The Houston providers in our records

This comes from the Houston addresses we have actually worked with, which is why it names one likely answer per utility rather than every company in the metro. The final answer depends on your address.

Delivery only. You choose the plan
territory, not a share
Natural gas CenterPoint Energy 99% of 5,078
Water Houston Public Works 81% of 5,280

Based on 5,227 real Houston addresses we hold provider records for, spanning 106 ZIP codes and current to 2026-07-22. Any single address can differ. How we verify this.

Why it works this way

Houston splits electricity into two bills

Houston separates the wires from the energy. CenterPoint Energy owns the wires side by territory, so no amount of shopping changes it. The energy side is a contract you choose, and the two usually arrive as one bill, which is why so many people assume there is only one company.

Broadband

The networks that reach Houston

Internet works differently from everything above it on this page. Houston addresses usually have a choice, and our records cover 5,181 of them across 31 networks. The figures overlap because availability is not exclusive.

NetworkAppears atType
Xfinity 94% of locations not stated
AT&T Fiber 70% of locations fiber
Ezee Fiber 6% of locations fiber
Spectrum 3% of locations not stated
AT&T Air 2% of locations fixed wireless
AT&T Copper 1% of locations DSL
Optimum 1% of locations not stated
Hughesnet Satellite 1% of locations satellite

70% of the Houston locations in our records show AT&T Fiber fiber. Where it stops says more about the build map than about the neighborhood.

Based on 5,181 Houston locations in our records, not a guarantee for any single home. We name a technology only when the network itself does.

Houston utility questions, answered

Who is the electric company in Houston?

CenterPoint Energy delivers electricity to Houston addresses and is who you call when the power is out. It is not who bills you for the energy: Houston is a retail-choice market, so the plan is a separate account, and that supplier's name is the one on your bill.

Can I choose my electricity provider in Houston?

Only the supplier. CenterPoint Energy delivers to your Houston address regardless of who you buy from, and that part is not open to competition.

Does every Houston home have natural gas?

No. CenterPoint Energy is the gas utility at 99% of the Houston addresses on file, but plenty of homes here are all-electric and never open a gas account. The lookup tells you whether yours has a gas provider before you spend time arranging one.

Who provides water in Houston?

Houston Public Works at 81% of the Houston addresses on file. Water is the most local of the four utilities, and districts change at boundaries that rarely match the city line.

What internet providers are available in Houston?

In our records for 5,181 Houston locations, Xfinity appears at 94%, AT&T Fiber appears at 70%, Ezee Fiber appears at 6%. Most addresses have more than one option available, which is why those figures add up to more than 100.

How do I set up utilities at a Houston address?

The address is enough. We forward your details to the companies serving that part of Houston, Houston Public Works among them, and the accounts they open are yours, held with them.

What happens after the lookup

Enter your address and we pass your details to the providers that serve it, so you are not filling in the same name, move-in date and phone number on four different websites. Each provider opens the account on their own terms and timeline, and the account is yours with them.
