About Cypress

What you're shopping for power in.

Cypress is an unincorporated Harris County community northwest of Houston along US-290, dominated by Cy-Fair ISD (one of the largest school districts in Texas) and a string of master-planned communities. Growth has been explosive since 2000.

Climate & bill pattern

Houston climate — long humid summers, AC-dominant bills from May through October.

Heavy concentration of 2,400-3,200 sq ft new-construction homes with central HVAC — fixed-rate 24+ month plans dominate here because bills are predictable and large.
