Remember the skyrocketing energy rates of last year? When prices were at their peak, many consumers were pressured into committing to long-term contracts, locking them into excessively high rates. In contrast, the current scenario showcases significantly lower energy rates. The question arises, are you still trapped in an overpriced contract while others are benefiting from the lowered rates? If so, it's time to seize the opportunity and switch to Ambit Energy. We not only provide new lower rates, but we'll also cover your cancellation fees. This article delves into how you can take advantage of this outstanding offer and transition to cost-effective, flexible energy consumption.
The Power Crisis of the Past and the Opportunity of the Present
The previous year was a challenging time for energy consumers. Rates were spiraling, and in the rush to secure energy, many signed expensive contracts without realizing the full implications of their decision. These contracts, often with lengthy terms, left them stranded with exorbitantly high energy prices even when rates in the market started to come down.
Fast forward to today, the energy market has undergone a dramatic change. Rates have significantly decreased, creating an excellent opportunity for consumers to lower their energy costs. However, for those who are still bound by high-rate contracts from the past, it may seem like they're left out of the savings party. That's where Ambit Energy comes in.

Every year, millions of consumers get locked into long-term contracts that don’t serve their evolving needs and preferences. Fortunately, Ambit Energy is changing the narrative with its "Try It, Like It or Change It" pledge. This pledge epitomizes Ambit's commitment to unparalleled flexibility and customer-centric energy solutions. This article explores this unique offering and how it liberates consumers from the traditional constraints of energy contracts.
The Pitfalls of Traditional Energy Contracts
The conventional energy industry model is built around contracts that lock in consumers for a certain period, often leaving them stuck with a plan that may not fully meet their changing needs. This approach lacks flexibility and understanding of the dynamic nature of a customer’s lifestyle and energy consumption patterns.
Ambit Energy, on the other hand, firmly believes that an energy plan should be an enabler, not a constraint. This belief laid the foundation for our innovative "Try It, Like It or Change It" pledge, where contracts serve as a vehicle for delivering superior value rather than hindering flexibility.
Understanding the "Try It, Like It or Change It" Pledge
The "Try It, Like It or Change It" pledge empowers Ambit Energy customers with the freedom to change their plan once a year, forever. This liberty to modify plans caters to the evolving needs of consumers and allows them to benefit from new offerings, plans, and lower rates that may become available over time.
The key value proposition of the pledge is flexibility. For instance, if you've always been intrigued by the concept of free nights but are uncertain whether it would be advantageous for your particular energy use pattern, you can give it a go. If it doesn't yield the savings you were expecting, you're free to switch back to your previous plan or explore a new one.
This approach not only reduces the risk of trying different plans but also enables consumers to make more informed decisions about what works best for them. It allows consumers to treat their energy plan as a dynamic element that can be fine-tuned and optimized over time, much like how one would manage a portfolio of investments.
Moving Has Never Been Easier
Moving to a new home can be both an exciting and challenging experience. Navigating through the plethora of things to manage, the last thing you'd want is to grapple with the complexities of your energy contract. Ambit Energy addresses this challenge head-on with its move-friendly policy.
As part of our "Try It, Like It or Change It" pledge, if you move, you have the ultimate flexibility to manage your energy contract. You can cancel your contract with no penalty if you find better plans and rates in your new area, or transfer your existing plan. If you move to an area we don’t service, your plan ends automatically with no extra fees. This flexibility makes the process of moving a breeze, freeing you to focus on settling into your new home.
The Best of Both Worlds: No Contract Plan
While the "Try It, Like It or Change It" pledge offers remarkable flexibility within a contract, Ambit Energy also provides a no-contract option with the Lone Star Flex plan. You might ask, "Why opt for a no-contract plan when the contract-based plan already offers such tremendous flexibility?" The answer is simple: Ambit Energy believes in catering to a diverse array of consumer needs and preferences.
Some consumers might prefer the no-strings-attached nature of a no-contract plan. For them, the Lone Star Flex plan is a perfect fit. Others might appreciate the stability and predictability of a contract, along with the flexibility to change it, making our "Try It, Like It or Change It" pledge
the go-to option.
At Ambit Energy, we understand that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to energy consumption. That's why we provide different options to cater to the unique needs of each consumer.
Conclusion
At Ambit Energy, we're not just an energy provider; we're a customer-centric company that prioritizes the unique needs and preferences of our customers. With the "Try It, Like It or Change It" pledge, we've torn down the traditional walls of energy contracts, offering unprecedented flexibility that lets consumers adjust their energy plans to suit their evolving lifestyles.
So, whether you're a night owl who would benefit from free nights, someone who moves frequently, or simply someone who enjoys having the freedom to switch things up, Ambit Energy has got you covered. Experience the best of both worlds today with Ambit Energy's contract and no-contract plans and enjoy the ultimate freedom in managing your energy consumption.
In a rapidly transforming world, consumers increasingly seek service providers that understand and cater to their evolving needs.

