Switching is easier than you think

Three reasons Texans put off switching, and how Ambit removes each one.

We help cover your cancellation fee

Switch to a featured fixed-rate plan with a 12-month or longer term and Ambit reimburses your old provider's early-termination fee as a bill credit, up to $250. Conditions apply.

You may qualify for no deposit

Based on a quick credit check, many Texas homes start service with no deposit. Flexible and split-deposit options and same-day start are available.

Your power never goes out

Switching only changes who bills you. Ambit handles the switch on the back end and your local utility keeps delivering power with no interruption.

Cancellation-fee reimbursement is a current Ambit promotion; some providers are excluded and conditions apply, so confirm current terms at enrollment. See switching details →

How to switch in Texas

Four simple steps

  • Enter your ZIP — see the Ambit plans available at your address.
  • Compare the real rate — the price at the usage level your home actually runs.
  • Enroll online — pick a plan and sign up in a few minutes, no call required.
  • You are done — Ambit handles the switch with your provider. Your lights never go out, and there is no need to contact your local utility.

Your local utility still owns the poles, wires, and meters and restores outages no matter which plan you pick. Your retail plan only sets your price, term, and billing.

What to compare on every plan

  • Price at 500 / 1,000 / 2,000 kWh — matched to your home size.
  • Minimum-usage fees — charges if you use too little.
  • Bill credits — the usage level where they kick in.
  • Term & early-termination fee — what leaving early costs.
  • Renewable content — the green percentage, if it matters to you.

Pricing varies by ZIP and usage from Houston and Dallas to Corpus Christi and the Permian Basin, so a smart comparison starts with your address, not a single "Texas average."

Texas electricity questions

Will my lights go out when I switch providers?

No. Your local utility keeps delivering power without interruption while your new plan simply begins billing.

What is a Transmission and Distribution Utility (TDU)?

A Transmission and Distribution Utility (TDU) owns the poles, wires, and meters in your area and restores outages no matter which retail plan you pick. Your retail provider only sets your price, term, and billing.

How do I compare rates by ZIP code?

Enter your ZIP to see the plans available at your address. Rates and availability vary by ZIP and by how much electricity your home uses.

Is there any cost to compare or to get help?

No. Comparing plans and getting help from Energy Direct is free. You enroll directly in the plan you choose.
