HISTORICAL

New Summerfield was established in 1872 as a railroad town along the International and Great Northern Railroad line connecting Palestine to Longview. The town was named after Summerfield, Tennessee, by early settlers who had migrated from that area, and the 'New' was added to distinguish it from the original Tennessee community that many residents fondly remembered.

RECENT

In 2020, New Summerfield completed a major downtown revitalization project that restored several historic buildings from the early 1900s and created a new community center. The project was funded through a combination of state rural development grants and local fundraising efforts, bringing new life to the town's historic Main Street corridor.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music songwriter and producer Billy Sherrill, who wrote hits for Tammy Wynette including 'Stand By Your Man,' spent part of his childhood in New Summerfield in the 1940s. Sherrill later became one of Nashville's most influential producers, helping to create the 'Nashville Sound' that dominated country music in the 1960s and 1970s.

DID YOU KNOW

New Summerfield is home to one of the last remaining original International and Great Northern Railroad depots in East Texas, built in 1885 and still standing today. The depot served as a crucial stop for both passenger and freight trains for over 70 years, and local legend claims that notorious outlaw Sam Bass once hid in the depot's storage room while evading lawmen in 1878.

CULTURAL

Every October, New Summerfield hosts the annual 'Hornets Homecoming Festival,' named after the school mascot, which features a unique tradition called the 'Great Pumpkin Weigh-Off' where local farmers compete to grow the largest pumpkins. The festival has been running for over 40 years and regularly draws visitors from across Cherokee County, with the winning pumpkin often exceeding 200 pounds and being displayed at the town square until Thanksgiving.

How to Find the Best Energy Plan in New Summerfield

#1 rule: Usage is key!

Discovering the amount of electricity you will consume in a month is the ideal way to find a deal on power in New Summerfield. Why is this so vital?

The "price per kWh" you see electricity providers advertising is for an exact monthly usage (usually 2000 kWh).

Every plan uses a different calculation for how your monthly statement is calculated, and your monthly bill will be determined by how much energy you use in the month.

Unless you match the exact advertised usage each month, you will end up paying an effective "price per kWh" different than what you observed when you signed up.

Fortunately, there's a better way to pick your electricity plan.

Calculating your total monthly bill based on anticipated monthly usage, then comparing plans by total monthly cost is the best way to shop for the lowest rate for you.

Better still, if you have 12 months of usage history for your home, 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 rate plan for your home.

Compare Power does all this math for you instantly. What takes hours inside a spreadsheet is now solved in a few seconds.

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

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

We then help you order your plan with your chosen energy provider without leaving our service.

The takeaway here is you should know your expected or historical usage before ordering the right 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.

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 energy plan for your specific usage.

Moving to New Summerfield: Setting up Electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in New Summerfield, 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 can 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 switch plans.

Switching Electricity Companies in New Summerfield

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

Your existing electricity provider will normally raise your energy rate once your term expires. If you do not act, you'll be left on a month-to-month rate significantly higher 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 contact 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 decide to switch, your new energy company will take care of everything for you, including terminating service with your previous company.

There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in New Summerfield is all delivered by the Oncor Transmission and Distribution Utility.

The wires and poles that deliver electricity to your home do not change when you switch energy companies. Therefore the reliability of your service is not affected.

You can pick any date up to 14 days early from your current contract's end date without an "early termination" penalty. 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.

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 cheapest rate.

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.
