Charge/Fee Reviews

“  Thru "Apples to Apples" web-site found the term, rate, no fees' for Energy Harbor and signed up. Quick and easy ”

“  I was shopping for an alternative to Cirro because of their outrageous "electricity delivery" charges. A friend recommended Direct Energy. Best move I have ever made. Great rate, no hidden charges, and my first bill was over $130 less than my last Cirro! Even signing up for the 24-month plan wasn't an issue with the rates I was given. I will be a customer for many, many years if this stays the same. ”

“  I was very upset to see that my double the amount that usually pay per month, I called Frontier Utilities and to my surprise they answered immediately, the customer service agent David was very attentive and kind, he explained me the charges for the past 3 invoices, let me tell you. I felt really bad when I realized that I forgot to send my payment, I usually let my husband pay this bill, but since he failed to make the payment I will be taking over this duty. David also told me that I can pay online and he guide me how to register online to avoid late fees. I am glad I call and I was able to resolve this issue immediately.Alicia ”

“  I have been with StarTex almost two years and am completely satisfied. Their rates are always competitive, particularly when you add the hidden fees to other company's rates. I definitely plan on renewing my contract. ”

“  I have been with Startex for a couple years or more now, and have never had any problems with their service. Always helpful over the phone and have made it easy on me every time I've had to renew. And, from what I can tell, their rate is not always the lowest listed on "Power to Choose", but their cost is pretty straightforward...where as other companies appear to have quite a few different underlying fees. I try to find a reason to leave, but they keep pulling me back in ;-) ”

“  Overall I have had great service from Startex since I switched from TXU in 2009. TXU failed to notify me my contract was up and switched me to a monthly rate. At first I thought the high bills was just the hot Texas summer, but then I discovered I had been paying exorbitant rates with them after years of loyalty. So I decided to switch, did plenty of research and at the time found Startex to not only have great rates, but one of the lowest monthly base prices (this is where many companies get you - if you use below a certain amount - Startex is below 499 kWH - many others are below 700-1000. I use less than 499 about 2 months out of the year, but less than 1000 seven months out of the year.) Anyway, they have always sent me a notice when my contract was about to expire and at renewal my rates have dropped even lower each year. Recently, my husband left and divorced me and I needed to switch service into my name. The first rep I talked to when I called wasn't quite as helpful as others, but told me I needed to wait until closer to the end of the contract. When I got within the time frame I called back and got a wonderfully helpful rep who helped me open my new account and didn't charge any deposit fees. I'm also impressed that when people do post complaints on here they always respond - most other companies don't.I was actually being invited to join an MLM energy company, but after doing my research, decided not to do so and stay with Startex. (And yes, I am a REAL customer). ”

“  We have used Startex energy for the past 4 years and have never had a problem. Competitive rates, no surprise charges and have never had a reason to contact their customer service. ”
