    This company is very deceptive with their prices. I think they are cause if they had full disclosure, people wouldn't use them. When I talked to them they played on the 13 cents they offered and they're correct its lower than anyone else. What they leave out is that TXU is add to your bill for a delivery fee at a minimum of $100 dollars and that fee increase when you use more energy. One time it's $100 the next I could be $125. So your $100 electric bill turns into $225. So whatever your bill is from Cirro they add a delivery of a minimum $100. Then you have to argue about that not being disclosed.

    So then I switch companies and now I have an $800 cancelation fee. And I've already sent them $50 on that but apparently that's not paying it fast enough and on their timeline, so they already sent me to collection even though I made payment towards paying it off. They don't care about the customer. All they care about is the money. Like most people have $800 to pay that immediately. So if you go with them and end up with a $500 or more bill like I did, to end up finding up about the surprise extra fluctuating charges like I did, you were warned. So if you live in North Texas area stay away from this Trash company.

    If I was able to I would give 0 stars. Horrible. Just horrible customer service, they speak to you as if you’re an ** and is very condescending. I only used 169.00 worth of electricity but they charged me 377.00 plus and 84.00 charge they never told me about. I don’t know how they are getting away with this, but they need to be investigated and put out of business. There are dozens of bad reviews from CIRRO. More bad than good. Please stop this business, somebody with the power to need to investigate immediately. Trust, I am not the only one that feels this way. How they are in business baffles me.

      This company recently took over. My previous service provider has not honored the original contract, which was $249 per month. Since the transition, my experience with them has been extremely disappointing. They have shown a complete lack of customer care and flexibility. When issues arise, it is nearly impossible to reach someone who willing to help or resolve the problem. Their representatives are unprofessional and seem more focused on collecting payments than assisting customers.

      Despite my efforts to communicate and make reasonable payment arrangements, the company refuses to cooperate or offer any understanding. Instead, they threaten disconnection for even the smallest balances once cutting off my service over just $23. Their practices feel unfair and inconsiderate, especially compared to the reliable and respectful service I received from the original company. Do not use them. Rip off company. I will be reporting to BBB.

      After 17 years being a loyal customer, who paid their bill on time with Cirro Energy, I hang my hat up on this one for good. A year ago, I Googled a nice review for this company because I had yet to receive bad customer service from them until 90 Days ago. I held off thinking that the customer service was having a bad day or just slow business. Wrong, I learned what the customers who gave low reviews of Cirro lack of good customer service meant.

      Today, they have lousy, rude, unprofessional, thieves for customer representatives, which makes them the worst utility company to give your hard earn money to. Within the last 90 days, they have manage to rip me off for over $3,000 plus keep my $500.00 deposit which by word of mouth says after you are a customer for two years the deposit is supposedly returned to you, but they have no paperwork to support that. So if you put up a large deposit to get their service, expect not to receive it back.

      No help from the Public Texas Commissioners on this either. There is nowhere in Texas to stop these thieves from stealing your deposits, and regulating these high utilities bills. We the people of Texas have NO HELP!!!! If you have Cirro Energy, RUN, RUN, RUN... After being a loyal customer for 17 years, and over paying for utilities, I give up after this last 90 days stretch. Good Luck for all you who signed up for this nightmare. A 17 Year Old Formal Loyal Customer, but Never Again.

      Cirro has the worst customer service EVER! We pay our money to this company but we can not get any customer service. Consider getting an electric company that has representatives that can help you when you need help. I asked for a supervisor, and he didn't have a clue what he was doing. He said he was located in Mexico. Talked to another supervisor who was in another country, but he wouldn't say what country he was in. Probably the Philippines somewhere. These customer service are sitting at home getting paid, and they could care less. They tell so many lies! They are going to cause Cirro a lot of money when lawsuits come up. I will be one them.

      I am an attorney, and I am writing up paperwork now to sue them. I also have the call recorded. I told the representative I was recording, and they all said, "Ok, oh well." It's sad when we Americans are the ones keeping this company in business, but they will not give us customer service. Please don't consider this company!!!

      Absolutely the worst company. Have been charging us double TDU charges and when I contacted them about it, they tried to tell me “well, that’s just how it is” I have owned 3 business locations and a home and none of the other companies I have used have ever charged more than the established Centerpoint TDU delivery charge. They had to transfer me to 3 different costumer service agents because no one could figure out why I was being charged more. Last agent told me, “well I don’t know what to tell you, I’ve been on this business for 18 years and that’s just how it is.” DO NOT USE CIRRO.

