4Change Energy plans

As an authorized retailer, SaveOnEnergy offers exclusive rates and promotions with 4Change Energy. The following are some of the most popular energy plans available on our marketplace from 4Change.

Maxx Saver Select 12 and 24

Available in a 12-month or 24-month contract, the Maxx Saver Select plans have a fixed electricity rate, which won’t change for the length of your contract. For each month you use at least 1,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of power, these plans will offer a $100 energy bill credit. The early termination fee for both plans is $20 per month remaining on your contract. 

One Rate 12 and 24

The One Rate 12 and 24 fixed-rate plans have one- or two-year contracts. As you use more energy, the price per kWh decreases. Customers who use 2,000 kWh per month will pay less per kWh than those who use 500 kWh monthly.

Smart Thermostat 24

This 24-month fixed-rate plan gives you a Honeywell T9 Smart Thermostat, which you can use to track your energy consumption. It also offers a $50 energy bill credit when you use at least 1,000 kWh of power in a month.

Cash Money

With this 12-month fixed-rate plan, you get a $100 Visa gift card after paying your first bill in full. You can then receive a $45 bill credit each month you use at least $1,000 kWh.

4Change Energy service areas

4Change Energy sells electricity plans to residents in Texas who receive power from several utilities. You can purchase 4Change plans in the following service areas:

  • Oncor Electric Delivery: Oncor’s service area primarily covers Dallas–Fort Worth but also includes communities such as Waco and Odessa.
  • CenterPoint Energy: This utility’s service area runs through the eastern and southern parts of Texas, including the Houston metropolitan area.

SaveOnEnergy’s tips for easy electricity service setup

Don’t forget to read your plan’s EFL before signing up. It contains essential information, including:

  • Price per kWh based on usage
  • Percentage of renewable energy
  • Early termination fees

Let your supplier handle the setup. Once you receive an order confirmation, your new supplier will set up service with your electric provider or transmission and distribution service provider (TDSP) — but don’t worry, your power won’t get cut during the switch.

Understand your electricity bill. Your local TDSP will still deliver electricity and maintain electric infrastructure, including meters and power lines. Your electric supplier fees will be TDU or TDSP charges on your monthly bill. They are independent of your supplier rate.

How to move or transfer service with 4Change Energy

If you’re an existing 4Change Energy customer planning to move, you can take your electricity service along with you. Contact 4Change Energy at least two days before your move (butpreferably two weeks before) and ask the company to transfer your service to your new address. You can request a transfer through your online account or by calling 1-855-784-2426.

4Change Energy electric rates in my area

4Change Energy rates vary across Texas because utility transmission charges differ from place to place. You might pay a different price for electricity than someone in a neighboring town, even if you both bought the same electricity plan.
