Ambit Energy Reviews (100+ Verified)

Because electricity review sites in Texas often provide a distorted view of consumer attitudes, we recommend that you check reviews on credible websites which have large volumes of customer comments and don’t market electricity rate plans. Below you’ll find certified reviews and ratings from Google, Yelp and Consumer Affairs, and also links to Ambit information from the Public Utility Commission of Texas.

Also, see our Texas Electricity Companies Reviews main page to compare Ambit reviews with those of competing energy providers. And check our Ambit Energy profile page for key information on the company.

Be sure to look past the first 10 featured reviews on Consumer Affairs for more representative and authentic reviews. Also, see the Texas PUC Complaint sites for additional types of verified information.

What are problems with electricity company review sites?

Home Energy Club has recognized the need consumers have for reliable review sources because each of the current types of review sites are known to give consumers distorted impressions of energy providers and the level of service they provide:

• Texas electricity review sites: customer reviews are curated on some sites in a way that gives advantage to companies that pay them higher fees. Home Energy Club does not sell special treatment.
• Major independent review sites: generic review sites are sometimes “gamed” so that unethical providers have undeserved high ratings.
• Government comparison sites: the Power to Choose Texas site and other government energy rate sites generally lack quality control, resulting in unscrupulous manipulation of site results and consumers getting costly bill surprises.

Numerous independent sources are used by HomeEnergyClub.com so that Texas consumers can decide about their energy provider and plan based on more reliable information.

Why does Power to Choose (government site) get many complaints?

For years, consumer complaints have plagued Power to Choose, the electricity comparison site run by the state government. The problem is due to a lack of quality control, which has resulted in the following:

• Consumers are often tricked by gimmicky plans… because electric companies “game” the website to gain a ranking advantage, causing consumers to have shocking bill surprises.
• The question of whether to shut down the site… has been debated by state leaders, and the Public Utility Commission chairman suggested re-examining the feasibility of allowing the government to run the commercial comparison site.

HomeEnergyClub.com has become the best alternative to Power to Choose in Texas. With the consumer-friendly site’s commitment to cutting tricky gimmick plans that lead to bill surprises using the TrustPlan™ process, the free service has filled a market need for consumer-friendly electricity plans.
