October 2008 Dallas Residential Electric Rates
Posted by: | Comments
If you are confused about electric rates in Dallas and surrounding Oncor utility area we have a great comparison chart below comparing mostly fixed rates with several different electric providers. These electric rates are residential rates. There are a few variable rates in the mix because those companies only offered a variable electric rate so we listed their only option. The rates are designated as to whether they are a fixed electric rate or a variable rate. I recommend to avoid signing up on a variable rate because the month after you sign up on that rate plan the electric rate could do just about anything. A variable electric rate has taken many residential customers by surprise this summer when rates trippled in price. A fixed electric rate is a much safer way to lock into an energy rate because you know exactly what price you will pay the entire term of your contract.
Current October 2008 Residential Electric Rate Comparison
These rates are updated as of October 2 2008. Because residential electric rates change every few weeks these rates will be a little higher or lower as the month continues. This comparison chart will serve as a good indicative comparison of where residential electric rates are at for the month of October 2008. You may click on the links on this comparison chart and sign up online to receive a slightly lower electric rate then calling these providers on the phone. By signing up for electric service online you keep the electric companies costs low for aquiring a new customer and they reward you by giving you a slight discount then if you were to call and speak to a customer service rep over the phone. Signing up online also allows you to take advantage of online discounts that are not promoted when calling the providers on the phone. When you call an electric provider on the phone they expect to close about 70 % of those customers who call in. Because of this most providers will try to sell you a higher electric rate then is available via online discount offers.

July 2008 Houston Residential Electric Rates
Posted by: | CommentsHeads up on What is Going on in the Market This Month
Right now the market is still close to a 3 year high. We saw electric rates in Texas go up the entire month of June and now in July we still see energy prices rising higher. Most people have noticed in the news of how oil has reached $148 setting an all time historical record. The energy sector is up across the board and Houston electric rates are the highest in the state of Texas. Houston must pipe in their energy from far off causing line losses. The power consumption and demand of Houstonians causes congestion and they just don’t turn on enough power plants in your town to meet peak demand periods. Because of these issues you pay ridiculously high prices. Last year rates were around 10 – 11 cents kWh. If you are now trying to renew an energy contract or lock in again you will be surprised to see Houston electricity rates about 5 – 10 cents higher then last year.
July 2008 Electric Rate Chart
We have Houston, Harris County, Brazoria County, and surrounding Centerpoint Energy utility areas electric rates listed here from best to worst. A 12 month fixed Houston electric rate is recommended as rates are expected to travel back down. Long term contracts are cheaper, however you would be locking in at the top of the market when the expectation is that electric rates will be coming back down before 24 and 36 months. Many of the electric rates in the chart below are discount 12 month fixed electric rates. By clicking on the links below and signing up online you will achieve a slightly better rate then what that company normally advertises.
Startex Promotional Code
Posted by: | CommentsStartex Power residential has a 3 month, 6 month, 8 month, 1 year, 24 month, 36 month, and a month to month electric rate plan. If you have been considering using Startex Power for your residential electricity you would be making a wise decision as they compare as one of the very lowest electric rates out there right now if you were to compare them with some of the other competitive electric providers in the Texas market. Another positive thing about this company is that they have yet to do something unethical such as hide additional fees in their electric rate. You will not be charged a monthly customer service fee and the rate is as straightforward as it could be.
One caution however is to not sign up on the promotional month to month rate unless you understand it first. The first month you will pay a very low rate in the 9 cent range but every month after that you will be a about 2 to 3 cents higher then that as it follows a variable market spot rate. This rate is variable and you are not locked into a contract which is a good plan if you are not wanting to be in a contract. Otherwise, the only way to get a consistent low electric rate in Texas is to lock in on some type of monthly term fixed rate.

Startex Power Residential Electric Rates
Posted by: | CommentsStartex Power
Electric Rates for December are at a 12 month low. That means that over the last 12 months electric rates have never been this low. Electric rates did come up as of today from their recent record breaking lows but they are still close to the bottom. If you are trying to find a good deal on residential electricity without all the hidden fees and worries that goes in to finding a reputable energy provider then I would recommend you go with Startex Power. There is no monthly customer service fee or meter read fee. You simply pay the fixed electric rate you sign up for. The have several different monthly terms to choose from as well as a month to month product. If you decide to go with the month to month you need to be aware that the first is the only month you get their low promotional month to month rate and then it goes up a couple cents higher. The good thing about the month to month is you are not on a contract. I personally would recommend signing up on their 8 month or 12 month electric rate. Because energy is at its lowest right now it makes sense to lock in long term. I would go 12 months if it were me but they have longer terms for those who just don’t want to fool with it for awhile.
If you have been to Startex Power’s website you may have seen an opportunity to enter a promotional code there. We have a promotion code for Startex power if you are interested in seeing what kind of electric rates they have. I have the promo code built into the link below.

If you would like to compare Spark Energy with another electric provider in Texas you could go to Startex Power‘s website and see if they have better electric rates in your area. As of Feb 2009 Startex beats Spark Energy on their residential electric rates. The good thing about both of these Retail Electric Provider’s is that they do not charge a monthly customer service charge which could otherwise offset the low cost electric rate. Keep that in mind when shopping around as some of the other electric companies in Texas will have anywhere from a $4.95 – $15.00 monthly customer service charge. If you use a lot of electricity this may not be a problem but for small users it can make a cheap rate not so cheap anymore. So again compare Spark with Startex in your area and see which one is better. Sometimes one will out do the other depending on your homes location.
