Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Sinton was founded in 1886 and named after David Sinton, a wealthy Cincinnati businessman who never actually visited the town but invested heavily in the area's cattle ranching operations. The town was established as a shipping point for cattle along the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railway, becoming a crucial link between South Texas ranches and northern markets during the late 1800s cattle boom.

RECENT

In 2020, Sinton completed a major downtown revitalization project that transformed the historic courthouse square area with new sidewalks, period lighting, and landscaping. The $2.3 million project also included the restoration of several historic buildings and the creation of a new community event space that has become the centerpiece for the annual Cinco de Mayo festival and other community gatherings.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music star George Strait spent part of his childhood in nearby Pearsall but frequently visited Sinton for cattle auctions with his father, and the town's ranching culture heavily influenced his authentic cowboy persona. Additionally, Sinton was home to several members of the famous King Ranch cowboy families, including some of the original vaqueros who helped develop modern American ranching techniques in the late 1800s.

DID YOU KNOW

Sinton is home to one of the last remaining original Harvey House restaurant buildings in Texas, built in 1907 to serve passengers on the Missouri Pacific Railroad. The Harvey House chain was famous for employing the 'Harvey Girls,' young women who brought refined dining and hospitality to the American frontier, and Sinton's location made it a crucial stop for travelers heading to the Gulf Coast before the age of automobiles.

CULTURAL

Sinton hosts the annual 'Cowboy Days' festival each October, featuring one of the few remaining authentic working cowboy competitions in South Texas where real ranch hands compete in practical skills like cattle cutting, roping, and horseshoeing. The festival celebrates the town's deep ranching heritage and attracts visitors from across the state who want to experience genuine cowboy culture rather than the commercialized rodeo circuit found in larger cities.

How to Find the Best Energy Plan in Sinton

#1 rule: Usage is king!

Knowing how much electricity you will use month-to-month is the ideal way to shop for electricity in Sinton. Why is this so vital?

The rate electricity companies advertise is for an exact monthly usage (usually 2000 kWh).

Every plan uses a different equation for how your monthly bill is calculated, and your monthly bill will vary depending on how much power you use in the month.

Unless you use the advertised amount each month, you will pay a "price per kWh" different than what you observed when enrolled.

Fortunately, there's a better way to choose your energy company.

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

Even better, 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 ideal way to discover your home's ideal energy rate plan.

Compare Power does all this math for you in an instant. What takes hours inside a spreadsheet is now done in a few seconds.

We put you in the driver's seat, taking what would amount to hours of research, spreadsheets, and calculations across hundreds of offers to assist 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 precisely where your money is going and what to expect on your bill.

We then assist you in enrolling with your chosen energy provider without leaving our service.

The bottom line is you must understand your expected or historical usage before selecting 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 provider 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 Sinton: Setting up Electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Sinton, 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 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 come back to switch and save at the end of the plan term you decide on.

Switching Electricity Companies in Sinton

Switching is good. Market conditions constantly change, so you must shop for a lower rate each year when your contract expires.

Your existing energy company will typically raise your energy rate once your term 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 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 provider 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 energy provider will handle everything, including terminating service with your previous provider.

There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Sinton 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 providers. Therefore the reliability of your service is not affected.

You can choose any date up to 14 days before your contract's end date without an "early termination" fee. Texas law protects you here.

If you're still under contract, check 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 understanding your usage is the best way to find the best price.

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