Houston Apartment Locators: Utility Providers



As your trusted Houston Apartment Locators, we at Pathfinder provide more than just apartment locating services. We aim to assist you throughout your apartment hunting journey and settling in. Understanding the utility providers and services associated with apartments in Houston is an integral part of this process.

Unfortunately, while budgeting for your new apartment, you may come across various fees and expenses. These fees often include utilities such as water, sewer, gas, electric, trash, and recycling. In addition, modern amenities like cable TV, internet, and phone service can also be considered utilities.

However, there are ways to avoid this. Below, we have listed various electricity and phone/cable/internet providers for you to consider.

Electricity

Occasionally, certain Houston apartment property owners include basic utilities such as electricity and water in their lease provisions, advertised as “paid utilities”. However, if the apartment of your choice does not include such provisions, there are several reputable providers you can contact directly:

  • TXU: 877-241-2532
  • Reliant Energy: 855-565-2161
  • First Choice: 855-534-3881
  • Choosetexaspower.org (no deposit): 1-877-881-7488

Phone/Cable/Internet

Understanding that technology is an essential part of modern life, many apartment complexes include or offer various technology subscriptions. These may include cable TV, high-speed internet, and phone service. If these are not included in your lease, here are some of the providers you can contact:

  • Xfinity/Comcast: 1-800-934-6489
  • Direct TV: 1-877-707-1025
  • AT&T: 1-833-681-2796

At Pathfinder, we aim to provide you with comprehensive information that eases your transition into your new apartment. Our agents have the knowledge and expertise to help you find your new apartment home.
