I don’t like that I get charged 5 dollars for making a payment unless I enroll in auto pay. If I can’t afford auto pay l, I definitely can’t afford 5 dollars just to pay you.

Response: Thank you for your feedback, Sarah. Payless Power does charge a payment processing fee if we are not enrolled in auto-pay. This payment processing fee can also be avoided by ensuring that we are paying $75.00 or more when making payments. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns by reaching out to us at 1-888-963-9363 during standard business hours. Published on June 09, 2025

If you require electricity, quickly at that – then I would highly recommend PLP, even though the prices are beyond absurd as it is 20 cents a killowatt and coming from the industry, the average cost per kWh is between 9-12 cents, therefore, PLP is BANKING off of those who either do not qualify for a 24-month plan with a REP (retail-electric-provider) – which is the apedemy of being taken advantage of OR they need power and do not have the time to wait 7-10 business days for Oncor (our electricity distribution provider in the DFW).

Response: Ms Alexander- Thank you for taking the time to post your comments. To summarize, you state that Payless Power is good if you need service fast or have no other options, but our prices are nearly double that of the average price offered by competitors. While its easy to see how such a conclusion can be drawn, it’s not an accurate assessment. Please note that payless Power does not uses tactics such as bullseye plans and large usage credits to deflate advertised rates. We also don’t use gimmicks like free nights and weekends to create a false illusion that the customer is getting something for free when that does not happen. Our rates are competitive with major providers . Visit www.powertochoose.org and review facts sheets companies with plans with prices that seem too good to be true. Also, feel free to call us at 888 963 9363 for any questions you may have. Published on June 09, 2025

Usage went way up and nothing has been changed in home.

Response: Ashley, thank you for reaching out to us. Usage going up can usually be attributed to the weather outside. The more it heats up, the longer our air conditioners will stay on to cool the home to the desired temperature. You can view a breakdown of your usage at smartmetertexas.com to see when you are using the most electricity. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns by calling us at 1-888-963-9363 during standard business hours. Published on May 29, 2025

i believe that during the winter i spend more than running air conditioning

Response: Steve, thank you for sharing your concerns. Heating a home typically does consume more electricity than using the air conditioner. You can always view a breakdown of your usage at smartmetertexas.com to see what times your home consumes the most power.
