Frequently Asked Questions

How does Texas electricity billing work?
In Texas's deregulated ERCOT market, your bill includes energy charges from your Retail Electric Provider (REP) and delivery charges from your Transmission and Distribution Utility (TDU) like Oncor or CenterPoint. Both components need to be verified independently.
Does Utility Check support Texas electricity bills?
Yes. Utility Check supports bills from all major Texas TDUs (Oncor, CenterPoint, AEP Texas, TNMP) and the REPs that serve them. We verify energy charges against your plan's Electricity Facts Label (EFL) and delivery charges against published TDU rates.
What billing errors are common on Texas electricity bills?
Common issues include expired promotional rates, minimum usage charges, TDU delivery fees that don't match published rates, and energy charges that differ from the EFL. Utility Check checks for all of these and flags any discrepancies.
How can I verify my Texas electricity bill?
Upload your Texas bill to Utility Check. We recalculate your energy charges against your plan's rate, verify TDU delivery charges, check for expired promotions, and flag any discrepancies. If everything checks out, you get confirmation and peace of mind.
