Are you ready to save hundreds on your electricity bill?

If you enjoy playing video games, it’s tempting to try every game on the market – or at least, as many as your wallet will allow. However, no two games are the same, and they all prioritize different things. For example, the game with awesome graphics that has taken the streaming world by storm is $60, but another game with a critically acclaimed storyline and soundtrack costs $45. Which one will you get more use out of? Which is the best deal for the price?

As you begin to survey your options, you feel overwhelmed and wonder if you should just play Animal Crossing instead to wind down. After all, at least that way your only buyer’s remorse will be when Tom Nook convinces you to get yet another mortgage or gadget at the town store.

Choosing an electricity rate can feel the same way. You’re left browsing endless options and viewing hundreds of ads as everyone tries to lure you in, to the point that last month’s jaw-droppingly high electric bill doesn’t seem so bad.

What is Ambit Energy?

Ambit Energy provides electricity to deregulated energy markets within the United States. It relies on independent consultants to market its services through direct sales.

Ambit Energy advertises several different energy plans with affordable rates available to customers in Texas.

We discuss energy plans, electricity rates, and how to find the best ones in a later section.

What Makes Ambit Energy Different From all the Other REPs?

How, or rather who sells electricity at Ambit Energy is one major difference between Ambit and other retail electric providers (REP) in Texas.

Traditionally electricity is purchased from a power generator (power plant), by a REP. The REP then sells electricity to customers.

In the case of Ambit Energy, they are a REP, meaning they still purchase energy, but unlike other REPs, they have independent consultants who directly sell electricity to customers.

Think Mary Kay, but instead of make-up and skincare, Ambit Energy IC sells electricity.

Ambit Energy offers services in other deregulated states in America as well as Japan and Canada.

How To Find The Best Electricity Plan In Texas

You want the best for your family. The best schools, the best food options, the best cleaning supplies, the best of everything, including the best electricity plan.

But how do you know which electricity plan is the best?

As individuals, we have individual options for what is the best school, food, cleaning supplies, and even electricity.

So, how can you find the best electricity plan in Texas?

×

Consider these questions:

• What is your average energy usage?
• Do you use more energy during the day, evening, or weekend?
• Do you need electricity for your home or business, or both?
• What is the size and age of your home?

You must consider all of these factors in order to find the best electricity plan for your individualized energy needs.

These answers are highly individualized — your energy needs will be different than those of your neighbor, brother, or best friend.

So how will you know if Ambit Energy has the best energy plan for you?

The truth is: you don’t know

It is nearly impossible to compare Ambit Energy plans with each plan offered by every REP that services your area of Texas.

Hope is not lost, you can have the best electricity plan for your individualized needs with the help of Power Wizard.

Power Wizard’s proprietary technology searches and compares 100’s of electricity plans in a matter of seconds to find you the best plan for your home.

How To Switch Electric Companies In Texas?

You want to switch electric companies or are considering switching — that is why you are reading this blog right?!

You may be thinking about switching to Ambit Energy but not sure how to do it.

The first question you should ask yourself is “Will Ambit Energy be the best option for my electricity?”

We have already discussed how to find the best electricity plan, but now it’s time for the next step.

Once you have found the best electricity plan for your individualized needs it is time to switch electricity companies.

To switch electric companies you will need to:

1. Call the new electricity company.
2. Press numbers to get a live person. (Why can’t someone just answer?)
3. Finally, get a live person, explain you want to switch plans.
4. Listen to them explain every single electricity plan and rate they offer.
5. Forget which plan you originally picked out before calling.
6. Get all the plans confused — which one offers the lowest rate or the longest contract term?
7. Hastily select whichever plan the operator suggests just to end the call.

You didn’t get the best electricity plan, you didn’t get the electricity plan you wanted and now you won’t know what you signed up for until you get your first bill.

Hopefully, it won’t be too expensive.

Now that you have whichever electricity plan you signed up for you will need to cancel your current plan. But how can you do that?

How to cancel Ambit Energy (or any other REP):

1. Call your current REP.
2. Press the numbers and sit on hold (sound familiar?).
3. Listen to the operator try to convince you not to terminate your service.
4. Explain that you want to terminate your electricity service, then explain why you want to terminate your electricity service.
5. Finally, the operator says they will cancel your electricity service — and hits you with the cancellation fee or early termination fee.

Switching electricity plans in Texas on your own takes patience, patience, and more patience. But there is another way.

Not only does Power Wizard find the best electricity plan for you — we handle the sign-up process and seamlessly transition you from your old plan into your new one.

Ambit Energy Plans

We have discussed how to find the best electricity plan for your individualized needs and how to switch your electric plan but now you are wondering just how many different energy plans are available?

In Texas, there are thousands of electricity plans available. Yes, thousands.

Here are just a few plans offered by Ambit Energy:

Summer Break Plan

If you choose this plan you can save up to 50% on your energy bills from June to September.

Secure Savings Plan

Ambit Secure Savings plan offers customers a fixed rate per kilowatt-hour (kWh) when they consume 1,000 kWh or more in a given billing period.

The Free & Clear Nights plan allows customers to utilize free 100% renewable wind energy for energy usage at night. This plan requires your home to have a smart meter.

Green Plans

Ambit Energy also offers green plans — also known as renewable energy plans. These use mostly clean, environmentally friendly energy. Including wind and solar power.

Ambit Energy Rates

When it comes to electricity plans it is all about the rate. The rate you are paying per kWh of energy usage.

Electricity is all the same no matter which power company you choose. So, you look for the cheapest rate.

While it is true that electricity is basically the same no matter who it is purchased from, the cheapest rate may not always be the best option for you.

Wait, what? How can the cheapest rate not be the best option?

Some plans that advertise the cheapest rate can cost you more in the long run.

For example:

Raymond chose an electricity plan with a low rate of 10.0¢ per kilowatt per hour (kWh). It is much lower than his sister, Ema’s electricity plan which is 13.0¢ per kWh.

Raymond went with the cheapest plan but he ends up paying more for electricity than Ema does.

How is that possible?

Well, Raymond did not read the electricity contract which indicated this plan requires minimum usage of 2500 kWh per month in order to get the cheap rate. If he does not meet the minimum usage his rates jump to 16.0¢ per kWh.

Instead of searching for the cheapest electricity plan in Texas, you should be searching for the best electricity plan based on your unique energy usage patterns, and needs.

Ambit Energy may have the best electricity plan for you or they may not.

Ambit Energy Reviews

Opinions are like…minds…everyone has one.

There is no shortage of opinions in the world. We hear them from friends, we see them on social media platforms and we often express them in many ways.

People love to share their opinions and in some cases, opinions are helpful — like choosing restaurants, books, cars, and electricity companies.

When selecting a power company in Texas consider the following:

1. The types of electricity plans offered
2. Any special pricing and perks
3. Customer Reviews

When reading through customer reviews for any company or business keep in mind, historically, there are only two types of people that leave reviews:

• People who had an awful experience
• People who had an amazing experience

These are extreme opinions and do not always give you an accurate picture of a business.

When searching for reviews keep your eyes out for multiple negative reviews concerning billing issues or rate hikes.

Ambit Energy Business Plans

Is there a difference between energy plans for your business verse your home?

The short answer is yes.

The same electricity powers your home and your business but the differences are how energy is purchased and how much it costs.

Businesses can purchase energy in bulk — usually at a cheaper rate than residential customers can.

If you are searching for an electricity plan for your business Ambit Energy claims to have the most competitive rates for businesses in the industry.

The second-largest expense for a business (aside from staff) is the cost of utilities.
