HISTORICAL

Roanoke was founded in 1881 as a railroad town along the Texas and Pacific Railway, originally named Elizabethtown after Elizabeth Boaz, who donated land for the railroad depot. The town was later renamed Roanoke after Roanoke, Virginia, by early settlers who hailed from that region and wanted to honor their former home.

RECENT

In 2020, Roanoke completed construction of its new $8.5 million City Hall and Public Safety Complex, consolidating all city services under one roof for the first time in the city's history. The modern facility features energy-efficient design and serves as a symbol of the city's commitment to sustainable growth while maintaining its small-town character.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music star and American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson lived in Roanoke during her high school years and has often spoken fondly of her time in the small Texas town. She attended Burleson High School nearby and credits her Texas roots for keeping her grounded throughout her rise to international stardom.

DID YOU KNOW

Roanoke is home to the annual 'Unique Days Festival,' which features one of the most unusual competitions in Texas—a rubber duck race down Denton Creek. Thousands of numbered rubber ducks are released into the creek each year, with prizes awarded to the owners of the fastest-floating fowl, raising money for local charities in the process.

CULTURAL

Despite having fewer than 10,000 residents, Roanoke has maintained its designation as a 'Certified Retirement Community' by the Texas Department of Agriculture since 2005. The city actively promotes itself as an ideal place for retirees, offering specialized services, senior-friendly amenities, and a slower pace of life while remaining just 30 minutes from Dallas-Fort Worth.

How to Find the Best Energy Plan in Roanoke

#1 rule: Know your usage!

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

The "price per kWh" you see power companies advertising is for an exact monthly usage (usually 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 electricity 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 enrolled.

Thankfully, there's a better way to select your energy plan.

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

Better yet, 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 absolute best way to discover the ideal electricity plan for your home.

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

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

We clarify the details, disclosing the various charges, so you'll know precisely 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 ever having to leave our website.

The takeaway here is you must understand your expected or historical usage before picking the best energy plan for your home.

If you don't know your usage, estimate

If you cannot acquire 12 months of historical usage, or you're the owner of 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 Roanoke: Setting up Electricity

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

It may take some effort to acquire usage for the past 12 months, 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 can't obtain a usage history, you can estimate your monthly usage instead. 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 instantly through Compare Power. We will remind you when it's time to come back to switch and save at the end of the plan length you decide on.

Switching Electricity Companies in Roanoke

Switching is good. Market conditions are constantly in flux, so shopping for a lower price each year when your contract expires is essential.

Your existing energy company will typically 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 electricity companies.

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

Your lights stay on when you switch. Electricity in Roanoke 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 electricity companies. 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. 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 providers may outweigh the fee of breaking 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.

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 will need to collect the usage history for the past 12 months.