      We signed up with a 3 year contract back in May of 2023. The last time they billed correctly was Dec 2023. Though starting in Aug of 2023 it became "iffy"... I gave them the benefit of doubt and called to advise they made a error. I advised that because I wasn't making the 2000kwh for a couple of months, it looked like it kicked out my contract price. Even when I was over 2000, they were still charging the same price as if I was below 1000 - anyone that has reviewed the EFL or whatever it's called, knows this is all horseshit to begin with, but we play this stupid game.

      They advised that because of Oncor Emergency Preparedness -ONCOR's charges increased, but that it will be coming back down since the winter of 2023 was not as bad as predicted. They referred me to Oncor to have this adjusted. Oncor doesn't have customer records. They do not deal with the public at all other than repairs. They do not even have a billing system for service for us regular folks. This pissed me off, but I let it go. Thinking the corrections would arrive. They did not.

      After several months of improper billing, I called back. I was given the canned text of "Our price has remained the same. The price you signed up with. It has not changed." Regardless of anything I said, they simply repeated that same line. VERBATIM. The additional charge is Oncor's fault. You need to call them. Yes, having worked for the phone company for many years, I am fully aware of the charges that increase and rather than the company pay them, they pass them on to the customer. However, my 3 year contract is with Cirro. There is an ETF if I leave. I honor my contract. They breach theirs.

      The contract I have is NOT WITH ONCOR. I don't care if Oncor raised their service provider fee to Cirro by 1 BILLION dollars. My contract (between Cirro and myself) is for 11.5 cents for 2000+; 12.5 for 1000-1999; and 13.8 for 500-999. That is my contract. Simply honor the crap you're selling. Simple as that. Stop with the, "well, when Oncor raises our rate, we transfer that increase to all our customers, else we won't make a billion dollar profit on every 100,000 customers." (numbers are exaggerated or spot on, I don't really know, but you get my point)

      I do not recommend this company. I understand that the prices everywhere are insane and they will more than likely get you with a lower rate, but be prepared to be screwed. Maybe in the long run it will all average out (the cost of another company whose charge is higher today, but will be lower in a year vs sticking with them) But remember, you won't be able to switch unless you want to pay them $400 for an Early Termination Fee. When they can't be bothered to honor the contract you signed, shouldn't they pay us the $400 for breach of said contract?

      I also do not recommend them because their customer service is horrid. They do not listen, they just read canned text from a screen. They believe there is no management system in place and that any billing issues can just be referred to Oncor (or whoever the main provider - this is who comes to actually FIX downed lines and service ie AEP, CPL, whoever), who I assure you, CAN NOT help with billing. I know several people who use Cirro who are also extremely unhappy. The list of "why" is long.

      I am having to get an attorney. Cirro stole money from me and refused to take accountability for their mistake. My bank confirmed that I made a payment that was never returned, but Cirro insistS that it was a returned payment, even though the payment has been out of my account for more than a month. I had to cancel my contract or I would be without power because of their mistake because my bank wouldn't be able to return the money disputed until after my power would be turned off and I don't have $300 lying around until then. I was charged an additional $400 for canceling the contract, but had no other choice. This has lowered my grades in classes due to the constant back and fourth. They WILL NOT take accountability and be happy to steal from you.

      Don’t anticipate cooperation from them. I was a loyal customer for three years, always paying my bills promptly. However, due to a barrage of emails indicating that my contract was nearing its end, I unintentionally switched providers a bit too soon. Despite my polite attempts to communicate with them, they declined to waive the early transfer fee or offer any form of compromise. That is their choice. Interestingly, they mentioned that if I were to return, they could dismiss the fee. But, this would result in a penalty from my current provider. In the end they get $200 for nothing but lose a customer for life.

      Cirro is pushing a home warranty for AC, alliances, and electrical wiring. DO NOT BUY this product. Allied Warranty is the warranty provider and it is a FRAUD. Shame on Cirro for even selling this CRAP. After 2 + weeks of getting the run around after they came out and advised that a new AC coil was needed, I can't get anyone to give me answers. It is a reflection of Cirro's poor judgment in getting into a business deal with a company that is engaged in deceit.

