They have a very lose definition of average billing

(3.2 / 5)

  I used Direct for over a year and never had any issues with them except for with their idea of average billing. They offer average billing, but it is unlike any average billing I have ever experienced, and to this day, when I inquire about how average billing works with potential energy providers, I have never encountered Direct's odd approach to the matter.Direct Energy doesn't average bill in the sense of keeping your bill around a steady amount and then adjusting it for over or under usage. Direct's average billing bills you exactly what you used that month, so the bill is always a surprise. I spoke to several customer service reps about this issue, and they all seemed confused by my confusion; like average billing meant regular billing. It's really weird. So if you are okay with your average bill being a mystery surprise each month, go ahead and sign up with Direct. Honestly, it's the only issue I ever had with them, but it was enough to inspire me to switch to another provider. Just my personal preference, though.

Not Sure

(3 / 5)

  Although I switched for cost savings, I still have no idea if I have saved money! I guess I would have to go to my old billing and new billing and do math... if you could record my last provider costs and then say you have saved $x.xx by switching to Symmetry... That would excite me

too much work to know