This article explores Ambit Energy's groundbreaking approach to meeting customers' energy needs, offering ultimate flexibility, unbeatable rates, and various customer-friendly initiatives.
Contractual Freedom like Never Before
The mere mention of "contracts" may send shivers down the spines of many consumers, given the rigidity and limitations often associated with them. However, with Ambit Energy, the narrative changes dramatically. Here, contracts are no longer restricting but rather empowering.
Unlike conventional energy suppliers that bind you to a fixed plan for the duration of your contract, Ambit Energy offers you the freedom to change your plan up to once per year.

This yearly plan-change policy provides you with the opportunity to adapt your energy plan as your circumstances evolve, giving you ultimate control over your energy consumption and costs.
Try Free Nights Without the Fear of Commitment
Ambit Energy understands that every consumer is unique, and thus what works best for one might not necessarily be ideal for another. That's why we offer the intriguing 'Free & Clear Nights' plan. If you've been contemplating whether this plan could benefit you but are uncertain about making the commitment, we've got you covered. Free nights runs from 9pm to 6am, for some people this adds up to serious savings!

The power truly lies in your hands!
Why Go with a No Contract Plan?
While we offer a no-contract plan like our Lone Star Flex, you might wonder why one would consider this option given our customer-friendly contract terms.

So whether you prefer the security of a contract or the complete freedom of a no-contract plan, Ambit Energy has the right fit for you.

According to information published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Texas residents can expect no relief from high electricity rates this summer, with average prices increasing to 15.71 cents per kWh in 2023.
There's little you can do about the escalating costs of natural resources or decreasing demand that drive prices higher. But there are steps every Texas homeowner can take to keep their electricity bills as low as possible during these trying times.
Keep reading for some ideas on how to reduce your electric bill this Texas summer.
Plug the Leaks
Statistics from the Environmental Protection Agency show that heating and cooling occupy the top spot when it comes to consuming residential electricity, amounting to 50% of the energy used in homes.
The quality of insulation in your home has the biggest impact on how much you spend on electricity every month. Cracks in windows, ducts, and doors, as well as the type of attic insulation you have, all impact your indoor temperatures.
Hot and cold air move freely through even the tiniest opening, forcing your HVAC to use more electricity as it works harder to keep temperatures at your desired levels.
Get an expert to check your attic insulation. If it's incorrectly rated for your area, you're losing hot air through your roof, too.
To save money on electricity this summer, seal any cracks in your windows and doors with caulk and upgrade your insulation. Wrapping your home's ductwork in batting will keep hot and cold air where it belongs, too.
While you're focused on heating and cooling, it's a good idea to change your HVAC filters in the spring. This simple task ensures optimum efficiency when summer rolls around.
Adjust Your Thermostat
One of the simplest energy-saving tips is to adjust your thermostat according to your daily routine. Turning your thermostat back 7° to 10°F from the usual setting when you're away from home or asleep will cut your electricity costs considerably.
A programmable thermostat is an excellent investment if you want to save on your electricity bill. You can set it to reduce your home's heating and cooling requirements during these times to use less electricity when you're not at home.
Be Water-Wise
Managing your hot water usage helps you cut down on expenses associated with running your water heater. For starters, set your water heater to a maximum temperature of 120°F.
Alternatively, invest in a tankless water heater or a gas-fueled water heater to enjoy substantial savings on electricity. These appliances heat water instantly on demand, so you don't pay the costs associated with keeping a tank of water hot 24 hours a day.
Use a dishwasher for full loads of dishes instead of washing them by hand. Air-drying your dishes will also help save on energy costs.
A load-sensing washer and washing only full loads of laundry help keep hot water use to a minimum. Low-flow faucets help reduce hot water use for bathing and cleaning.
Smart Lighting Saves You Money
Get rid of your halogen lightbulbs and replace them with LED lights. These modern lights use much less energy than traditional light bulbs, and they last a lot longer, too.
LED lights create abundant light but less heat, keeping your rooms cooler.
Switch off the lights when you're not using them. A smart lighting system and motion sensor lighting can help cut your electricity costs considerably if you're prone to forgetting the lights on in empty rooms.
Keep your blinds and drapes closed when you're not at home or don't need natural light in a room. By blocking the heat from the sun, you'll keep your rooms cool and ease the load on your HVAC.
Manage Your Electronics and Appliances
Unplug any appliances and electronics you're not using. They still use electricity when they're plugged in.
It's easiest to do this by using power strips for areas like home offices, home theaters, and small kitchen appliances. That way, one flip of the switch cuts off everything in a room.
Smart strips will power only the devices you need, and timers can help keep everything switched off when you're at work.
Fans can help reduce your cooling bills, but remember to switch them off when you leave a room. Fans don't cool your room; they cool the people inside the room.
Shop Around for the Best Texas Electricity Rates
Once you've set up your home for maximum efficiency, there's only one thing left to do: search online for Texas electricity plans with better per-kWh rates.
There are some excellent specials available from power companies, with plans to suit a wide variety of homeowners. Some power companies offer free electricity, subject to terms and conditions.
Homeowners in deregulated areas who own solar energy systems should compare feed-in tariffs to ensure even greater savings this summer. If you're savvy about electricity usage, you could use your solar panels to create an additional income stream.
Switch Up Your Electric Bill this Texas Summer
Our month-to-month Lone Star Flex package is perfect for those who require flexibility with variable rates, low additional charges, and no early termination fee.
A featured or fixed plan is the best option for most homeowners. Variable rate plans make sense for those who need month-to-month flexibility, such as property managers refurbishing a house for a few months before renting it.
Having a fixed plan contract isn't a bad thing. If you move, you don't need to pay a cancellation fee, and with Ambit Energy, you can change your plan at any time.

