    Switching at the same address

    1. Check your current contract end date and any early termination fee.
    2. Use a recent bill to find your monthly usage. Compare each plan’s average price at the same usage level on its Electricity Facts Label. Check for fees and what it takes to qualify for any bill credits.
    3. Enroll with Ambit Energy and review your switch date. Ambit will handle the switch for you, so don’t ask your current provider to disconnect your service.

    Moving into a Victoria apartment?

    Ask your leasing office before move-in:

    • Which utilities are included?
    • Do I need my own electricity account?
    • Do I need proof of electricity before key pickup?

    A building guide doesn't confirm Ambit eligibility. Check your lease and exact service address before enrolling.

    Move-in checklist

    Get your utilities set up before move-in day.

    01 · Electricity

    If you need to set up your own electricity account, we recommend Ambit Energy.

    02 · Water, sewer & trash

    Ask whether these are included in your lease; if you need a City of Victoria account, review the official new-service requirements and contact Utility Billing at (361) 485-3400 to confirm the arrangements for your address.

    03 · Gas, if applicable

    Ask your landlord or seller whether the home uses gas and which provider serves the address before arranging an account.

    04 · Internet

    Check availability for your exact address and unit, then confirm the installation date with your chosen provider. Check AT&T Fiber availability.

    05 · Renters insurance

    Check the coverage and effective date required by your lease, then arrange a policy before key pickup. Get a renters insurance quote.

    Victoria electricity FAQ

    When can electricity start at my new Victoria address?

    Same-day electricity service is available for eligible Victoria addresses. Check the start dates Ambit offers for your exact address and review your enrollment confirmation. Activation depends on address eligibility, meter status, and utility processing.

    Will my power go out if I switch electricity providers in Victoria?

    No. Switching electricity providers at the same address does not interrupt active service. Your local utility still delivers your electricity and handles outages. If you’re moving, check the available start dates for your new address instead.

    Do I need to cancel with my old electricity provider before switching?

    No. If you’re switching to Ambit Energy at the same address, Ambit handles the switch for you. Don’t ask your current provider to cancel or disconnect your service.

    How do I transfer my existing Ambit service?

    Select Transfer My Ambit Service above or call Ambit Customer Care at (877) 282-6248. Have your account details and new address ready so Customer Care can check service availability and help arrange the transfer.

    How do I compare plans at my usage?

    Use past monthly kWh from your bills if you have them. Review the Electricity Facts Label’s average prices at the listed usage levels, pricing components, contract term and cancellation terms. Your average price depends on actual usage; do not assume a citywide usage range.
