Switching providers anywhere in Texas’ deregulated energy market is simple. Shop around for the power plan that best works for you, then complete the enrollment process. Make the switch to Lone Star Energy and we’ll contact your current electric company to work out the details, so you won’t have to worry about any disruptions to your service. Although you can switch at any time, don’t forget to check the end date of your current contract. If you change electric providers before the final 14 days of your contract term, you may need to pay an early termination fee.

Beyond switching to an electricity provider that offers a lower rate per kWh, one of the best ways to save on your power bill is by limiting your use of electricity. Summers here are long and hot and winters can be cold, which is why reducing your consumption of power during these seasons can help save you money. Here are a few ways you can save on your electricity bill:

• Keep your air conditioner and heater set to 78 and 68 degrees in the summer and winter. These temperatures provide the best balance of energy savings and personal comfort.
• Get your air conditioner and heater serviced before you truly need them. Not only does this ensure optimal performance, but it also helps to catch potential issues before they develop.
• Change your air filter once every three months (or sooner if you have pets). This can help reduce your air conditioner’s use of electricity by five to 15 percent.
• Install a programmable thermostat to automate temperature control when you aren’t home.
• Ensure your windows and doors have proper weather stripping to prevent air leaks.
• Unplug your appliances and turn off lights and ceiling fans when you leave a room.
• Turn your fans to rotate clockwise in the winter to circulate warm air.
• Cover your windows with energy-efficient curtains in the summer to keep the temperature in your home cool. Open them up in the winter to let the sun warm things up.
• Energy Star appliances can help you save as much as $450 per year on your electricity bills, according to the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
