Frequently Asked Questions about Houston Energy Plans
No, it’s easy to switch electric companies in Houston. Simply sign up online or call our customer care team at 888-900-7052, and we'll notify your current provider that you are switching to Constellation.

You won’t experience any service interruptions. In fact, the only thing you may notice is a lower energy bill!
We understand that your family may be on a budget and therefore pay close attention to how much energy you're using. We send alerts to you when your electricity usage is spiking. We also send you weekly usage emails, so you can see how much you're using week to week. Included in those emails are estimated bill predictions, so you have a sense of what your monthly bill will cost.
Power companies traditionally bill customers based on the amount of electricity used over a given time period. Such a process can make it difficult to estimate your energy costs from one month to the next. With a fixed-rate electricity plan from Constellation, you pay the same supply rate for the duration of your contract. Locking in energy rates can help you budget by protecting against periods of high demand, like a hot Houston summer, that could cause energy prices to go up.
As a Constellation customer in Houston, you will not be charged any additional fees when you pay your bill on time each month. You will be charged your fixed supply rate plus your utility fees and charges. Those utility fees, includiing a distribution charge, are set by your utility company, and all providers are legally required to charge the same fees each month. You may also be charged state and local taxes, both of which are set by your local and state government.
As a Constellation customer, you'll receive a number of benefits, including competitive pricing, unique products like our Electricity + A/C Protection Plan Bundle available in the Greater Houston area, rewards, and no hidden fees. Wth Constellation you can expect more and get more.
