How It Works

From estimate to optimized plan in 60 days.

1

Tell Us About Your Home

Square footage, number of residents, heating type—the basics that drive your electricity usage.

2

Get Your Usage Estimate

We calculate your expected monthly usage using Texas climate patterns and your home characteristics.

3

See Flexible Plan Options

We recommend providers that let you change plans easily—because estimates aren't perfect.

4

Set Up Reminders

We'll check in after you move to verify your estimate and recommend adjustments if needed.

Why We Recommend Flexible Providers

When you're estimating usage, you need room to adjust. Here's why flexibility matters.

🎯

Estimates Aren't Perfect

Your actual usage might differ from our estimate. Flexible providers let you switch to a better-fit plan without penalties.

🔄

Life Changes

Work from home? New baby? Flexible providers adapt with you. Change plans when your needs change.

🛡️

Protection

If your first plan isn't right, you're not stuck. No early termination fees, no guilt—just find what works.

📊

Data-Driven Optimization

After 30-60 days of real usage data, you can optimize with confidence. We'll help you find the perfect fit.

What You Should Know About Texas Electricity

Moving from another state? Here's how electricity works in Texas.

🏛️

Deregulated Market

Texas has a competitive electricity market with 100+ providers. You choose your provider—not the utility.

⚡

High Summer Usage

Texas summers are brutal. Expect 50%+ higher usage in July-August compared to spring months.

📅

Contract Terms

Most plans are 12-24 months. But flexible providers let you change or cancel without penalties.

🔌

Smart Meters

All Texas meters are "smart" and report usage to ERCOT. Connect your meter to get real usage data.

Questions?

Everything you need to know about the Movers Guide.

How accurate is the usage estimate? ▼
Our estimates are typically within 15% of actual usage for standard homes. Factors like home age, insulation quality, and personal habits can cause variance. That's why we recommend flexible providers and set up post-move check-ins.
What makes a provider "flexible"? ▼
Flexible providers allow you to change plans without early termination fees, or have low/no penalties for plan changes. This is important when estimating usage because your actual needs might differ.
Can I change my plan after I move in? ▼
Yes! With flexible providers, you can switch plans anytime. Once you have real usage data (30-60 days), we can recommend the perfect plan for your actual usage pattern.
What if my estimate is way off? ▼
That's exactly why we recommend flexible providers. If your actual usage is significantly different, you can switch to a better-fit plan without penalties.
Do I need to sign up for ComparePower? ▼
No! The Movers Guide is free for everyone. You can get estimates, see recommendations, and set reminders without an account.
