Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Wichita Falls was founded in 1876 and named after a five-foot waterfall on the Wichita River, though the original falls were washed away by a flood in 1886. The city rebuilt artificial falls in 1987 as a tourist attraction, making it one of the few cities in America named after a natural feature that no longer exists naturally but was recreated by human engineering.

RECENT

In 2020, Wichita Falls made national headlines by becoming the first city in Texas to implement direct potable reuse, recycling wastewater directly into drinking water to combat severe drought conditions. The innovative water treatment facility can process up to 5 million gallons per day, earning the city recognition as a leader in water conservation technology.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music legend Mac Davis, who wrote hits like 'In the Ghetto' for Elvis Presley and 'I Believe in Music,' was born in Wichita Falls in 1942. Davis also had his own successful recording career and hosted a variety show on NBC, but always credited his small-town Texas upbringing for keeping him grounded in the entertainment industry.

DID YOU KNOW

Wichita Falls is home to the world's littlest skyscraper, the Newby-McMahon Building, which stands only 40 feet tall due to a legendary 1919 investment scam. Investors thought they were funding a 480-foot building but the blueprints were actually drawn in inches rather than feet, resulting in a four-story 'skyscraper' that still stands today as a monument to the importance of reading contracts carefully.

CULTURAL

The city hosts the Hotter'N Hell Hundred, one of the largest single-day cycling events in the United States, attracting over 10,000 riders annually since 1982. The 100-mile ride takes place in late August when temperatures often exceed 100°F, living up to its name and drawing cyclists from around the world who want to test their endurance against the brutal Texas heat.

Deregulation helps consumers like you by pushing energy providers to compete for your dollars rather than establish standard rates.

How to Find the Best Energy Plan in Wichita Falls

#1 rule: Know your usage!

Knowing your exact monthly usage simplifies the energy shopping process in Wichita Falls. This information is critical because energy providers quote their rates using a standardized price per kWh rate.

The bottom line is that unless your home uses this amount of kWh each month, your bill will vary from the quoted price.

There is a better way to shop for energy plans in Wichita Falls.

Compare Power uses your location and monthly usage rate to find plans that meet your energy needs. The site uses your actual usage to create bespoke quotes rather than relying on the one-size approach offered by energy companies.

The search process takes a few seconds, so you can find your next energy provider and complete your sign-up in one sitting. Compare Power allows users to finish sign-up without leaving the site.

From search to contract signing, you can eliminate hours of research using Compare Power. You will see all of the fees and taxes applied to your new account without having to read the fine print. All you need is your previous year's worth of electrical usage.

If you don't know your usage, estimate

New homeowners or those who can't obtain usage figures for the previous year should estimate their usage in a typical month.

This isn't ideal, but it is better than selecting the first plan you see and finding that your energy bill doesn't match your budget.

Use Compare Power to find the best energy plan for your specific usage.

Moving to Wichita Falls: Setting up Electricity

Wichita Falls residents of all ages find unique attractions close to home. The city hosts the largest 100-mile bicycle ride in the nation. The Depot Square Historic District features the Newby-McMahon Building, the world's littlest skyscraper. The 234-acre Lake Wichita Park features a long paved trail and a model airplane landing strip.

Important: If this is your first time setting up an electricity service in Wichita Falls, it is best to have your property's energy usage from the previous year.

Your property's previous owner should be able to find their usage on their billing statements. This research may take some time, but these efforts could cut your monthly bill.

Compare Power calculates the numbers instantly to help you meet your home's usage pattern.

If you can't find usage figures, use Compare Power's "Help Me Choose" tool to evaluate your usage. The site also provides reminders for switching from an old contract to a new one.

Switching Electricity Companies in Wichita Falls

Your electrical provider may take the end of your energy contract as a chance to increase your monthly rates.

This likely event means you should search for affordable electricity rates each year to exploit the energy market. You may save thousands of dollars each year by switching accounts.

Switching contracts is simple because your new electricity company handles everything, including cancellation. As you switch, you don't need to worry about representatives coming to your home or disruption in your power. The switch only takes moments; you could realize savings in the first few weeks.

The wires and poles that deliver electricity to your home remain the same no matter your provider, so there is no loss of power.

Here is some food for thought about switching plans:

  • Texas law allows early contract cancellation within two weeks of the contract's end without penalty.
  • Some plans allow you to arrange your next contract within 60 days of your current contract's conclusion.
  • You may find a new energy provider with a rate that makes early cancellation worthwhile, even if you need to pay a penalty.
