How weather affects Harker Heights electricity rates
The weather is a major factor affecting electricity rates. In Harker Heights, long, hot summers drive up demand. That means rates are higher from late spring through early fall. However, mild temperatures during the rest of the year allow you to find affordable rates by switching at the right time. You may have to pay an early termination fee (ETF) if you cancel your current service before the contract expires. If you switch electricity providers, your new electric company will take care of the setup — you won’t notice any interruptions.
Types of plans in Harker Heights
When you compare Harker Heights energy plans, you’ll find many different options. We’ll explain these briefly here, but you can find out more in our guide to picking a plan. Feel free to call our energy experts at the number on your screen with any additional questions.
Fixed-rate plans in Harker Heights
A fixed-rate energy plan secures you a price for your energy usage for the duration of the contract. Fixed-rate contracts usually last between 12 and 36 months. Be aware, however, that you’ll have to pay an ETF if you cancel your plan early unless you’re moving out of the company’s service area.
Variable-rate plans in Harker Heights
If you’d rather have the flexibility to change plans at any time, a variable-rate plan may be a good fit for you. With these plans, you’re not locked into a contract, and you may be able to secure a low introductory rate. However, your rate can change at any time, following the fluctuations of the energy market. If market rates decrease, so will yours, but the opposite is also true.
No-deposit plans in Harker Heights
Many energy plans require an upfront deposit, depending on your credit score. If you’d rather avoid the credit check and deposit, you can consider no-deposit plans. Some providers have prepaid options that allow you to pay for your electricity upfront and add funds to your account balance as needed.
