Frontier Utilities

Frontier Utilities offers a big lineup of plans: simple fixed-rate options, a free-weekends plan, bill-credit “Super Saver” plans, and plans built for solar, batteries and electric vehicles. With that much variety, the key is picking the type of plan that matches how your household actually uses electricity.

Choosing the right type of Frontier plan

  • Super Saver plans give you a bill credit when your usage hits a set level. Before you sign up, figure out your bill just below, right at, and above that level. Credit plans can make your effective rate jump sharply if you fall just short.
  • Free Weekends only pays off if you can actually shift a lot of your electricity use to the free hours. Your daily routine matters more than the plan name.
  • Simple fixed-rate plans (such as Frontier 12 and 24) are the easiest to compare and the most predictable month to month.

What customers say: complaints and ratings

Texas PUC complaint rating: 3 out of 5

The Public Utility Commission of Texas rates providers on how many complaints they get per 1,000 customers. Frontier scores a 3 out of 5, which is average for Texas electricity companies.

The PUC count covers the parent company, Retail Energy Solutions, which also runs Companion Energy. From April through September 2026, it received 32 complaints:

Complaint type Count
Billing 14
Disconnection of service 9
Starting or moving service 5
Switching without permission (“slamming”) 4
Unauthorized charges (“cramming”) 0
Service quality 0
Total 32

What stands out: complaints are spread across several areas rather than concentrated in billing. Disconnections were the second-largest category, so if you choose Frontier, set up payment reminders or autopay to stay on top of due dates.

Is Frontier Utilities a good fit for you?

Frontier may be a good choice if:

  • You have solar panels, a home battery or an electric vehicle and want a plan designed for it.
  • Your household uses a lot of power on weekends.
  • You want a wide range of plan types from one provider.

You might look elsewhere if:

  • Your usage swings a lot month to month. Bill-credit plans can backfire in low-use months.
  • You want a contract longer than two years.
