FAQ · 77028

Common questions

Who is my electric utility in ZIP 77028?

CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric is the TDU that delivers electricity and restores outages in 77028 (Trinity Gardens, Houston Gardens). 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 77028?

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 77028?

Use the PUC’s Power to Choose site or WattKarma’s ZIP landing page (https://wattkarma.com/zip/77028). 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 77028?

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 77028?

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 77028.
