The Ambit Energy heritage

Energy Direct represents Ambit Energy, a Texas-born retail electricity provider with a deep track record.

Founded in Texas, in 2006

Ambit Energy was founded in 2006 in Addison, Texas by Jere Thompson Jr. and Chris Chambless. The two co-founders famously met at a sandwich shop and set out with a single stated mission: to be "the finest and most-respected retail energy provider in America."

That Texas root matters. Ambit was built around the Texas deregulated market, where you, the homeowner, get to choose your own retail electricity provider.

A proven national track record

  • Inc. Magazine's 2010 Fastest-Growing Privately Held Company.
  • About $1 billion in annual revenue by 2013.
  • Serves customers nationwide through a network of independent consultants.

Those independent consultants are the local face of the company. That is exactly where Energy Direct comes in.

Who Energy Direct is

Energy Direct is an independent, local Ambit Energy consultant, a real person who helps Texas homeowners compare plans by ZIP, choose, and switch.

A local person, not a call center

When you reach out to Energy Direct, you talk to a local consultant who knows the Texas market and serves as your personal point of contact. We walk you through your options, answer your questions, and help you pick a plan that fits your home, without the runaround of a national 1-800 line.

Comparing plans and getting help is free. You enroll directly in the plan you choose.

Honest about who does what

We believe in being clear about the division of service, so there are no surprises after you switch:

  • Energy Direct helps you compare, choose, and switch, and answers your questions along the way.
  • Ambit Energy handles your official billing, your account, and customer care once you are enrolled.
  • Your local TDU (the utility that owns the poles and wires) handles power delivery and any outages.

We are your local guide and point of contact, not the billing or support desk. That is Ambit's job, and they are good at it.

Why work with a local Ambit consultant

What you actually get when a real local person guides your switch.

You choose, we guide

Texas lets you pick your retail provider. We help you compare the plans available at your ZIP so the choice is informed, not guesswork.

One personal point of contact

You get a name and a local number, the same person every time, instead of a different agent on every call.

Switching is simple

Your power is never interrupted. Your local utility keeps delivering electricity while your new plan begins billing.
