How to switch in Carrollton

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 Oncor.

Oncor 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 Old Downtown Carrollton and Trinity Mills to Josey Ranch and Hebron, so a smart comparison starts with your address, not a single "Carrollton average."

Who delivers your power in Carrollton

Carrollton sits in the northern Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, where Oncor is the regulated Transmission and Distribution Utility (TDU). They own the poles, wires, and meters, restore outages, and set the delivery charges that are the same for every retail provider.

  • Report an outage: Oncor at (888) 313-4747 — not your retail provider.
  • Your Ambit plan only sets your price, term, and rewards.
  • Switching never interrupts your power or changes who fixes outages.

What this means for Carrollton homes

Carrollton spreads across parts of Dallas, Denton, and Collin counties, and every one of those neighborhoods runs on the Oncor grid. Whichever retail plan you choose, Oncor still delivers the power and restores outages, so you are free to pick Ambit purely on price and rewards.

About Carrollton

Carrollton is a thriving suburb of roughly 135,000 residents just north of Dallas, sitting across parts of Dallas, Denton, and Collin counties in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. It ranks among the most populous cities in Texas, and its workforce skews heavily toward technology, telecom, healthcare, and insurance, with large regional offices for employers like AT&T and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas nearby.

The heart of the city is Old Downtown Carrollton, a walkable historic square along Broadway Street with City Hall, the public library, a farmers market, and a mix of local shops and restaurants. To the north, Trinity Mills anchors a busy commercial and transit corridor, while the master-planned Josey Ranch community fills out the southern side of town down near Interstate 35E. Newer growth in the Hebron and Valley Ranch areas rounds out a city that blends established neighborhoods with steady suburban expansion.

In a deregulated electricity market like Carrollton's, retail choice lets homeowners shop the open market for their own plan instead of taking whatever a single utility offers. Oncor delivers the power to every address in town, so the decision that is actually yours to make is which retail plan you put on top of it.
