HISTORICAL

Pleasanton was founded in 1858 by John Bowen, who named the town after his friend General Alfred Pleasonton, a Union cavalry officer during the Civil War. The town served as a crucial stop along the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railway, which brought prosperity and growth to the area in the late 1800s as cattle ranchers shipped their livestock to market.

RECENT

In 2019, Pleasanton completed a major downtown revitalization project that transformed Main Street with new sidewalks, period lighting, and landscaping to preserve its historic charm. The city also opened a new municipal complex and upgraded its water treatment facilities, investing over $15 million in infrastructure improvements to support future growth.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music star George Strait was born in nearby Poteet but spent much of his youth in Pleasanton, where he developed his love for traditional country music and rodeo. The 'King of Country Music' often credits his South Texas roots and time in Pleasanton for shaping his authentic cowboy persona and musical style that made him one of the best-selling artists of all time.

DID YOU KNOW

Pleasanton is home to the Longhorn Saloon, which claims to have the longest bar in Texas at 75 feet long, carved from a single piece of mahogany.

How to Find the Best Energy Plan in Pleasanton

#1 rule: Know your usage!

Determining the amount of energy you will consume monthly is the ideal way to shop for electricity in Pleasanton. Why does this matter?

The rate you see power companies advertising is for an exact monthly usage (typically 2000 kWh).

Every plan uses a different equation for how your monthly bill is computed, and your monthly bill will vary depending on how much power you use 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 pick your energy provider.

Calculating your expected monthly bill based on estimated monthly usage, then comparing rates with the total monthly bill is the best way to shop for the best rate for your household.

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 months and is the absolute best way to discover the ideal 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 just seconds.

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

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

We then assist you in ordering your plan with your selected electricity provider without ever having to leave our service.

The takeaway here is you must understand your expected or historical usage before choosing the right electricity 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 monthly energy usage 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 shop for the best electricity plan for your specific usage.

Moving to Pleasanton: Setting up Electricity

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

Sign-up for a plan instantly 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 Pleasanton

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

Your existing energy company will normally raise your electricity rate once your contract expires. If you do not act, you'll be left on a month-to-month rate significantly more than the plan you signed up for.

Before renewing your contract, shop the rates of competing electricity 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 company to cancel (no "break-up call")
  • No one comes to your home
  • There is no disruption in your power supply
  • It takes just minutes

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

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

You can choose any date up to 14 days before your contract ends 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 providers 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 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.
