If you live in Texas, you know the drill. You open your mailbox (or your email inbox) in mid-August, spot the electricity bill, and feel your heart rate spike before you even see the number. Between the blistering heat of a Dallas summer, the humid blanket covering Houston, or the unpredictable snaps of cold in the Hill Country, energy consumption in the Lone Star State is a constant battle for your wallet.

If you live in Texas, you are conditioned to fear August. We spend our springs dreading the triple-digit heat waves and our autumns celebrating the first day the temperature drops below 80 degrees. Because of this, the vast majority of Texas homeowners focus their energy efficiency efforts strictly on air conditioning.

Electricity bills in Texas spike every summer — Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, etc. PowerAlert helps you avoid bill shock by tracking your real usage in real time, not estimates. Just connect your provider account, set a monthly budget, and we’ll send alerts as you get close — so you can take control before it’s too late.
