HISTORICAL

Ovilla was founded in 1886 when the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad built a line through the area, establishing a depot that became the heart of the community. The town was named after Ovilla Kearby, the daughter of Jerome Kearby, a prominent local landowner and politician who donated land for the railroad right-of-way. The railroad brought cotton farmers and merchants to the area, transforming it from open prairie into a thriving agricultural community.

RECENT

In 2019, Ovilla completed construction of a new $3.2 million municipal complex that consolidated city hall, police, fire, and court services under one roof. The modern facility replaced aging buildings scattered throughout the city and includes advanced emergency dispatch capabilities and a community meeting space. This project represented the largest municipal investment in the city's history and symbolized Ovilla's transition from a rural farming community to a modern suburban city.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music star LeAnn Rimes spent part of her childhood in nearby areas and performed at several Ovilla community events during her early career in the 1990s. The city also produced NFL player Kendall Fuller, who was born in nearby Red Oak but grew up attending Ovilla community events and youth sports programs. Fuller went on to play for Virginia Tech and has had a successful NFL career with the Washington Football Team and Kansas City Chiefs.

DID YOU KNOW

Ovilla is home to one of the last remaining original Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad depots in North Texas, which still stands on its original foundation from 1886. The depot building has been converted into a community museum and event space, but railroad enthusiasts can still see the original freight scales, telegraph equipment, and even graffiti left by railroad workers over a century ago. The building survived multiple tornadoes, floods, and development pressures that destroyed similar structures throughout the region.

CULTURAL

Every October, Ovilla hosts the annual 'Founder's Day Festival' that recreates life in the 1880s railroad town, complete with period costumes, blacksmith demonstrations, and rides on a restored railroad handcar. Local families have participated in this tradition for over 30 years, with some residents tracing their ancestry back to the original railroad workers and cotton farmers who founded the town. The festival features a unique 'Railroad Days' competition where teams race vintage railroad handcars on a preserved section of the original MKT track.

How to Find the Best Energy Plan in Ovilla

#1 rule: Usage is king!

Determining the amount of energy you will use month-to-month is the ideal way to find a deal on electricity in Ovilla. Why should you care?

The rate you see power providers advertising is for an exact monthly usage (typically 1000 kWh).

Every plan uses a different equation for how your monthly bill is computed, and your monthly bill will change according to how much power you consume 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 ordered.

Thankfully, there's a better way to shop for a power 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 a year 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 and is the ideal way to determine the perfect electricity plan for your home.

Compare Power does all this math for you instantly. What could take you hours on a spreadsheet is now done in moments.

We put the power in your hands, taking what would amount to hours of research, spreadsheets, and computations across hundreds of offers, and assist you step-by-step with the electricity plan that's best for your household's usage.

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

We then help you sign up with your selected electricity provider without leaving our website.

The takeaway here is you must know your expected or historical usage before ordering the right energy 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 picking 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 shop for the best electricity plan for your specific usage.

Moving to Ovilla: Setting up Electricity

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

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.

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 length you decide on.

Switching Electricity Companies in Ovilla

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

Your existing electricity provider will typically raise your energy rate once your contract expires. If you fail to act, 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 energy companies.

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 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 decide to switch, your new energy 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 Ovilla 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 pick any date up to 14 days before your contract's end date without an "early cancellation" fee. 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 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 knowing your usage is the best way to find the lowest 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.
