Round Rock Housing & Heating Facts

Local housing and heating composition based on city profile inputs.

Median Year Built

2002

  • Located just north of Austin, Round Rock has a mixed energy profile. Houses make up most of the housing stock, but apartments still represent a meaningful share of the city. Heating is also split almost evenly between gas and electricity, which means your winter bill can vary a lot depending on your housing type and heating setup.
  • In most cases, summer air conditioning will still be the main driver of your electric bill. But winter can also bring noticeable increases in usage, especially if you live in an apartment or in a home with electric heating. Use the table below to compare estimated costs based on your housing and heating situation.

The Risk of Chasing the Cheapest Plans in Round Rock

here are two common risks when shopping for electricity in Round Rock.

1. Chasing the absolute cheapest rate online
This is one of the biggest mistakes shoppers make. In many cases, the cheapest rate you find on other websites, Google AI summaries, or ChatGPT may lead you to a bill credit plan.
That is a problem because bill credit plans are some of the most misleading plans in the Texas deregulated market. They can look very cheap at first, but if your monthly usage does not fall within the right range, your bill can end up much higher than expected. In some cases, people overpay by hundreds of dollars over the life of the contract, especially if they live in a small apartment or have lower usage.
That is why this page does not include gimmick plans.

2. Chasing the cheapest true fixed plan
Even when you focus only on true fixed plans, there is still another risk. On Power to Choose and on this page, we show the cheapest true fixed plans for transparency. However, some of the companies offering those lowest rates may come with billing, communication, and customer service problems. For example, they may later sell your contract to another company, communication may be poor, billing may become confusing, or customer support may be weak.

Sometimes the lowest-priced companies are able to offer those rates because they cut costs in other areas, and that can affect the overall customer experience.

For the sake of transparency, we still show those plans. But we also highlight competitive options from partner companies that have a stronger track record for service and reliability.
In many cases, the difference between the absolute cheapest plan and a stronger, more dependable company is not very large. It may be only a few dollars per month, and for many shoppers, that small extra cost is worth it for better service and fewer headaches.

Origin of the Plans on This List in Round Rock

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 Round Rock.
