About Richland Hills

What you're shopping for power in.

Richland Hills is a small city of about 8,000 in northeast Tarrant County, surrounded by North Richland Hills and Fort Worth — established as a working-class suburb in the 1950s-60s, now a quiet residential pocket inside the DFW metroplex.

Climate & bill pattern

Standard DFW climate — long hot summers, spring severe-thunderstorm exposure.

Mostly 1,300-1,600 sq ft 1950s-60s homes; weaker envelopes drive higher AC cost per square foot than newer suburbs.