      I've been with Cirro for several years and for the first time I didn't receive a bill for months and then all of a sudden I started getting disconnection notices with different dates and amounts. I called them to ask the correct amount because when I tried to pay it online the amount was different than on the invoice. In the process, I simply asked the rep if their billing issues had been resolved and she proceeded to ask me what billing issues. I told her I hadn't received a statement in months and when I did it was all different amounts with different dates.

      She basically lied and told me that there were no issues. I had to finally explain to her the situation and get answers before she admitted the mistake. I got more notices later that month. I called again to verify the amounts and dates as they were all varied again. I asked the rep again if the billing issues were rectified. He proceeded to again lie and ask what billing issues. He told me that sometimes they let their longtime customers go months without paying their bill. Now we all know that isn't true. I simply wanted to know if the billing issue had been resolved so that I could know if I needed to start calling or what but no one could ever admit to it being a billing issue. One of my biggest issues with customer service is never lie to the customer. If you or your company made an error, admit to it, take accountability and people will respect you so much more for it.

      I had been a customer for years. In October of 2019 I received an email notifying me that a payment was not made on AutoPay. It seems my card on file had expired. I went to their website and made the payment with my new card and updated my card on file for autopay. The site was glitchy and I had to re-enter my information twice before it registered. So now it is January 6 and my service has been disconnected. Since I am on paperless billing I receive a communication through my email. Apparently something went wrong with the autopay yet I was not notified by email. Instead they just added late fees for two months and sent a disconnect notice in the mail some time in December. Since my mail is being forwarded at the moment I only received the mail today January 6. When I explained I that I received no notification by email and that the website was having problems I expected them to remove the fees and reinstate my service.

      My customer service representative for this transaction was Nestor and the supervisor he consulted with the issue was Jorge **. Apparently Mr. **and Cirro wish to take no responsibility for their problematic website and offered no reconciliation for the fees or the lack of communication that anything was wrong with the account. I will never use Cirro again. I paid their little 160$ fees and am taking my business elsewhere. I hope this helps someone choose a better company to do business with. You have many options and this company takes no responsibility for their own issues nor do they appreciate their loyal customers. I hope they go out of business soon.

      I am new to Texas and I contacted CIRRO Energy because the previous owner of my home had use them. I started service on 11/7/2019 before the previous owner disconnected his service. Everything was going well until 11/11/2019, My husband and I had a contractor checking our plumbing at the house. I had just taken my diabetes medication. We had just walked into the kitchen to begin preparing our breakfast when all of the power in my home went out. 11/11/2019 9:00AM electric in the house was turned off. 9:15 AM I immediately called Cirro and was told that there is a power outage in the area and our power would be restored sometime today. When I insisted for her to check further, I was told that I had to contact Oncor. I went outside and asked my neighbors to the right and left of me did they have power and they had power.

      I called CIRRO back and spoke to Supervisor Glinda and explained that there was no power outage in the area but our power was out. She informed me that there was a request to disconnect service. I explained that just enrolled on 11/7/2019 so how is there a disconnect after four days and I did not request a disconnect. She said she would get services turned back on that day. I asked her how long it would take? It was 9:22AM. She said that it would take 2 hours for ONCOR to get the call and then another 2 hours for them to turn it on but we would have service sometime today. I informed her that I am a diabetic and need expedited services at which she said there was nothing she could do. But she will give me a $10.00 credit. I felt insulted and told her that $10.00 don't help. I need my electric restored. She said it will happen sometime today.

      I hung up and called ONCOR and spoke to a Supervisor who informed me that there is something that she could have done. She could use SafetyNet that is specifically designed for this type of situation to expedite my services. All she had to do was put the information into SafetyNet and it would generate an email and they could have had my services restored within an hour. He also confirmed that the disconnect order came in to terminate services on 11/10/2019 at 3:03PM from CIRRO. I called CiRRO back and spoke to another Supervisor, Daniel at 10:26 AM and explained the situation. He informed me that someone requested for service to be terminated on 11/11/2019. The request was sitting in the system when I switched the services over.

