## Questions
**Is Everman deregulated for electricity?** Yes, where Oncor's wires reach the house, which in Everman is most of the city: 2,032 homes with an Everman mailing address were on the competitive market on October 5, 2026, 0.96 for each Census household. No Everman ZIP code carries a split flag, but only an address lookup is certain.
**Where do most Everman electricity customers live?** 76140. It holds 2,031 Everman-addressed competitive homes; counting every address in the ZIP, ERCOT has 12,577 meters for roughly 9,921 households, a 1.27 ratio.
**What do Everman electricity plans cost per kWh?** On October 19, 2026, the median fixed-rate Power to Choose listing on Oncor's wires was 13.4¢ per kWh at 1,000 kWh a month (170 listings); Oncor's delivery charge of 6.8673¢ per kWh plus $4.06 a month is included. A median is not a quote.

**Why does my Everman home have a Fort Worth address?** 76140 covers part of Everman, but the Postal Service names most of it Fort Worth: that postal city is on 63 percent of the ZIP's 12,577 competitive home meters, Everman on 16 percent. Your mailing city is not your city limits; the service address decides the utility.
**Who do I call in Everman when the power goes out?** Call Oncor (oncor.com/outages), the wires utility for Everman's 2,032 competitive homes; a retail provider can't fix lines.
