FAQs for New Electricity Service
- How quickly can I start service?
Usually, service can start the same day or the next day if you sign up online.
- Do I need to pay a deposit?
Not always—many providers offer no-deposit options. Compare Power highlights these clearly so you can find the best fit.
- Can I change my mind after I switch?
In Texas, providers offer a 3-day grace period during which you can cancel the contract without penalty if you change your mind after switching providers. So rest easy – if you feel you’ve made a mistake, contact your new provider, tell them you’d like to cancel, and come back to Compare Power to find a provider or plan that suits you better.
Suppose you have passed the grace period and want to switch back to your previous provider or a different one. In that case, you may be subject to an early termination or cancellation fee, depending on the contract terms you have signed. It’s important to check the terms of the contract and to confirm with the new provider regarding any fees that may be applied.
If you set up service for the first time (moving in), this “right of rescission” may vary. Check with your provider before signing up to be sure.
