Start with the typical home in McAllen. Then tell us how yours is different.
We've modeled how the typical McAllen home uses electricity month-by-month. Adjust the spec to match yours and we'll re-rank plans against your actual shape — not a generic 1,000 kWh.
The "best plan" depends on your year — not a fixed number.
Texas regulators require providers to publish rates at 500, 1,000, and 2,000 kWh. So that's how every comparison site ranks plans — at one of those three numbers.
A McAllen home moves from ~991.3 kWh in Jan to ~2,532.3 kWh in Aug. Plans that look cheap at 1,000 — bill-credit plans, tiered plans, free-nights plans — can flip to the most expensive option in your home's actual year.
