Switch to Ambit Energy Service Electricity and Natural Gas with Confidence

January 13, 2008 | Filed Under electricity

The process for switching your energy service is quite simple AND FREE. All the consumer needs to do is contact the Retail Energy Provider (REP) you’d like to establish service with. More than likely, the price for service will be lower than what you’re paying now.

Deregulation is a process that is designed to help the consumer. Until deregulation, the consumer did not have a choice of electricity providers. This meant that the electricity provider could charge virtually any price it wants. The main goals of deregulation are to drive the prices of electricity down, and open up the marketplace to competition. This does not always happen. There are times when the prices actually go up. However, that is extremely rare.

Even though the consumer in Texas has had a choice of REP’s for a couple of years, at a minimum 70% of the market has not exercised that choice. Most consumers site unreliability as a main reason for not having switched. This is not an issue. The equipment, the power grid, which are the wires through which the electricity flows are owned and maintained by a seperate company. No matter who supplies you with electric power, it will ultimately travel across the same power lines.

The result of this is that no one from your new REP has to come out to your home for any reason. The same meter reader will come next month, just as last. The ONLY differences are that the price should be lower, you’ll have to write the check to the new REP. Because the prices are regulated by the area government, price gouging will not occur.

IT’S SAFE TO SWITCH

At Ambit Energy Service, once you’ve made the decision to switch to Ambit, a customer service representative will contact you by phone within just a few minutes. They will verify that you indeed are switching to Ambit. Once the verification process is complete, you will receive your first bill from Ambit Energy Service on your next normal billing cycle.

Please note that no matter who you choose to contract with for energy service, the process is the same.

By law, the consumer has to choose. So, choose wisely and know that it’s a winning situation for the consumer.
