What if I'm under contract with my current provider?

We can still help! We'll review your situation and discuss timing. Sometimes waiting makes sense; other times, switching may still be beneficial depending on early termination fees.

Will my power go out during the switch?

No. Your local utility company continues delivering electricity regardless of which REP you choose. The switch is purely administrative.

Do I need to contact my old provider?

No. When you enroll with Ambit Energy, they handle the transition notification to your previous provider automatically.

How long does the switching process take?

Enrollment takes about 10 minutes. The actual service transition typically happens within 1-2 billing cycles (usually around your next meter read date).

What should I do before I switch to Ambit Energy?

Review your current contract for any early termination fees, check your contract end date if applicable, and have a recent bill available for account information. Individual results vary; savings are not guaranteed.
