Dallas Electricity Tips

Summer Bills

Dallas summers drive higher usage. Average bills go from $120 (April) to $220+ (August). Smart moves:

Fixed rates provide stability — variable plans can spike 20-30% in peak summer
Bill credit plans reward high users with monthly savings
Lock in rates before May when prices typically increase

TOU Plans in Dallas

"Free Nights" plans work best for specific usage patterns. Most Dallas households use 65%+ of electricity during the day (AC running during work hours), so fixed rates often cost less overall.
