About 4Change Energy

Long-time Texas electricity provider. Established in 2001, 4Change Energy is one of the electricity providers in the “Value Based Brands” portfolio of providers, which also includes Express Energy and Veteran Energy.

4Change Energy is in our category, “Too Large to Fail”, along with TXU or Reliant, but they don’t quite have the same name recognition as those two. So, they leverage their other brands, Express Energy and Veteran Energy, to help acquire new customers. They also rely heavily on gimmick plans, like Bill Credits, to show artificially low prices.

4Change Energy plans are not available on Power To Choose.

Our Thoughts on 4Change Energy

4Change Energy has been around since 2001 and is one of Texas’s more recognizable electricity brands. Their longevity creates a sense of trust, but that trust often comes with a premium.

While 4Change advertises competitive prices, many of their plans rely on bill credits that can easily lead to higher bills if your usage doesn’t fall within a specific range. Their pricing is rarely among the most competitive, and customers often end up paying more over time for the comfort of a familiar name.

At Texas Electricity Finder, we don’t partner with 4Change Energy because we prioritize simple, transparent plans that offer consistent value. If you’re considering 4Change, make sure to read the Electricity Facts Label (EFL) closely and compare with other providers before enrolling.
