-
Sign Up
Enroll online or by phone. You’ll need your service address, preferred start date, and a government ID. Your new provider files a switch request with ERCOT and CenterPoint, and service transfers on your next meter-read date — typically 1–3 business days. No one visits your home and the lights stay on the entire time.
Moving to Humble?
Schedule your electricity at least 5 business days before your move-in date to ensure power is on when you arrive — especially important during the hot summer months. Many providers offer same-day or next-day activation for an additional fee if you’re in a time crunch.
Humble Solar
Humble gets about 5.2 peak sun hours per day. At the local average rate of 12.8¢/kWh, here's what a typical 7 kW rooftop system looks like.
Texas context: 122,184 homes in the state have already installed rooftop solar (875 MW of residential capacity).
Estimate assumes a 7 kW system at $2.75/watt, an 80% performance ratio, and the 30% federal tax credit. Over 25 years the system would net roughly $20,400 after its net cost. Run your exact address →
