Living in Houston: Where many communities create one city

Houston and its surrounding area form the largest city in Texas, supporting diverse neighborhoods, industries and ways of life. As people continue to move to Houston, life can look different depending on where you live. From major cultural institutions like the Museum of Fine Arts and the Alley Theatre to seasonal traditions such as the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, Houston offers year-round opportunities to connect through arts, sports and community events. The city is also home to the University of Houston, which contributes to Houston’s academic presence and its steady influx of students, researchers and professionals. Dining, entertainment and cultural experiences reflect Houston’s global influences, shaped by one of the most diverse populations in the country. Spanning hundreds of square miles, Houston is a city defined as much by its people and neighborhoods as by its skyline.

Your monthly bill will reflect your highest 2 days of usage per full week (Sunday through Saturday), up to 8 days per monthly billing period, at no charge for every billing period of 28 days or more. A week is defined as Sunday to Saturday, and a day is defined as a 24-hour period beginning at midnight through 11:59 p.m. For each monthly billing period less than 28 days, please see EFL for details. Your average price calculation will be based on your total monthly usage. Valid for new residential customers only. Reliant reserves the right to discontinue this offer without notice.

With this product, you are eligible to receive 3 bill credits, each of which must be utilized in a separate billing period during your term. You can apply bill credits within your online account, the Reliant app or by contacting Reliant’s customer care team. Only one credit can be applied to any outstanding bill amount. Customers on AutoPay must redeem a bill credit at least 24 hours before the bill due date. Any unredeemed bill credits will automatically be applied during the last available bills of a customer’s term. Unused bill credits will not transfer if you switch away from the Flextra Credits plan and are not redeemable for cash.

  • Compare rate structures: Check if plans have fixed rates for predictable billing or variable rates that can fluctuate
  • Evaluate contract lengths: If you rent or may move soon, a shorter contract offers more flexibility
  • Check customer service ratings: Read reviews to see how well a provider resolves issues
  • Look for valuable perks: Compare extras like free nights or free weekends to find a plan that fits your usage habits
  • Shop your current provider: When renewing, consider negotiating with your current electricity provider for a better rate or special deal
