Types of Haltom City electric plans

As you explore energy plans in Haltom City, you might run into a few different plan types. Here are some of the most common:

• Fixed-rate plan: When you sign up for one of these plans, you’ll receive a fixed energy rate, which will remain the same as long as your contract is active. This protects you from rate spikes when energy demand is high. Term lengths vary, but they’re usually between 12 and 36 months. If you cancel before yours is up, your provider will likely charge an early termination fee (ETF).
• Variable-rate plan: You won’t get a fixed rate with one of these plans. Instead, your rate can fluctuate each month based on wholesale energy costs. This means that you can potentially save money on your electric bill when prices are low, but when demand rises, your rate could spike. There are no ETFs or long-term commitments required with a variable-rate plan, so you can switch or cancel whenever you’d like, which may be ideal if you’re a short-term renter.
• No-deposit plans: When signing up for a new electricity plan, your provider may require you to put down a deposit first. If that’s something you’d rather avoid, you can seek out a no-deposit plan. One common type of no-deposit plan is a prepaid plan, in which you’re charged for your electricity usage upfront and you top up your account when the balance runs low.