      My question was how was there no termination of that order when I established service on 11/7/2018. I established service under my name that is different from the previous account holder and they gave me a new account number. He said that they could not stop the order on someone else account. In order to get the service back on, he had to re-enroll me which meant that Glinda never put the order in and now an hour has been wasted. He re-enrolled me with a new account number. During his enrollment, he read the script that said that I would have to pay the disconnect fee, reconnect fee and some other fee. I told him to waive those charges. When I asked what happens to the electric bill from 11/7/19 to 11/11/2019 since they couldn’t stop the termination on someone else’s account. I suspected that they would probably double bill both of us. He said I will get a final bill.

      I told him that I dispute the final bill since I cannot make changes and they could not override the termination for my account that I did not request. In that case, I feel that I am not responsible. He set up the order and said it was pending. When I asked him to expedite the authorization to ONCOR because the supervisor was waiting for the order to come through, he said there was nothing he could do. He could not use safety net because I was a new customer. He said there was nothing else he could do even though I was explaining that the Oncor Supervisor was on the other phone and telling me that SafetyNet is designed to correct errors like this. I told him that I was unhappy and not satisfied with his services and requested to speak to his supervisor. He told me that he would email him and his supervisor will contact me within 24 hours. There was nothing more he could do. He had put in the order.

      I asked him if this was the type of service that I can look forward to with this company and he still maintained that he did everything that he could. At 12:14PM I called back and got supervisor Hector and explained the situation. He confirmed that the order was pending in the system but would have to be verified by someone then it would go to Oncore for delivery. Meanwhile the supervisor from ONCOR was waiting for the order to connect us. Hector told me that it will take two hours and another 2 hours for Oncor to come out.

      During the course of the phone call the electric was restored. I think the Supervisor at Oncor stepped in because Hector was still waiting for the third party to verify my pending order. Hector then told me that they have until 5pm or the next day before I will get services. The fact that I was a diabetic had no urgency to him. My condition would have to be verified and he would send me the forms via email to have the doctor complete. After I hung up, I called and switched to Reliant Energy. I am not paying any bills, cancellation fees, reconnect fees, or disconnect fees from this company. They had very poor customer service. Everyone followed the same script. “They understand but there is nothing they could do.” I just think that no one wanted to admit they made a mistake and because it was a holiday, they didn’t want to do any additional work.

      I have been with Cirro for over five years. They’ve had the lowest rates and I’ve never had an issue with the customer service. Until my renewal came up last February. I was convinced to do average billing for a year to keep my rates low and constant. The customer service agent calculated what my payments would be every month for a whole year. It came out to be “around” $114 per month. Not bad for a 2000 square foot home in the middle of summer! Yes, please. Sign me up! Well... the first month was as promised. But slowly my bill has been getting higher, and higher, and higher to where I’m paying nearly $215 for the month of November when last year the bill was less than $64. I then called in to find out why I'm not being charged the announced $114 and was told I was not on average billing, but on a month to month plan. I was then told to change to a fixed yearly plan for 12 mo, which I did.

      However I still am being charged over $200 for $80 of actual usage. When I called in I was informed I'm still on average billing! then the agent tried to convince me I was saving money by being on this budgeting tool which now was no longer a plan. When I asked to be removed from average billing I was told I would have to pay the lower rates I was not charged (this has been the most expensive year in charges despite having the same usage as previous years). Cirro practices dishonest pricing practices, fooling customer into 'plans' that allow them to charge more money for the same service. Please do not sign up thinking you are going to get a lower rate.

      Changed my energy provider to Cirro, and in all the hassle, forgot to pay the first bill. Instead of sending a payment reminder like every other company does, they disconnected the service. Customer service claims they sent an email and a paper notice. Neither of them came through. I NEVER trash any emails coming from companies I’ve got contracts with, so I am 100% sure after triple checking, that there was no reminder. And no paper notification either, I was told to check with the postal services. I hope they have existing email notification system in place for payment reminders, otherwise we sure will be going through this same discussion and our relationship will be short lived!

      Cirro messed me up with the plan I thought I was enrolling in, canceling my contract, and now not posting my first bill. I wish I had read reviews. I have to deal with these for the next 12 months. Please be aware. If you want the $50 credit, do it online. Do not trust any rep you speak to. Some will tell you what you want to hear.

      CIRRO Energy is the biggest mistake we've ever made in choosing an electric company. They are known, to me, for their "Price Gouging" (price gouging is a pejorative term referring to when a seller spikes the prices of goods, services or commodities to a level much higher than is considered reasonable or fair, and is considered exploitative, potentially to an unethical extent). I will never enroll in their services again (even if they are the cheapest at the time). 9 percent rate went to 14 automatically and quickly & without real justification ($200 bill to $450 in a flash and nothing you can do about it).

