Mission Housing & Heating Facts

Local housing and heating composition based on city profile inputs.

Median Year Built

2000

  • Mission is hot and humid for much of the year, and that humidity matters for your electric bill. The muggy season lasts about 8 months, from roughly mid-March to mid-November, and around late June the chance of a muggy day reaches about 97%. That means your A/C is working not only to cool the house, but also to remove moisture from the air, which raises summer electricity use. 
  • Mission is also one of those South Texas cities where electric heating dominates, even though winters are milder than in North Texas. Summer is still the main driver of your bill, but winter usage can stay more elevated than many people expect because so many homes rely on electricity for heating. The table below helps show how your estimated bill can change based on your housing type and heating setup.

Best Time of the Year to Shop for Electricity in Mission

In Mission, the best time to shop for electricity is usually during the spring and fall. Those months often have lower demand, which can lead to better rates. Still, this is not a hard rule. Prices can change based on local weather, fuel markets, grid conditions, and broader supply and demand trends.

Another thing to watch is contract length. In the past, shoppers mostly saw 12, 24, or 36-month plans. Now it is common to see terms like 9, 13, 18, or 20 months. That matters because the length of your contract affects when you will have to shop again, and renewing during a high-price season can cost more.

If you want to be more careful, try to choose a plan that keeps your renewal date away from the hottest summer months or the most volatile winter periods. For example, if one contract would make you renew in August and another would make you renew in May, the May renewal may put you in a better shopping window. Sources that track Texas electricity shopping patterns consistently point to spring and fall as the more favorable seasons, while summer and deep winter tend to be riskier.

Weather also matters. Major heat waves and winter storms can put pressure on the market and increase price volatility, so it is usually better not to wait until right before a major weather event to lock in a plan. You can also direct readers to your historical Texas electricity rates page to show how prices move over time.

Origin of the Plans on This List in Mission

Clear Energy Facts collects plan information in three ways:

1. Provider Websites
If a plan has the tag “Company Website”, it means the plan was found directly on the provider’s own website. You can access these plans through our link, or you can go directly to the company’s website yourself.
One important note: try not to use the sponsored links that appear on Google when shopping for electricity. Some providers show different rates depending on how you reached their site, including promo links, special landing pages, or paid ads.
For more information, see this article: Texas Electricity Promo Codes and Secret URLs

 
2. Power to Choose (PTC)
If a plan has the tag “PTC”, it means the plan is listed on Power to Choose, the official Texas electricity shopping website.
Even though you can access these plans directly on Power to Choose, we recommend using our link because we review, filter, and categorize them first. Many plans on Power to Choose are not truly fixed-rate plans, even if they may look attractive at first.
So if we tag a plan on this page as a fixed-rate plan, it means we have already reviewed it and confirmed that it is not a time-of-use plan, a bill credit plan, or another gimmick plan type.

3. Exclusive Plans
If a plan has the tag “Exclusive”, it means Clear Energy Facts has a direct partnership with the provider and can offer a competitive rate that may not be widely available on other shopping platforms.
These plans are still reviewed the same way as the others, and when we include them on our list, it is because we believe they are competitive options for shoppers in Mission.
