just minutes

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

Your lights stay on when you switch. Electricity in Lovelady 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 within 14 days of your contract expiration without an "early cancellation" penalty. Texas law protects you here.

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

And even if you're well inside your contract, savings achieved on your monthly bill by switching companies may outweigh the fee to break your existing contract.

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.

Keep in mind that when you get ready to switch and you want to know the most efficient way to find the right plan at the best rate, it is essential that you first understand your usage. To accomplish that, you must collect the usage history for the past 12 months.