      Customer Service experience was a joke. We've used Stream Energy and several other electric companies in our lifetime and when our contracts ended with them they renewed it at a higher rate (month to month like everyone else does) but the rate increased a couple of cents "for years"... BUT NOT CIRRO, they almost doubled our rate (according to their CS it was basically done... because they can). I'm all for profit but what they did to the rates feels like robbery. I plan to contact Public Utility Commission about my experience with CIRRO (on 2 different properties we own they did the same thing). This doesn't seem right or legal (otherwise all the other companies would be doing it!).

      Just like Tammy of Tyler, I canceled my account with Cirro Energy December, 2014 and paid it in full. Cirro even confirmed this over the phone. I was sent a notice entitled Final Bill, which I paid in full. However, in the past two years, I've been contacted by two collection agencies which claim I owe Cirro money. It's not even the final payment they are referring to! It's the August, 2014 payment! The first collection company closed the account because they couldn't substantiate it - since it was paid in full and I sent the cancelled checks for proof.

      That was February, 2015. July 26, 2017 I received a notice from a second collection agency on the same account. Now I'm having to fight them! When trying to reach Cirro Corporate office, I only get Mexico... they say they don't have the corporate office phone number. I requested to be transferred to the corp. office or to the Richardson, TX office, after being transferred three times, all to Mexico, they hung up on me!! Do yourself a favor and stay away from Cirro Energy!

      My contract with my current provider was expiring. I thought shopping for a new provider and switching would be overwhelming and put it off till the last minute. I asked my current provider for their best rate and I was about to renew. Then I saw an ad for Cirro Energy on TV while I was getting ready for work and later that day, I saw something in my social feed. I clicked the link on a whim and the plans were simple and had low rates. Literally TWO minutes later I was signed up! The best part is I didn't even have to call my current provider to cancel, they did it for me. Also, in less than 5 minutes I had a confirmation email outlining everything. I can't believe something I put off for so long was so EASY! I should have switched sooner.

      I used this company in 2014 and had a good experience. Basically, they didn't cut off my power and I never missed a bill so never had to contact them. When I signed up again in 2016, it looked like the company had changed. Their logo, website, everything was different. I can't speak of their customer service before, but now it is provided by untrained (uncaring) high school age kids who could care less if they help you or not. Further, they will lie, they have changed my due date by a week and immediately started their disconnect letters again to the point that they harass and embarrass you with disconnect letters that are premature and unwarranted. My credit score stays between 825 and 842 on Credit Karma.

      In 58 years I've never missed any bills, ever. But, the mentality of people here to harass you when they think the payment is 1 or 2 days past due is unacceptable. Their system is not up to date and you would have to make a payment 3 or 4 days before it's due in order to ensure not receiving disconnect notices. It's not considerate and it's such that I cannot recommend these people. I signed up for Source Power and Gas and weeks later received a letter that they were no longer servicing accounts and I would be passed to Cirro Energy. I had to change again because I will NOT do business with this people.

      They are very nice to me and are always ready to help me with anything that I need help with. They are always kind and patient with me. The amount I have to pay for the services is reasonable. So that is why I don't have any problems with it. It is a good bargain to use the services. It seems to even be worth more than the price that is supposed to be paid. It is a certain thing to be able to count on. It is always there when I want it and it always works when I want it to. That good to have.

      They have a great customer service. They go out of their way to help you and are very friendly. The bill accuracy was good. It was very easy to read and understand what I was being charged for unlike other companies that it seems to be in foreign language. The value is great. Way better than other electric companies that I have used. It seems to be that you get great value compared to what you are paying for. No problems at all and there was no outages. Great and awesome reliability. I'd recommend because it is very reliable.

      Customer service is great. They take care of you. You're not on hold forever. They take you to the direct department that you need to get to without the whole time and when you get to that department you're satisfied. The bill accuracy is great. It breaks it down to every usage. Easy to understand and does not have all the confusing usages that Southern California and the gas company have. The value is great. We don't spend a lot with the Southern California Edison and the gas company we were spending triple amounts and we are spending now. It's great we don't have outages. We don't have the people coming out to shut it off and on. We don't have them calling us to let us know if we're late. It's just no hassle.
