Welcome to SaveOnEnergy! You made an excellent choice for your energy plan.

New Texas electricity service FAQs

  • You’ll only have to pay an early termination fee (ETF) if you cancel your energy contract early. Your new plan can start up to 14 days before your current contract expires. Other exemptions include moving out of your current provider’s service area or switching plans within a provider’s satisfaction guarantee window.

  • Yes, you can switch providers if you’re unhappy with your plan. But keep in mind that if you’re under contract, you may have to pay an ETF to switch early. However, most providers offer a satisfaction guarantee that lets you switch for free within the first few weeks after enrollment. The timeframe varies by provider, so check its policy to find out if you can switch for free.
