Review from Gaurav Singh

Excellent Service
I had to delete my 2 stored payment methods as I had to cancel my service due to relocation from USA to India and I got all the help and support from Kesley to remove those, Even though I am not a direct energy customer. Thanks to taking care of my request and you guys rock when it comes to assisting the customers.

Selecting Direct Energy
I chose Direct Energy because of price and no cancellation fee. Signing up was easy but creating an account and other online experiences were unsatisfactory.

First year cheaper, second year wow
The fee for this third party provider is double my actual gas bill from PSEG. Was never paying more than 80 per month before switching to them, and wasnt for the first year. Second year? The charge for using them was 80 dollars and my actual energy use was 40. Huge mistake switching to them. Ive promptly switched back.

RIP-OFF
This company will rip you off I realized my payment was tripling. When I call to find out why they said because I didn't call to renew my plan. My plan went from 9% fixed to 14% variable. I do not recommend this company I will not ever use this company again please stay away from this company... BIG A$$ RIP-OFF!!! NEVER AGAIN!!! WILL CHEAT YOU OUT OF YOUR MONEY, AND WON'T EVEN TRY TO ACCOMMODATE YOU.
