IGS Energy -- Profile Analysis

I just noticed on my recent bill that the price being charged went up over 50%. This is a lot. Called and they said I switched in December, which I never approved. Said they acquired Talen energy and that they went out of business as their rates were too low. I tried to discuss a lower rate but was simply told that there will be new rates March 1st. My bill has increased about $60 per month. Seems pretty unethical to me

I'm rehabbing my home gas lines were ripped out gas off at meter igs charged me over 200 dollars for one month when my gas was shut off its blamed it on nicor so I called nicor they told me I only owed them 20 bucks 18 to be exact igs igs kept blaming nicor nicor and your electric supplier will not charge you igs rates cancel igs don't pay there cancellation fee nicor and your electric supplier will not charge you igs rates just pay the amount for nicor and same for your electric your paying your bill up to 3x the amount of which it should be and igs Costner service is all foreigners you can ballet understand igs is nothing more than liars and scammers and need shut down

A territory manager named James Basilone stopped by my property. Told me I already had a home warranty and just wanted to see how I was enjoying it. Told him I did not recall paying for anything. He asked to look at my gas bill to see if it was energy efficient, and I figured it was no harm. I did not plan on letting him sell me anything. Little did I know he took the account number from my bill and signed me up for his most expensive plan without my consent or knowledge. I was surprised with a $39.95 charge on my next gas bill. The company was nice in terms of cancelling it and refunding me, and let me know that James was supposed to have me sign and consent which means he forged my consent. Do not let James talk to you.

When started with IGS, they said they would always be 10 % lower on rate and for first 5 they were,i was with them for 15 years, after first 5 years i stopped checking, then for past year price has been significantly higher, when i called they said i wasn't on preferred plan and hadn't been for past 5 years, their rate was 75 vs 50 for columbia gas 150 % higher and according to them had been for 5 years, note they never let me know, I wish I would have noticed earlier, saved 10 % for first 5yrs, paid 50 % higher for last 5yrs, not sure of center 5yrs, but paid significantly more in the end, I guess that is the plan. Unhappily scammed!

That the supplier this supplier will ever be used again. The bill is wrong and who ever read the meter was wrong. This place is rented you will not be getting unwanted charges from me because I will be calling the PUCO

Today I found out that I have been enrolled with this company for over a year. I am just astounded as I NEVER signed up for this. I'm not sure what loophole this company is using to take money from me but they are a shady garbage company. DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THEIR SUPPLY. Also, how is this not identity fraud???

When it came time to switch to a new provider, this company tried to block the transition, saying I had renewed with them. This was a total fabrication on their part. I ended up paying a much longer time for the variable rate. Ripoff!!!

Moved into my new house and IGS called wanting me to sign up with them without even seeing my first bill. Got first bill and they called back. Going through the 'closure' call I noticed their rate is higher than a lot of other's. So I cancelled. The original guy called me back sounding very annoyed and making sigh noises.

I would definitely not recommend this company. Very rude customer service when you don't renew your very long contracts. Found cheaper electricity elsewhere and wanted to try something different for a period of time - pushy and rude. In addition, in two months while I've been a so called "free agent" still with IGS as the supplier (without contract), they almost doubled the amount I pay per kWh - literally. Needless to say, I would never recommend nor return to this company. I hope others had a better experience than I did with IGS

That single five star review was obviously written by an IGS salesperson! I'm actually pretty well educated and I can calculate how much higher IGS's rate is than my current provider . . . and the answer is: 50%. Bottom-line: if they can afford to send people to your door, their rates are going to be higher. "Educate yourself" is good advice, but do it at home, on-line, at sites like this then choose your own provider. You'll be happy you did.
