Spring energy FAQs
There isn’t a single “best” provider in Spring since each company has something different to offer. For example, providers like Gexa Energy offer renewable options, while companies like Payless Power have no-deposit plans. Thanks to deregulation, you can choose the one that best fulfills your unique needs.
SaveOnEnergy’s guide to power consumption explains how to estimate your usage based on your appliances and habits. You can also check past electricity bills to determine how much energy you’ve used in previous months.
Short for “kilowatt-hour,” kWh measures how much energy you use. Light companies use this figure when expressing their rates (for example, 12 cents per kWh).
When the weather is particularly cold or hot, energy usage increases. The extra energy demand leads to higher prices. On the other hand, demand (and rates) typically fall when temperatures are milder.
Curbing your energy consumption can help reduce your electricity bill. To do this, you can try energy-saving strategies like using less hot water, installing a smart thermostat, and opting for LED light bulbs and TVs. It’s also worth shopping around to find cheap electricity in Spring. If you find a lower rate, consider switching plans.
