For information about the types of Frontier Utilities plans available in your area, enter your ZIP code above or call the number on your screen.
Frontier doesn’t currently offer no-deposit or prepaid plans, but you may be able to have your deposit waived based on your credit score or a number of other factors. Call the number on your screen to find out more.
Most Frontier Utilities plans include 15% green energy in the mix, more than the state-mandated 6%. This energy is powered by solar and wind farms. For these plans, the company purchases renewable energy credits to offset your usage. To find the exact amount of renewable energy your plan includes, view the Electricity Facts Label (EFL).
If you are moving to a new home, you can easily transfer your Frontier Utilities plan so that it moves with you. Simply contact Frontier Utilities to let the company know about your upcoming move. Most Texas homes have smart meters installed, so transferring service should not require a technician visit.
Moving into a new home also means you could switch to a different Frontier Utilities plan or switch to a new provider. While fixed-rate plans have early termination fees, you can bypass those fees if you move to a new address and need to end your contract early. Enter your new ZIP code above to check current rates in your area.
If you rent a house or apartment, you can still find a plan that fits your needs. Frontier Utilities offers both fixed-rate and variable-rate plans, meaning you can choose a month-to-month option if it makes more sense for your situation. The good news is that it’s easy to transfer your energy service when you move. So even if your current living situation is temporary, you can bring your energy plan with you to your next home.
Most providers require an early termination fee for their fixed-rate plans when you end your service before the end of your contract. The amount you’ll pay depends on your provider and the length of your energy plan. Frontier Utilities charges an early termination fee of $150.
Frontier Utilities offers a happiness guarantee that allows you to back out of your plan within 60 days of the activation date without paying an early termination fee.
Frontier Utilities also offers energy services for small and large businesses in deregulated areas. The company provides customized business energy plans based on size, industry, and energy needs.
Frontier Utilities customers who are in the CenterPoint Energy or Texas-New Mexico Power regions may be able to receive a complimentary CoolSaver A/C Tune-up.
Frontier Utilities takes an active role in the community. Among the organizations the company has worked with are Habitat for Humanity; Workshop Houston, which provides youth with creative, technical, and educational resources; Kicks 4 Kids, which provides underprivileged children with tickets to Houston Dynamo or Houston Dash soccer games; Susan G. Komen for the Cure; Boy Scouts of America; and the Hermann Park Conservancy.
On the Choose Energy marketplace, Frontier Utilities plans have a term of 12 months. The plans include fixed-rates, so your rate is the same over your entire contract, though there may be longer terms and variable-rate plans available. All Frontier Utilities plans on the Choose Energy marketplace are powered by 15% renewable energy sources. Enter your ZIP code for an updated list of Frontier Utilities plans in your area.

Using these criteria, Choose Energy assigns impartial reviews to top electricity providers in Texas. To learn more about electric provider reviews, see our full list here.
Frontier’s score was hurt by a low P2C complaint score. The P2C score is pulled from the Public Utility Commission of Texas’ most recent scorecard, found here.
The online accessibility category was ranked on a yes or no basis for all three criteria. Frontier offers online bill pay and usage alerts, but missed the mark on online chat, averaging out its overall online accessibility score.
Frontier has been in business for over ten years, landing it a top score of 5 in that area. It is also BBB accredited, with an A+ score. The BBB is a paid accreditation, but we have included it in this ranking as a measure of brand awareness and public image.