For many Texans, understanding their electric bill can feel like navigating a maze. The seemingly complex terminology and fluctuating charges can leave you scratching your head.
On top of this, homeowners are having to deal with rising electricity costs. While inflation has cooled somewhat, the typical power bill in the U.S. this summer is still set to be around 2% higher than last year.
If you are interested in reducing your average electric bill in Texas in summer, this blog post is for you. Here, we will share information on how you can understand the different components of a typical Texas electric bill. We'll also highlight why Ambit Energy and its range of featured, fixed, and variable electric plans can help you save this summer.
Understanding Your Texas Electric Bill
Let's start by breaking down the different elements of a Texas electric bill. Understanding this will empower you to take control of your energy usage and costs.
Billing Structure
To comprehend your electric bill, it's crucial to understand the billing structure. Here in Texas, most residential electricity plans utilize a deregulated market, where customers can choose their Retail Electric Provider (REP).
The charges on your bill consist of various components. These include the cost of electricity, delivery charges, and taxes.
Electricity Charges
The cost of electricity is typically the most prominent element on your bill. It reflects the actual energy you consumed during the billing period, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh).
The electricity rate is usually expressed in cents per kWh and varies depending on your plan and REP. Understanding your usage pattern can help you identify opportunities to conserve energy and reduce costs.
Delivery Charges
Delivery charges cover the cost of transmitting electricity from power plants to your home. It also covers the cost of maintaining the distribution infrastructure.
These charges include the transmission and distribution charges, which are set by utility companies. The delivery charges may be fixed or based on your usage, and they appear separately on your bill.
Taxes and Fees
Your electric bill will also include various taxes and fees imposed by federal, state, and local governments. These charges are typically calculated as a percentage of your total bill and include:
- Sales tax
- Gross receipts tax
- Other regulatory fees
While you have little control over these charges, being aware of them can help you better understand the total cost of electricity.
Understanding Usage Data
Many electric bills also provide detailed usage data, such as daily or hourly consumption. Monitoring this data can provide valuable insights into your energy usage patterns. For example, you can identify peak consumption periods and adjust your habits accordingly.
By utilizing this information, you can make informed decisions to conserve energy. These include adjusting thermostat settings or using energy-efficient appliances.
Discover the Best Electric Plans in Texas
Now that you better understand the breakdown of an electricity bill, it's time to highlight the very best plans you can choose from in Texas. Here at Ambit Energy, we offer a range of electric plans, meaning that everyone can find a plan that fits their needs perfectly.

It's also a great option for people who have an electric plug-in car. Just imagine the prospect of charging your EV for free every single night!

