Frequently Asked Questions

Is there any risk or obligation when working with a broker like EnergyBrokerTx?

None. Our process is 100% no-obligation and no-risk: Share your bill or basic info (takes 60 seconds) We run the reverse auction (usually 24 hours) You review transparent offers and decide whether to switch If you don’t like any offer, you walk away—no fees, no pressure, no commitment. We only earn if you choose a new plan and it saves you money.

How much can a business actually save by using an energy broker?

Our clients typically save 15–30% compared to their current or default rates, with many seeing even higher reductions on high-usage accounts (manufacturing, multifamily, restaurants, offices, etc.). Savings depend on your usage profile, current contract, location (Oncor, CenterPoint, AEP, Xcel, etc.), and market conditions—but we provide a personalized estimate before you commit. Thousands of Texas businesses have redirected those savings to growth, upgrades, or bottom-line profit.

Are energy brokers licensed and regulated in Texas?

Yes—EnergyBrokerTx is a fully licensed and registered electricity broker with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT). You can verify our active status here: PUCT Broker Registration – EnergyBrokerTX LLC. All providers we work with are also PUCT-approved. This ensures full compliance, consumer protections, and ethical practices in the ERCOT market.

How do you get paid if the service is free to businesses?

We are compensated solely by the winning retail electric provider through a standard, built-in commission (typically a small fraction of a cent per kWh). This fee is already factored into every rate quote you see—your bill is never higher because you used a broker. In fact, because we create real competition, clients almost always pay less overall than if they shopped alone. There are no hidden fees, no upfront charges, and no cost to you if you decide not to switch.

What exactly does an energy broker do, and how is it different from calling providers myself?

A Texas energy broker acts as your independent advocate in the deregulated market. We analyze your usage, run a reverse auction with 25+ vetted retail providers, negotiate on your behalf, and present the best offers side-by-side—all without you spending hours on calls or comparing confusing plans. Unlike contacting providers directly (where you may get only one or two quotes), a broker creates competition that drives rates lower. You get the best available deal with zero direct cost to you.
