Frisco is one of the fastest-growing cities in America, with newer homes that are typically larger and more energy-efficient than Texas average — but also use more electricity in absolute terms because of their size. Frisco is fully deregulated with Oncor delivery. The combination of high monthly usage and Texas's lowest TDU rates makes shopping providers in Frisco particularly worthwhile.
Oncor serves all of Frisco with the standard DFW TDU pricing: about 4.27¢/kWh plus around $5.25 monthly. With Frisco's typical larger home sizes and higher kWh usage (often 1,500-2,500 kWh in summer), even small per-kWh differences result in meaningful annual savings.
The actual electricity rate — the part you can control — is set by your Retail Electric Provider (REP). In Frisco, the most common providers are TXU Energy, Reliant, Direct Energy, Gexa, Champion Energy. Switching providers takes 1-2 billing cycles and doesn't interrupt service.
Frisco's newer homes have better insulation and modern HVAC but are larger than older Texas homes. Net result: medium-to-high monthly kWh. A small rate difference translates to bigger dollar savings.
Many Frisco homes have pools. A pool pump running 8-10 hours/day in summer adds $40-70/month to your bill. Variable-speed pumps and timer schedules cut this in half.
Frisco residents adopt smart home tech early. Pair a smart thermostat with smart plugs on pool pumps and you can shave 15-25% off peak summer bills with one weekend of setup.
The fastest way: use our plan comparison tool with your ZIP code. It pulls every available plan from the Compare Power database (the same data REPs publish to the Public Utility Commission of Texas) and ranks them by what you would actually pay at your usage level.
If you don't know your usage, run the bill calculator first to estimate it, or check your last bill for the "kWh used" number.

Does switching providers cost anything? No. Switching itself is free. If you're mid-contract on your current plan, you might owe an Early Termination Fee (typically $150-$295) to your current REP — check your contract.
