Absolutely horrific experience the last year! I was with them for over 5 years and they are quick to charge fees and hike rates yet will not deliver a good service!

Infact if anyother languacan be used to qualify them...they are more than worse..issuing to bills the same month. It's a BIG RIP OFF. I swear they are worse company. Withing one month two bills a residential house for $457.49.. what for...only on gas.

If I could, I'll give them zero, or -5! About ten years ago, I switched from Direct Energy-Regulated Services to this one-Direct Energy because they had better rates. They had some fixed rate 1, 3 or 5 year plans. I did not chose any of them and remain flexible. A week ago, I heard that a lot my friends have fixed rate now for electricity due to the rising market rate and decided to look into it. Out of my surprise, the result was shocking: (1) for electricity: the rate I paid was market rate(now is ~$0.20/KWH)+ a Fee of $ 0.0375/KWH. Yearly my household consumes 3000 KWH electricity. For "a Fee" was about $112 for me; (2) for natural gas even way more worser: my rate was market rate (now is 2.55/GJ) + a Fee of $3.75/GJ. The annual consumption is 120GJ - that for " a Fee" it was $450 for me. If you count it for almost 10-year period, the total wasted money was $5,620. Another thing I noticed is that they purposely hide their rate in the bill comparing to its brother’s company's bill. You have to dig out and calculate by yourself. Be aware of "a Fee" and keep away of this company!

Untrustworthy This company will not tell you the truth about how their services work and will bill you with or without an active account.

You sign up for a rate and then your bill keeps getting higher and higher and then you see they change your rate and say its because of the CenterPoint delivery rate but you already have a huge charge on your bill from CenterPoint. I would never recommend this company to anyone. They lie, they raise your rate and charge you for all kinds of charges

I tried making an affordable payment plan to get my bill paid with them because I am a low income person but they denied it. Left me and my aunty with disabilities in the dark no 24hr warning, nothing. We have no running water and or food because it went bad in the fridge and freezer. If you are low income. I suggest you don't go with them, if you fall into struggles. Don't go with them. They're don't care unless you have money, just another big corpo

worst electricity gas provider ever scam... on their fixed rate very scam dont trust

Bait and switch.. Liars. Upped my prices by 5+ cents. no warning.. Refused to help. Stated they called me. Never did. Said they sent letters. Never did. Received the highest electric bill I have ever gotten in the 18 years I have lived in my home.
