Best energy company

(5 / 5)

  After being with maybe 3 other companies, and receiving horribly high bills, we decided to make a change. My mother suggested Direct Energy and everything has been great since then. During the summer, we receive low bills, ones that are "almost to good to be true". But there is no surprise, it ends up being exactly that. I love this company. During winter, we also get incredibly low prices. Right now, we have a wonderful plan where we received the nest and a great plan for three years. Thank you, Direct Energy!

Best choice we could have made

  Online chat for transferring service was so easy. I was having a hard time online verifying new address, but upon chatting with Kelsey she helped me process change. She was fast and had no problems what so ever!!

Great service

(5 / 5)

  EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE! Paige is the person I spoke with today on my live chat and she was Awesome! The plan I renewed with was the Give Brighter Plan. The Give Brighter is a plan that includes a Luci Light for our home. This is a solar powered, inflatable, waterproof light for you to use in your home. In addition, as part of this rate, they donate one of the Luci lights on my behalf to a family in a developing country that lives without electricity. Whereas, the Live Brighter is just our regular everyday plan without any promotional items. The price per kilowatt was exactly the same (which is still cheaper than the other guys) and we're locked into this rate for another year. The Luci Light program is wonderful and it gets you a free light too! WAY TO GO DIRECT ENERGY!

Hi Tiffany! Thank you so much for the kind words. We are so excited that you enjoy the Give Brighter plan as much as we do. Please be sure to share this with your friends and family, and provide your referral id number so after they enroll with us, you can get a referral credit and they will also get a referral credit! Thank you for the feedback. Have a fantastic day! -Cole

Chat Online

(5 / 5)

  I am a new customer, I had some concerns, because I spoke to a lady with a very strong accent and couldn't understand her. I decided to view my contract online and had some questions. I decided to chat, rather than talk to somebody that I wouldn't be able to understand. I chatted with a wonderful lady by the name of Paige and she answered all my questions and concerns I had. Thank you Paige!

online chat

(5 / 5)

  I have phone anxiety, so I went to the online chat. My contract was up, and I wanted to see if there were any lower rates. Kelsey was so helpful, I found a lower rate, and I had no anxiety! Super easy, super helpful, and super fast!

Help with selection of Military rates.

(5 / 5)

  The Direct Energy Chat contact was able to walk me (an existing Direct Energy customer) through the selection of the available Military rates offered, and where the Direct Energy software left me at a dead end with no way to obtain the rate I wanted, was able to verify my Vet status and get me signed up for the renewal rates. The representative was polite, knowledgeable, did a Good Job!

Happy Vet
