FAQ · 77021
Common questions
Who is my electric utility in ZIP 77021?
CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric is the TDU that delivers electricity and restores outages in 77021 (Greater OST / South Union, MacGregor). Because Texas has retail choice here, you pick a Retail Electric Provider (REP) for the energy plan and monthly bill. Compare offers at PowerToChoose.org or WattKarma’s ZIP page, then enroll with the REP.
Who do I call when the power goes out in 77021?
Call CenterPoint Energy at 713-207-2222 or 800-332-7143, or report/track outages via CenterPoint’s Outage Tracker (centerpointenergy.com/OutageTracker). Your REP does not restore wires or poles. For a downed power line, stay far away and call 911 and CenterPoint.
How do I compare electricity plans for 77021?
Use the PUC’s Power to Choose site or WattKarma’s ZIP landing page (https://wattkarma.com/zip/77021). Compare Electricity Facts Labels at your expected kWh usage; watch for bill credits and contract length. Switching REPs does not change CenterPoint as your wires company.
How do I start water service when I move into 77021?
If your address is on City of Houston Houston Water, start or transfer service online through Houston Water Bills / Utility Billing, or call 713-371-1400 (Mon–Fri 8 a.m.–7 p.m.). Confirm you are not in a MUD or adjacent city before applying. Report many field issues through Houston 311.
Is electricity competitive in 77021?
Yes. Delivery (wires, outages, delivery charges) is regulated through CenterPoint as TDU. Energy supply is competitive—you choose among licensed REPs in the CenterPoint (CNP) zone that includes 77021.
Who provides natural gas in 77021, and what if I smell gas?
CenterPoint Energy distributes natural gas for typical Houston-area addresses in this ZIP. Start service via CenterPoint My Account or 713-659-2111 / 800-752-8036. If you suspect a leak: leave immediately, avoid sparks, then call 911 and CenterPoint’s leak hotline at 713-659-2111 or 888-876-5786 from a safe place.
Which internet providers serve 77021?
Common options marketed in Greater Houston include AT&T Fiber, Xfinity, and Spectrum, but availability in Greater OST / South Union/MacGregor is address-specific. Use each provider’s availability checker with your full street address before ordering. This packet does not guarantee service at every unit.

For addresses on City of Houston Solid Waste routes, request a 96-gallon garbage cart by calling 311 (or 713-837-0311) or submitting a 311 service request. Some apartments/condos use private haulers instead of city carts.
