Real customers, real bills
Switched from another REP last month. Sign-up was 4 minutes online and the first 4Change Energy bill matched the EFL exactly. Customer service was easy to reach when I had a question about auto-pay.
Rate is one of the lowest I found at my usage. The mobile app is functional but feels dated. Otherwise no complaints — bills have been steady for 8 months.
Moved across town and 4Change Energy ported my account in two days. No truck roll, no service gap. Their renewal team called me a month before contract end with a competitive offer.
The first 12 months were great. After renewal my rate climbed quite a bit and I had to call to negotiate. Locked back in at a fair price but it wasn't automatic. Read the EFL carefully.
We use 1,400+ kWh in summer and the per-kWh price 4Change Energy quoted held up. Bill credit kicked in correctly. Easy to recommend.
Power has never gone out from anything 4Change Energy controls (TDU outages don't count). Billing is consistent. Online portal works. Nothing flashy, but nothing wrong either.

4Change Energy FAQ
4Change Energy plans range from 7.78¢/kWh on the cheapest fixed plan to roughly 18.12¢/kWh on its premium products. The average across all 8 plans is 13.98¢/kWh at 1,000 kWh of monthly usage. Always check the EFL — advertised rates can differ at 500 or 2,000 kWh.
Yes. 4Change Energy is a licensed Retail Electric Provider in Texas, founded in 2012 and headquartered in Dallas, TX. It's regulated by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) and serves customers across the deregulated Texas market.
Most enrollments process in 1–3 business days. 4Change Energy files the switch with your local TDU (Oncor, CenterPoint, AEP, or TNMP) — there's no service interruption, and your meter and wires don't change. Same-day or next-day moves are available for new addresses with priority enrollment.
4Change Energy typically runs a soft credit check at enrollment. Customers with strong credit usually pay no deposit. If a deposit is required, it's typically refunded after 12 months of on-time payments. To skip the deposit entirely, look at prepaid options or a co-signer.
On fixed-rate plans, ETFs typically run $150 (under 12 months), $250 (12-month plans), or $295 (24+ month plans). Month-to-month variable plans have no ETF. The exact fee is listed in the EFL for each plan — always verify before signing.
Yes, as long as you're moving to another deregulated area on a TDU 4Change Energy serves. You'll typically transfer your plan to the new address without paying an ETF. If you move to a regulated market or municipal utility area (like Austin Energy or CPS), you'll need to cancel — most providers waive the ETF in that case with proof of address.
