What drives the cost in Texas
Texas summers are long and hot, so heating cost is modest across most of the state, though the 2021 winter storm taught many owners to take freeze protection and outage planning seriously. Much of the state has a competitive retail electricity market, so rates vary by plan, and sales tax applies with local additions. Trade labor is moderate in most metros and delivery distances can be long in rural areas.
Tips for Texas buyers
- Choose an electricity plan that suits overnight heating and check whether your rate is fixed.
- Plan for shade in summer and a freeze plan in winter.
- Gulf coast buyers should ask about wind anchoring and drainage.
