Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Paradise was founded in 1887 when the Rock Island Railroad came through the area, and the town was named by early settler Doc Holliday (not the famous gunfighter) who declared the beautiful rolling hills and fertile land to be 'paradise.' The community grew around agriculture and the railroad depot, becoming a shipping point for cotton and grain from the surrounding Wise County farmland.

RECENT

In 2019, Paradise completed a major downtown revitalization project that restored several historic buildings along their 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 and attracting visitors from the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music songwriter and performer Red Steagall, known for penning hits like 'Lone Star Beer and Bob Wills Music' and serving as the Official Cowboy Poet of Texas, has strong ties to Paradise and the surrounding area. He frequently performs at local events and has helped put this small town on the map in country music circles, often referencing the area's ranching heritage in his work.

DID YOU KNOW

Paradise is home to one of the last remaining original Rock Island Railroad depots in North Texas, which now serves as a museum and community center. The depot was saved from demolition in the 1980s by local residents who physically moved the building to its current location, and it still contains original telegraph equipment and railroad artifacts from the late 1800s.

CULTURAL

Every October, Paradise hosts the annual 'Paradise Pumpkin Festival' which transforms the tiny town into a fall wonderland with over 10,000 pumpkins decorating the streets and businesses. The festival began in 1995 as a small community gathering but has grown to attract thousands of visitors from across North Texas, featuring live music, local crafts, and a famous pumpkin pie contest that draws entries from as far away as Oklahoma.

How to Find the Best Energy Plan in Paradise

#1 rule: Know your usage!

Knowing the amount of electricity you will consume month-to-month is the best way to shop for energy in Paradise. Why should you care?

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

Every plan uses a different calculation for how your monthly statement is calculated, and your monthly bill will vary depending on how much electricity you consume in a month.

Unless you use exactly the advertised amount each month, you will end up paying an effective "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 total monthly bill based on estimated monthly usage, then comparing options 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 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 determine the perfect energy plan for your home.

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

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

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

We then help you order your plan with your selected electricity company without ever leaving our website.

The takeaway here is you must know your expected or historical usage before choosing 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.

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 shop for the best energy plan for your specific usage.

Moving to Paradise: Setting up Electricity

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

Switching is good. Market conditions are always changing, so it is essential to shop for a lower price each year when your contract is close to expiring.

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

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

Switching can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars yearly on your energy bill.

Switching is easy:

  • You don't have to contact 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 electricity company will take care of everything for you, including canceling service with your previous company.

There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Paradise 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. That's Texas Law.

If you're still under contract, check how many months remain on your contract. You can set a future start date with most companies 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 best 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.
