Harker Heights, TX
Ambit Energy Electric Service, Rates & Plans

Harker Heights is a growing community in Coryell County in West Central Texas, located near the Fort Hood military installation. When you move to Harker Heights, you'll work with two separate companies for electricity. Oncor Electric Delivery is the regulated utility that owns and maintains the poles, wires, and meters in your area—call Oncor for any power outages or infrastructure issues. For your retail electricity plan, billing, and customer support, you'll contact a retail electric provider such as Ambit Energy. This split between the regulated utility and retail provider is standard throughout Texas's deregulated electricity market and gives you the freedom to choose your plan. Harker Heights experiences hot summers typical of Central Texas, which means most households rely heavily on air conditioning from June through September. Winter heating demands are generally mild. When comparing retail electricity plans, focus on rates in the 1,000 to 2,000 kilowatt-hour usage tier rather than the advertised 500 kWh tier, because most Harker Heights households actually consume in that higher range over a full year. Looking at realistic usage tiers helps you identify the plan that will save you the most money over your entire 12-month contract period.
