Tips for best electricity plans
When it comes to finding the best electricity plans near you, Choose Energy can help you discover energy companies in your area — all in one place.
A few things to remember
Look at your plan closely. Read through the Electricity Facts Label (EFL) for every plan you’re considering before you decide on a plan, keeping the following in mind:
- The electricity rate per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity
- How much energy is from renewable sources
- Any early termination fees that may apply
Sit back for the setup process. After choosing a plan, Ambit Energy will coordinate with your local utility company to set up your new service. This step should be a smooth experience with no interruptions.
Know how to read an electricity bill. When you receive your first bill with your new provider, you’ll see two different charges. One charge is from Ambit Energy based on how much electricity you’ve used, and the other is a delivery charge from your utility company. Keep in mind that your utility company is location-based in a deregulated area. The utility will restore power during an outage — not your electricity provider.
How shopping for electricity works
In most parts of Texas, you have the power to choose your electric provider for your home or business. But with many choices, this can quickly become a daunting challenge. Fortunately, the Choose Energy marketplace provides free services for shopping and comparing plans.
After entering your ZIP code, you’ll see energy providers and electric plans near you. Depending on what you’re looking for in a plan, you can filter by provider, contract length, plan type, percentage of green energy, and more. When you’ve decided on a plan, we can help you sign up in a matter of minutes.
Tips to lower your electricity bill
The most effective way to lower your energy bills is to decrease how much energy you use in your home or business. You can try switching to energy-efficient appliances and LED bulbs, insulating windows and doors, and cutting down on your energy usage. You can also switch to a cheaper energy plan, if possible.
