What is electricity deregulation in Texas?

In the past, one company provided all parts of your energy service (generation, transmission and distribution, and retail sales), meaning no choice and no competition. With deregulation, these parts are separated into different companies, so you can now choose the retail energy provider that best meets your needs.

Is a deposit required to start electric service?

In Texas, some customers are required to pay a deposit to complete enrollment. Ambit runs a soft credit inquiry to determine if a deposit is needed. If required, you can pay the entire amount at enrollment, pay in two installments, or pay the entire amount within 30 days of your order.

How long does it take to switch my service to Ambit Energy?

For Texas customers, once you have completed enrollment, the process to switch to Ambit Energy is usually finalized within one to seven business days, depending on whether your meter can be controlled remotely or a technician needs to be dispatched.

Can I have Ambit Energy service in my apartment?

That depends on your apartment complex. Ask your leasing office for details on your energy options.

What happens if I move to a different Texas city?

You can move your Ambit Energy service to your new address. Simply call Customer Care to update your address and transfer your service. If you are moving out of the service area, they can check if Ambit provides energy to your new address.
