Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Yorktown was founded in 1848 by John York, a merchant from New York who established a trading post along the Coleto Creek. The town became a crucial stop on the cattle drives from South Texas to Kansas, serving as a supply point where cowboys could stock up on provisions and rest their herds before continuing north on the Chisholm Trail.

RECENT

In 2020, Yorktown completed a major downtown revitalization project that restored several historic buildings along Main Street, including the conversion of the old Yorktown Bank building into a community center and museum. The project has attracted new businesses and helped preserve the town's 19th-century architectural character while boosting local tourism.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music star George Strait's grandfather owned a ranch near Yorktown, and the future 'King of Country' spent many childhood summers in the area learning to rope cattle and ride horses. Strait has often credited his time in DeWitt County with inspiring many of his songs about rural Texas life and cowboy culture.

DID YOU KNOW

Yorktown is home to one of the last remaining original Chisholm Trail markers in Texas, a weathered stone monument that sits in the town square marking the exact route where millions of cattle passed through between 1867 and 1884. The marker was placed by the Daughters of the Republic of Texas in 1936 and contains actual iron from cattle brands used during the trail drives.

CULTURAL

Every October, Yorktown hosts the Western Days Festival, a three-day celebration that recreates an authentic 1880s cattle drive experience complete with chuck wagon cooking, blacksmith demonstrations, and a mock cattle drive down Main Street. The festival attracts visitors from across Texas who come to experience what life was like during the town's heyday as a major cattle shipping point.

How to Find the Best Energy Plan in Yorktown

#1 rule: Determine what your usage is!

Knowing how much energy you will use monthly is the ideal way to find a deal on electricity in Yorktown. Why is this important?

The rate you see energy companies advertising is for an exact monthly usage (usually 1000 kWh).

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

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

Thankfully, there's a better way to shop for energy plans.

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 best rate for your home.

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 determine the perfect electricity plan for your home.

Compare Power does all this math for you instantly. What could take hours on a spreadsheet is solved in a few seconds.

We put you in the driver's seat, taking what would amount to hours of research, spreadsheets, and computations across hundreds of plans and guide you step-by-step to the energy plan that's best for your home's consumption.

We clarify the details, 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 chosen electricity provider without leaving our website.

The takeaway here is you should know your expected or historical usage before selecting the best electricity 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 choosing the first plan you see advertised by an energy company 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 Yorktown: Setting up Electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Yorktown, 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: 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 Yorktown

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 electricity company will typically 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, check the rates of competing energy 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 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 decide to switch, your new energy company will take care of everything for you, including terminating service with your previous company.

Your lights stay on when you switch. Electricity in Yorktown is all delivered by the Oncor Transmission and Distribution Utility.

The wires and poles that deliver electricity 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 up to 14 days early from your current contract's end date without an "early cancellation" fee. That's Texas Law.

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.

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.

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.
