Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Winter Haven was established in the 1880s as a railroad town along the Texas and Pacific Railway line connecting Marshall to Dallas. The town got its name from early settlers who found the area provided a perfect 'winter haven' with its mild climate and natural springs that rarely froze, making it an ideal stopping point for travelers and livestock during harsh winter months.

RECENT

In 2020, Winter Haven completed a major downtown revitalization project that transformed the historic railroad depot into a community center and museum. The $2.3 million project, funded through state grants and local fundraising, has attracted new businesses and helped preserve the town's railroad heritage while creating a hub for community events and tourism.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music songwriter and producer Billy Sherrill, who wrote hits for Tammy Wynette including 'Stand By Your Man,' spent part of his childhood in Winter Haven during the 1940s. Sherrill later became one of Nashville's most influential producers, helping to create the 'Nashville Sound' that dominated country music in the 1960s and 1970s.

DID YOU KNOW

Winter Haven is home to one of the last remaining original Harvey House restaurants from the famous Fred Harvey chain that served railroad travelers across the American West. The restored 1920s building still contains the original marble countertops, tin ceiling, and hand-painted murals that once welcomed weary passengers on the Texas and Pacific line, making it a rare piece of American railroad dining history.

CULTURAL

Every December, Winter Haven hosts the unique 'Polar Express Christmas Festival' where the town transforms its historic railroad depot into a replica of the famous children's book setting. Local volunteers dress as conductors and serve hot chocolate while children board a restored 1940s train car for storytelling sessions, creating a magical holiday tradition that draws families from across East Texas.

How to Find the Best Energy Plan in Winter Haven

#1 rule: Determine what your usage is!

Knowing the amount of energy you will consume monthly is the best way to find a deal on energy in Winter Haven. Why does this matter?

You see power companies advertising the "price per kWh" for an exact monthly usage (usually 1000 kWh).

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

Unless you match the exact advertised usage each month, you will end up paying an effective "price per kWh" different than the one you saw advertised when you enrolled.

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

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

Better still, if you have a year of usage history for your home, you can compare plans by total annual cost. This annualized method considers the changes in usage between summer and winter months and is the absolute best way to discover the ideal electricity plan for your home.

Compare Power does all the complicated math for you in an instant. What could take you hours on a spreadsheet is done in 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 energy plan that's best for your home's consumption.

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

We help you sign up with your selected electricity company without leaving our website.

The bottom line is you should know your expected or historical usage before picking the right energy 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 usage history. In that case, you can always estimate your average monthly energy usage.

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 electricity provider at a specific usage that isn't what you'll consume.

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

Moving to Winter Haven: Setting up Electricity

If this is your first time setting up an electricity service in Winter Haven, you need to get the previous 12 months of energy usage for your new home to get the best rate.

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: You can estimate your monthly usage if you can't obtain a usage history. Utilize our "Help Me Choose" tool when you enter your zip code below, and we'll help you evaluate your home's usage.

By signing up for a plan through Compare Power, you will receive automated reminders when it's time to renew your existing plan or possibly switch plans.

Switching Electricity Companies in Winter Haven

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

Your existing energy company will typically raise your energy rate once your contract expires. If you fail to 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 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 provider will handle everything for you, including terminating service with your previous company.

There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Winter Haven 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 within 14 days of your contract expiration without an "early cancellation" fee. 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.

And even if you're well inside your contract, savings achieved on your monthly bill by switching providers 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 knowing 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.
