Residential Electricity Plans for Texas Homes & Apartments

Texas residents can choose between three main residential rate structures. Each carries a different mix of price certainty, flexibility, and usage-based savings — and the right one depends on how much electricity you use, when you use it, and whether you value a predictable bill or the chance to save on off-peak hours.

Fixed Rate Plans

A fixed-rate residential plan locks in a single per-kWh rate for the full contract term — typically 12, 24, or 36 months. Your monthly bill still reflects how much electricity you actually use, but the rate itself stays constant regardless of what happens in the ERCOT market, the weather, or natural gas prices. For most Texas homeowners and apartment renters, a fixed-rate plan is the simplest and safest choice: predictable bills, protection from summer price spikes, and easy budgeting all year round. The trade-off is a small premium over variable rates, because the REP is absorbing the market risk on your behalf. Elite shops 25+ REPs to make sure you lock in at the right time — not just any time.



Best for: Families and renters who want predictable monthly bills, homeowners on a fixed budget, and anyone who values zero billing surprises over chasing the lowest possible rate.

How to Read Your Electricity Facts Label

The Electricity Facts Label (EFL) is the most important document in Texas residential energy shopping. Every REP is required to publish one for each plan — and it reveals costs that the headline rate hides. Here's what to look for.

Base Charge & TDU

Base Charge: A flat monthly fee from your electricity provider for maintaining your account and billing—same every month.

TDU Charges: Delivery fees from your local utility for maintaining power lines and bringing electricity to your home. Includes a small monthly fee plus a per-kWh usage charge. These are regulated and the same no matter which provider you choose.

No Minimum Usage Fees

Some electricity plans charge a fee if your monthly usage falls below a certain amount. With our plans, you won’t be penalized for using less electricity.

That means:

  • No extra charges for low usage months
  • No surprises if you travel or use less energy
  • You only pay for the electricity you actually use

It’s simple, transparent pricing designed to keep your bill predictable and fair.

Pricing & Bill

Your price per kWh stays the same for the entire contract, giving you predictable bills and protection from market spikes.

Your monthly bill includes:

  • Energy charge (fixed rate × usage)
  • Base charge (if applicable)
  • TDU delivery charges
  • Taxes and standard fees

Great for stable pricing and easier budgeting year-round.

Residential Electricity FAQs

Answers to the questions Texas homeowners and renters ask most about residential electricity rates, plan shopping, and working with a broker.

  • How does LeeBroker Services help me save on residential electricity if you're not the supplier?

    LeeBroker Services is a licensed Texas energy broker, not a Retail Electric Provider (REP). Our team manually shops 25+ licensed REPs for every residential customer, compares the fine print on each Electricity Facts Label, and emails you the plan that actually fits your usage. You enroll directly with the REP we recommend, and we're paid a small referral fee by the supplier — not by you. There are zero fees to the homeowner or renter.

  • What is an Electricity Facts Label (EFL) and why does it matter?

    An Electricity Facts Label is the standardized one-page disclosure that every Texas REP is required to publish for each residential plan. It shows the energy charge, base charge, minimum usage fees, contract length, and early termination fee. The headline rate on a plan is almost never what you'll actually pay — the EFL is the only document that tells you the true cost. Learning to read the EFL is the single most important thing a Texas resident can do when shopping for electricity.

  • What is an early termination fee (ETF) and how do I avoid one?

    If you cancel your electricity contract before the end of the agreed term, an Early Termination Fee may apply.


    The fee amount is listed in your contract terms.

    It typically applies if you switch providers or cancel early.

    Many plans waive the fee if you move and provide proof of a new address.


    This can be reviewed before you sign your contract. 


  • Can I switch providers if I'm renting an apartment?

    In most deregulated Texas markets, yes — as long as your apartment has its own individual electricity meter and the account is in your name, you can choose any REP you want. Check your lease to confirm. If your landlord holds a master account for the entire building, electricity is bundled into rent and you can't switch individually — in that case, the property owner would need to work with LeeBroker Services' commercial side.

  • Are Time-of-Use or Free Nights plans actually cheaper for Texas homes?

    Only if you actually shift significant usage to the free window — running the dishwasher, laundry, and pool pump overnight. Free Nights plans typically charge a much higher daytime rate to subsidize the free hours, so if your usage is spread evenly across the day you'll often pay more than a standard fixed-rate plan. Before LeeBroker Services recommends a Time-of-Use plan, we model your bill against your actual usage pattern to confirm it'll save you money.

  • How are LeeBroker Services' broker fees structured — do I pay anything?

    These plans offer discounted or “free” electricity during certain hours, but they usually charge higher rates during daytime and peak usage times—when most Texas homes use the most energy.


    They can work if you can shift a large portion of your usage to nights or weekends. However, many households find this difficult, and bills can end up higher than expected.


    Fixed-rate plans provide the same price 24/7, giving you predictable bills without needing to change your daily routine.
