Does switching providers frequently affect my credit score?

Frequently switching electricity providers in Texas typically has minimal impact on your credit score. Most providers perform soft credit checks that don't affect your score. However, if you leave unpaid balances when switching, those could be reported to credit bureaus. Additionally, some companies require deposits for customers with lower credit scores. To protect your credit, always ensure you've paid your final bill before switching to a new electricity provider.
