Switching, Moving, and Cancellation Fees

Before switching, moving, or canceling, check out our Savvy Shopper’s Guide for details you need to know when enrolling in  energy plans in Texas.

If you’re simply switching your plan, you need to read the Texas Electricity Facts Label (EFL) for all electricity plans you’re considering. This guide will help you to accurately compare plans across providers and choose the best plan for your home.

When canceling your service, you can find power plans from other electricity providers by entering your zip above. Every plan has an Early Termination Fee which is charged if you cancel your plan before the end of the contract term. Details are in the EFL.

Transferring Pulse Power Plans

Are you moving to a new home? If so, transferring your Pulse Power plan and service is easy. You can take your plan with you by filling out a simple online form. Submit your request as early as possible, as it may take one to two business days to process it.

Report an Outage

When dealing with Pulse Power outages, it’s important to understand the difference between a Retail Electricity Provider (REP) and a Transmission and Distribution Utility (TDU). Pulse Power is a REP. The company purchases energy from power-generating companies and resells it to consumers. A TDU in each area transmits the electricity, taking care of the lines, reading meters, and handling outages.

If you’re reporting an outage, contact your local TDU at one of the following numbers:

    • Oncor: 888-313-4747
    • Centerpoint: 800-332-7143
    • TNMP: 888-866-7456
    • AEP: 866-223-8508
    • Sharyland Utilities: 800-545-4513

On Home Energy Club, our cost calculator widget helps you to choose an energy plan by performing detailed calculations so you can quickly compare estimated plan costs based on your historic usage data and publicly-available data. Your actual future bill amounts will depend on your future energy usage, which cannot be precisely determined, so the accuracy of plan cost data cannot be guaranteed. You should always read the details of an energy plan’s Electricity Facts Label (EFL) to decide if it’s a fit for your home.

By using the widget, you are certifying that you are the person whose name you have entered into the website and have authorization to access usage data for the address you entered.
