Billing Reviews

“  I have been with Green Mountain since 2004 which included 3 moves and 2 hurricanes. I would have to rate my service at a 7 on a scale from 1 to 10. I have had troubles with my billing in the last 2 months but before that it was fairly smooth. As long as you make notes of who you spoke with and when regarding billing issues when you call then, they usually correct their mistakes. When I first signed up for their service in 2004, their customer service dept was horrible but the past 4 years they have improved in regard to politeness and experience. When I scheduled my last move which was to my first home, they sent me a small plant with a letter congratulating me on my purchase, which I thought was nice. Not sure if other companies do that.Their rates are slightly higher than others, I am currently at $.11 @ 1000k fixed rate for 12mnths which is similar to other offers right now. Summary: Good Choice ”

“  I was a Direct Energy customer for almost 2 years, before I ended up moving. I thought the plan I had through them was price competitive at the time and have few regrets in using them.

The customer service was fine but the billing irritated me a little bit. Specifically, when I'd go to make a payment with them over the phone, they'd charge me a "convenience fee" to make the payment. What this really was a surcharge added to my bill to cover their costs with a third party billing group, I'm guessing. It irritated me that paying on time was still punished to the tune of about $36/year when I made my payments. I guess my alternative was to mail a payment, and that wasn't happening.

I would go with them Direct Energy again if they had a plan I liked when I was shopping for electricity. They gave me an overall good experience. ”

“  I switched from TXU to Infinite on their 6 month plan. Rate was lower than anyone else at the time. Sign up was easy and friendly. Have had no customer service issues. My only complaint is with their billing which is very vague. They do not show kwh usage each month so you can't track your usage. Also, I was told that I would receive a notice 45 days prior to contract expiration. I never received that notice so I am facing going from a 7.0 rate to a default rate of 11.78 rate. ”

“  Over all direct energy is fine, but don't select online billing only, you can't read
your bill so select both online and paper bill.. ”

“  It would be very beneficial to offer budget billing to your customers. Considering going back to aes because of this. ”

“  We searched out Energy Harbor for electric service in early July, 2021 in order to receive the competitive pricing. All information was submitted and to be effective for the July 19th meter read. However, there was a billing error and we now are enrolled as of the August 19th meter read. Now we have missed out on a month of Energy Harbor's lower rate. Added cost for this billing error ~~ $50.00.- amount to be saved with E.H. rates. ”
