Over priced. Paid my bill and sent me an email stating that power had been restored , but it never came back on. Nearly froze throughout the night. Also they don’t have anyone available to talk to between 5pm and 9 am. That’s just unacceptable

Response: David, thank you for sharing what happened. From what you described, losing power after receiving a restoration message and spending the night in unsafe temperatures is an extremely stressful situation, and I understand how concerning it is when you can’t reach anyone outside standard business hours. The details you shared point to two important issues: the power‑restoration notification you received and the difficulty reaching support during the timeframe you needed help most. We want to look into both pieces with you to understand what occurred with your service status and ensure you get clear information about our communication process and support availability. Our Customer Care Team is available at 1‑888‑963‑9363, Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and we’re ready to review what took place and go over your account details so you have accurate answers moving forward. Thank you again for bringing this forward, David. We’re here to make sure you’re supported and get the clarity you need. Published on February 18, 2026
Worst company every other day I’m paying 30 totaling over 300 a month for a 1br/1bath. They tell u one price next thing you know you’re paying a higher price. They also charge 16-18 per kw which is extremely high I will be leaving them asap. Do not use this company you’ll be paying just as much as with a higher electricity company

Response: Ashley, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. The concerns you raised about frequent price changes and the kilowatt rate you mentioned stand out, and I understand how important transparent and predictable pricing is when choosing an electricity provider. Even though there isn’t an active account for us to review, we can still go over the type of plan you were previously on, how those rate structures work, and what may have led to the charges you described. From there, we can also walk through our current rate options and discuss what setting up a new account would look like if you decide to return. This helps ensure you have a clear picture of the available plans and can choose something that aligns with what you’re looking for. Our Customer Care Team is available at 1‑888‑963‑9363, Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and we’re ready to go through everything with you directly. Thank you again for sharing your feedback, Ashley. We’d value the chance to earn your business back and help you find a plan that better fits your needs. Published on February 18, 2026

If I could leave zero Stars I would. I just called customer service and spoke with a representative and I was trying to get help understanding my recent rates which she did explain but she was not friendly whatsoever. She was condescending and just had a really bad attitude. She was talking to me like I’m an idiot and acted like she was annoyed and bothered with my questions which in my opinion is the underlying basis of her job. I strongly suggest putting your “customer service Representatives” through a follow up/refresh course as to what being a customer service representative actually entails or at the very least trach them the basic fundamentals of what they were hired to do. Thank you.

Stay away from this company. They are scammers. They give you one rate then charge you for a lot of stuff that you have no idea of. Add additional charges on you that you didn’t obtain. Please stay away. Will do everything I can to get this word out. These people are gimmicks and scammers. These good ratings coming from employees that’s paid

Published on February 02, 2026
Response: Hi Ayanna, Thank you for speaking so directly about your experience. I hear how upsetting it is to feel like the rate you were given didn’t match what showed up on your bill later, and the concern you’re raising about charges you don’t recognize is completely understandable. When costs appear without clear explanation, it naturally creates a sense of distrust, and the strength of your reaction shows how seriously this impacted you. You’re bringing forward important concerns about unexpected fees, plan transparency, and whether anything was added to your account that you didn’t request. Those are real issues that deserve a clear, detailed breakdown so you can see exactly what each charge represents. Here’s what we can do to help: We can review your rate, recent billing activity, and any add-ons line by line. That will let us identify what each charge is tied to. Ayanna, your experience matters, and you deserve full clarity about your account. We're here to help you sort through the details so you can make the most informed decisions moving forward.

Response: Hi Isaiah, Thank you for laying out everything you’re experiencing with your bill—it’s clear how overwhelming it feels to see daily charges around $30.01, especially when you’re comparing that to what other providers advertise. Wanting to speak with a manager and consider going to the news really shows how strongly this situation has impacted you, and it’s important that your concerns are taken seriously. You’ve brought up real questions about the rate you’re being billed, how it compares to other companies, and why the cost feels so high. Those are valid points, and you deserve a clear, straightforward explanation of what’s driving the daily total on your account. Rates can vary depending on usage, plan type, meter readings, and any adjustments tied to the local utility market—but the numbers should always make sense when they’re broken down. I want to help you get that clarity. We’ll review your recent usage, the rate attached to your plan, and anything else that might be contributing to the cost. From there, we can go over options that may help lower your daily average or find a plan that works better for what you’re trying to manage financially. Isaiah, your situation matters—let’s take the time to look at the details together so you can get the answers and next steps you’re looking for. Published on February 02, 2026
