I am in the process of moving into a new apartment and was directed to set up my electric service via Ambit. I received a call from them on 11/2/23 after submitting an online form and the sales rep spoke so fast and did not say what company he worked for. He then demanded my social security number which I declined to provide. I looked this company up on Google while he was talking AT me and discovered that it is a Multi Level Marketing (MLM) with abysmal reviews. When I mentioned this to the rep, he dismissed my concerns and started talking even faster.
I got really bad vibes from him (predatory) and told him that I would be going with a legitimate energy utility company instead. To my surprise, he pivoted to an accentuated and extremely RUDE mocking tone and told me to have a nice day. He then hung up on me! TERRIBLE company. 0 stars. Avoid at all costs and go with a legitimate utility provider and not a MLM.

This multilevel marketing company will get your family member to sign up and then they of course are excited to save you on your energy. Typical scam artist company. I wound up paying over $800 more for the year that I would have had I just stayed with the main provider instead of this greasy marketer. To the person who was excited about her rep's “positive energy” - don’t drink the Kool-Aid, they will get you and screw you over!

Mrs Aura ** was my consultant. My God she was able to get the job done with my electricity. I will recommend everyone I know in Houston Texas about her and to get them to switch their electric provider when I tell you she made me feel so comfortable and calm. I want to thank her for all that she’s done and I am very grateful to have spoken to her, her positive energy has rubbed on me. If I could I would give her a trillion points.

The worst electricity company you could possibly use; they charge such high fees that make the customer think they are a scam. I’m canceling my contract with them after a bill of $352 + $150. The only thing they could explain was something about a 'summer break adjustment' - what??? I live alone, I'm hardly ever home, I use my TV sparingly. It doesn't make sense. Even though I knew I was being charged unfairly, I was paying half the amount because there was no way I could afford to pay $352 + $150 at once. I paid $160 and was gradually paying the rest. Suddenly, they disconnected my electricity when I least expected it. NOTE: and it has nothing to do with late payments. TAKE MY ADVICE, IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SCAMMED, don't sign a contract with this company.

Most expensive energy bills I’ve ever paid. I feel trapped, belittled, and disrespected. The customer service is a joke, it’s almost impossible to get someone on the phone. When you do, it’s someone in a call center in India. You can barely understand them, they can barely understand you. Not fair for either side of the conversation. I’ve had the most horrible experiences with this company. I do not trust them in any way. Save yourself, don’t do it! Lol, trust me… It’s an absolute nightmare.

They are charging $479 for an 1100 square foot home. Nothing has changed, but my energy has been going up $100 every single month. Please don't use them. I'm canceling and encouraging others to do the same, because it's definitely a scam. My bill used to be around 170 or 180. I've been with them for 10 years, but I'm leaving because he literally told me my usage is 17.50/ kilowatt.

Just like the review I just read. Stay the hell away from scamming Ambit. I am in a 2 bed apt and my bill has been 200 to 350 every month. They lied to me when I signed up and their rates are ridiculous. I hate them with a passion.

I live in a two bedroom. My son and I only. My bill is never below 200. We ** everything out. I even had my landlord check for air leaks. This is the worst company. They offer you a plan or contract with the promise of saving. It’s crap. My bill is worse.

My house is 900 so. My bill was $400. I paid all but $100. Made arrangements to pay the remaining with my next bill and they still disconnected my service for nonpayment. This is ridiculous. I have never been late, in fact I always pay several days early. And I get disconnected in this Texas heat.
