Home owner in CT

(5 / 5)

  The rates in CT have gone sky high. We decide to go with Direct Energy and we have noticed a savings in our first months billingso far so good. We have been using more sense by drying clothes on the line outside, using cold water whenever possible, and turning off lights and unplugging appliances to save energy.

An Excellent Choice

(5 / 5)

  My electric supplier First Energy is doubling the price of electricity so I selected Direct Energy. The switch was easy and I have a fixed price for electricity for the next 12 months.

Super easy

(5 / 5)

  The whole process was super easy. I confirmed my address and identity. Enrolled in one of their plans. And on the second billing cycle, my new rate was updated. I can't believe how easy it was. Eversource charged nearly double of what direct energy charges for supply. I'm still paying eversource on delivery because they own the infrastructure but these crooks are getting less of my money. Everyone in CT needs to shop around for supply. They often don't know that you can choose your supplier and simply bend over to eversource and their price gouging. I will shop around again once my term is up.

No problems for 13 years...knock on wood.

(5 / 5)

  I've had Direct Energy at my apartment for nearly 13 years and have had no problems whatsoever with them. I had a contract with them when they were Houston-based, but when a Canadian firm bought them out, they refunded my $250.00 deposit with credits during the summer of 2012 and have been month to month since. My rates have been ok, around 11 cents/kwh, maybe 14 during the summer add Centerpoint carrying charges and taxes and it comes to around 21 cents/kwh on a monthly basis. They try to get me to go for "free nights" but there's no such thing as free electricity. All in all, Direct Energy is one of the best deals out there, with very little interruptions and great service.

THE DOOR TO DOOR KIDS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD

(5 / 5)

  I just wanted to say, we have your service and we're happy but on Neighborhood app, people are submitting complaints they think the kids your company uses door to door to get families to switch their service providers, they think they are a scam,. Asking for our BGE bills and such. Maybe your should go into tv and tell our neighbors that those kids knocking on our doors happen to work for you and that what they are doing is legit. I know because that is how we switched from Constellation to Direct Energy.

Billing Error

(5 / 5)

  I was pretty happy with the company and the plan(Free nights 9pm to 9am) I have. On my latest bill, there is an error. On all my previous bills, you will see "FREE Usage xxx kWh and FREE TDU Charges" but not on the latest November bill there is no credit for "Free TDU Charges" . So the amount is more than double because the FREE TDU Charges" were not credited. I had been trying to contact the online customer service but they just don't understand the bill at all.
