Your summer at stake (Jun-Aug)
~$0
Estimated range

This is roughly what you could keep across the three peak months by locking a rate and optimizing, instead of riding a variable plan into the heat.

Good news, you already locked out most of the spike.

A fixed rate means the wholesale jump cannot blow through your contract this summer. There is still money on the table below: the Oncor rebates and a 20-minute bake-off before your contract renews. Keep your renewal date on your calendar so you are not auto-rolled onto a variable rate.

Wait vs. lock it in

Your total electricity spend across the three peak months, both ways.

How we got these numbers
    Bonus, on top of the above
    Don't leave the Oncor rebates on the table

    Oncor's Take A Load Off, Texas commercial rebates start around ~$500 for HVAC, lighting, and load upgrades, and they are first-come, first-served. We keep this separate from the numbers above so we don't overstate your savings. See the Oncor rebate programs →

    Your move
    What to do next

    Three steps. The first one takes about 20 minutes.

    1
    Run a 20-minute rate bake-off
    Compare commercial fixed-rate offers side by side so you know what a real quote looks like before you commit. Compare Texas commercial rates →
    2
    Claim your Oncor rebates
    If you are upgrading HVAC, lighting, or controls anyway, get the rebate paperwork moving early, the funds run out. Start with Oncor energy incentives →
    3
    Lock a fixed-rate contract before August
    Once you have your best quote, sign it. A fixed rate caps your downside for the rest of this summer and the next one. Do it before the peak demand months hit their stride.
    Estimates only. Actual costs and savings depend on your usage, plan, provider quotes, and rebate eligibility. Not a quote.
    When to call someone

    A rate bake-off is a once-a-year win you can run yourself. The thing that quietly costs you the rest of the year, downtime when the grid wobbles, no real backups, an IT setup that breaks the moment you grow, is what Modo Networks handles so you can spend your attention on levers like this one.
