Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Zavalla was founded in 1900 as a lumber town by the Texas Southeastern Railroad and named after Lorenzo de Zavala, the first vice president of the Republic of Texas. The town was built around massive sawmills that processed timber from the surrounding Angelina National Forest, becoming one of East Texas's most important lumber centers during the early 20th century boom.

RECENT

In 2018, Zavalla completed a major downtown revitalization project that restored several historic buildings from the lumber era and created a new community center. The project was funded through a combination of state rural development grants and local fundraising efforts, bringing new life to the small town's historic core.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music singer and songwriter Don Henley of the Eagles spent part of his childhood in nearby Linden but frequently visited Zavalla for school events and community gatherings. The East Texas Piney Woods region, including Zavalla, influenced his later songwriting about small-town American life and rural landscapes.

DID YOU KNOW

Zavalla sits in the heart of the Angelina National Forest and is home to one of the last remaining old-growth longleaf pine stands in Texas, some trees over 200 years old. The town also features the historic Zavalla Depot, which was moved from its original location and now serves as a museum showcasing the area's railroad and lumber heritage.

CULTURAL

Every October, Zavalla hosts the annual Timber Festival, celebrating the town's lumber heritage with chainsaw carving competitions, log rolling contests, and traditional East Texas barbecue. The festival draws visitors from across the region and features demonstrations of historic logging techniques, including the use of crosscut saws and draft horses that were once common in the area's timber operations.

How to Find the Best Energy Plan in Zavalla

#1 rule: Usage is king!

Determining the amount of electricity you will consume month-to-month is the ideal way to find a deal on electricity in Zavalla. Why is this so vital?

The rate electricity providers advertise for an exact monthly usage (typically 1000 kWh).

Every plan has a different calculation for how your monthly bill is computed, and your monthly bill will vary depending on how much energy you use in a month.

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

Fortunately, there's a better way to pick your energy provider.

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

Even better, if you have 12 months of usage history for your household, 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 your home's ideal electricity rate plan.

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

We put the power in your hands, taking what would amount to hours of research, spreadsheets, and computations across hundreds of plans 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 help you order your plan with your chosen power provider without leaving our service.

The bottom line is you should determine your expected or historical usage before selecting the best 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 of usage history. In that case, you can always estimate the average energy you will use in any given 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 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 Zavalla: Setting up Electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Zavalla, 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 via our "Help Me Choose" tool. The tool can assess your home's projected electricity consumption by simply entering your zip code.

By signing up for a plan through Compare Power, you will receive automated reminders when renewing your existing plan or possibly switching plans.

Switching Electricity Companies in Zavalla

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

Your existing electricity company will typically raise your electricity rate once your term expires. If you do not 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 providers.

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 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 company will take care of everything for you, including canceling your service with your previous company.

Your lights stay on when you switch. Electricity in Zavalla 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 energy companies. Therefore the reliability of your service is not affected.

You can pick any date up to 14 days before your contract's end date without an "early termination" 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.

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 want to find the best plan, remember that knowing your usage is the best way to find the lowest price.

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