Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Oakwood was founded in 1872 as a railroad town along the International and Great Northern Railroad line connecting Palestine to Austin. The town was named for the abundant oak trees that covered the rolling hills of Leon County, and it quickly became a vital shipping point for cotton, cattle, and timber from the surrounding agricultural region.

RECENT

In 2020, Oakwood completed a major downtown revitalization project that restored several historic buildings along Main Street and created a new community park. 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 Lefty Frizzell was born in Corsicana but spent much of his childhood in nearby Oakwood during the 1930s. Frizzell went on to become one of the most influential honky-tonk singers of all time, with hits like 'If You've Got the Money I've Got the Time' and 'Long Black Veil,' and he's credited with influencing artists like Hank Williams and George Jones.

DID YOU KNOW

Oakwood is home to one of the last remaining original wooden water towers in East Texas, built in 1923 and still standing today. The 60-foot tall cypress wood structure was constructed without a single nail, using only wooden pegs and iron bands, and it served the community for over 50 years before being replaced by a modern system in 1975.

CULTURAL

Every October, Oakwood hosts the annual 'Acorn Festival' celebrating the town's oak tree heritage, featuring acorn-themed foods, crafts, and competitions including an acorn-throwing contest. The festival draws visitors from across East Texas and includes a parade of vintage tractors, live bluegrass music, and the crowning of the 'Acorn Queen,' a tradition that has continued for over 40 years since the festival's founding in 1982.

How to Find the Best Energy Plan in Oakwood

#1 rule: Usage is key!

Knowing the amount of electricity you will consume in a month is the ideal way to find a deal on electricity in Oakwood. Why does this matter?

The "price per kWh" you see energy companies advertising is for an exact monthly usage (usually 1000 kWh).

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

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

Fortunately, there's a better way to select your power provider.

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 your household.

Better still, 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 ideal way to discover the perfect energy rate plan for your home.

Compare Power does all this math for you in an instant. What takes hours on a spreadsheet is now solved in a few moments.

We put you in the driver's seat, taking what would amount to hours of research, spreadsheets, and calculations across hundreds of plans 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 all fees, so you'll know exactly where your money is going and what to expect on your monthly bill.

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

The bottom line is you should understand your expected or historical usage before selecting the right electricity plan for your home.

If you don't know your usage, estimate

If you cannot acquire 12 months of historical usage or own a brand new home, the next best thing is to estimate how much energy you will use in an average 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 provider at a specific usage that isn't what you'll consume.

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

Moving to Oakwood: Setting up Electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Oakwood, 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.

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

Switching Electricity Companies in Oakwood

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

Your existing energy company will typically 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 electricity companies.

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 company 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 energy company will take care of everything for you, including canceling service with your previous company.

Your lights stay on when you switch. Electricity in Oakwood 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 electricity providers. Therefore the reliability of your service is not affected.

You can pick any date within 14 days of your contract expiration without an "early termination" 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 companies up to 6o days in advance.

And even if you're well inside your contract, savings achieved on your monthly bill by switching providers 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 cheapest rate.

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