Sorry I left Direct Energy
(4.2 / 5)
“
I made a big mistake and switched from direct to txu my bill jumped from 90$ in nov to 318$ in dec. that is without heat because my heater had been boken since last july. Since then the bill has only gotten higher. No one at txu will talk to me or explain why. As soon as my contract is up at txu im switching back. This month my bill was 418$ That is almost half my s.s. check. I cannot pay it so soon I will be without power. I am a 67 year old widow with health issues. ”

3 months for account to start defeats the purpose!
(4 / 5)
“
It is taking 3 months to swap over so I am loosing money by not changing service within a month. So far I have lost $350 Plus because of the delay! Eversource is a rip off for seniors and still needs to be addressed! If I can purchase the same electricity on the same lines it is being delivered on then Eversource then why and how can Eversource charge double! Government needs to wake up!! ”

Much Cheaper that what my Local Company Charges
(4 / 5)
“
Duke Energy (Cincy, OH) rates are Steep. When you go on their "Budget-Plan" (to avg your payments) you get a Balloon Payment come Spring for $800.00+, after paying avg $200-350 a month for a Balanced Gas/Elec home with 3 bedrooms. With Direct Energy. my monthly payments dropped to $190/mo and NO $800 Balloon Payment! ”

Good chat service, bad timing
(4 / 5)
“
Good, efficient service with Chat, but, two things: 1) they sent a renewal letter six weeks before my contract expired, but the website didn't consider me eligible to renew. Had to go to chat. 2) they should tell you in the letter that the rates offered on line are better than the ones available by phone (though only by a tiny amount). And, it looks as though the initial offer is a bit of bait and switch. The best rate has gone up 13.5% in a year. Or, is it just the economy? And, oh, yeah, it's a nuisance to have to renew each year, but what the hey, that's life. ”

Didn't realize I renewed
(4 / 5)
“
Everything with Direct energy has been pretty good. They provide an excellent and treat me respectfully. The one thing I am surprised about is that they mention they are glad I renewed with them. I didn't realize I renewed as nobody advised me of this. What I don't like are the extra monthly charges if I don't use any electricity and the carrier charges. Since i renewed I hope i got a good price on the actual usage charge. ”

Rate Change for Electricity
(4 / 5)
“
Contacted Direct Energy to check on rates, because my current plan was scheduled to expire. Used the Chat, because there was some discrepency in signing up. The chat rep (Melinda) helped me clarify some things and got me on the right track. Although I do have one little tidbit to add- If your a returning customer, there should be other cheaper rates for customer loyalty! ”