Understanding the Average Electric Bill in Texas in Summer
Understanding your Texas electric bill doesn't have to be a daunting task. Armed with the above knowledge, you can make smart choices that help you to reduce your home's energy bill this summer (and moving forward in general).
We recommend that you, as a Texas homeowner, partner with Ambit Energy this summer for competitive rates and friendly service. To get started, check out our available rates today. We're here to lower your average electric bill in Texas in summer!
Across the United States, more than 85% of homes have air conditioning installed. This accounts for 1856 kWhs usage per household on average annually.
Have you noticed you spend more on your electric bill in Texas over the summer months? It makes sense, the weather heats up, and we want to cool down.
And when we do this, we typically turn to electricity-eating appliances like air conditioning systems. But this will quickly eat through your finances.
So, keep reading to learn how to reduce your energy bill this summer. Here are eight money-saving ideas to get you started.
1. Use Curtains and Blinds
The Texas summer can be brutal, and one of the easiest ways to save on your electricity bill is to close your curtains or blinds. This can be especially effective if you shut them during the hours the sun shines through the most.
Even closing the blinds for a few hours can significantly reduce the amount you spend on cooling your home. Another benefit of shutting your curtains during the hottest hours is your furniture will last longer before fading.
- Pro Tip: If you don't have blinds or curtains up on your windows, you can use this as an opportunity to redecorate your space
2. Switch to Energy-Efficient Appliances
Appliances over the years have become more energy-efficient. Today, we have several ratings on appliances that can quickly tell you whether or not it's an appliance that will use a lot of electricity. This rating is called the ENERGY STAR® label.
When you see the ENERGY STAR® label on an appliance, you know it's been tested and meets specific requirements regarding quality and efficiency. Typically there is a label on the appliance that tells you several things. The primary information you're looking for is how much the estimated yearly consumption is and what the estimated annual operating costs are.
3. Use Fans Instead of Air Conditioning
Another way to beat the heat in a Texas summer is to use fans whenever possible. You can save money using a ceiling fan instead of turning on the air conditioner which uses a lot of electricity. A portable fan will also do if you're a renter and can't install a ceiling fan.
However, if you leave the fan running while not in the room, you will use up more electricity than is necessary. Instead, ensure you switch off all fans before exiting the room. You can always turn them back on when you return.
4. Perform Air Conditioner Maintenance
You won't save money if you have an air conditioner that's not working optimally. If you've slacked on getting regular maintenance performed, you should start contacting an HVAC maintenance company. While the maintenance service fee may cost more than you expected, it'll be cheaper than paying for more electricity than you need over a year.
An air conditioner, or HVAC system, is at its most energy-efficient when running at peak performance. Furthermore, regular maintenance will extend your AC unit's lifetime, saving you money on costly repairs or replacements.
5. Turn Down Your Water Heater's Temperature
While we all love to have a hot shower or soak in the tub, many US households run their water heater at excessive temperatures. Reducing the temperature to which it has to heat the water saves you money on reduced electricity costs.
You can take it one step further and put an insulation blanket on your water heater to help keep it from dropping in temperature too much during the colder months. This will also help you save money on your electric bill in Texas over the summer.
6. Find a New Electricity Plan
If you want to reduce your electricity bill, it may be time to consider switching electricity providers. Many energy providers offer competitive rates which can help you reduce your overall costs. Typically the energy company you choose will have plans you can choose between, depending on your needs and budget.
At AmbitEnergy, we offer month-to-month contract plans with variable rates. Another benefit we offer is you can change your plan if it no longer suits your needs. We also provide several fixed plans if you'd prefer the peace of mind of a more extended contract.
7. Stay Hydrated
While this isn't necessarily something you can do to your home, it's still a great way to beat the heat. Eat more fruits and drink more water to stay cooler in the hotter months.
Besides the fact that drinking water helps replace the water you lose through sweating, drinking water also helps lower your body temperature. If you've been sweating particularly heavily, drink a beverage containing electrolytes to replace those you lose.
- Pro Tip: Drinking enough water in the day helps your skin look and remain healthier for longer
8. Turn Off Appliances
Finally, the last in our money-saving ideas is to turn off appliances when you're not using them. It may seem tempting or even a great idea to leave the air conditioner running while you're out so you can return to a cold room; it's costing you money you need not spend.
Instead, when you leave a room, ensure you turn off all appliances like air conditioners, fans, etc. Leaving other machines running, like PCs, will add to the heat in the room, so turn those devices off as well. Additionally, turning off devices and appliances when not in use can also extend their lifespan, saving you money.
Save on Your Electric Bill in Texas This Summer
Following these few money-saving ideas is wise if you want to save on your electric bill in Texas this summer. There are several quick and easy ways you can start saving immediately.
For example, adjusting the temperature on your water heater, adding a blanket, turning off appliances when you leave the room, changing electricity plans, and using fans instead of air conditioners are all ways you can reduce the amount you spend on your electric bill.
