My sister has Direct Energy and she told me to get it. She said her energy bills were pretty cheap. She also told me that it was easy to set up and then she gave me the website. I went with it and the set up was fast. I set it up for the date and when I got here, it was on, so it was good.

Last November, I was trying to put electricity for my business. I had been with a company called Just Energy for almost 15 years, but they denied me this year. They wanted me to do a big deposit. I contacted different vendors and called Direct Energy. Direct Energy didn't hesitate and didn’t ask me for a deposit. They were the easiest company that I ever worked with. It took nothing but 24 hours and they got my electricity up and running. The contract with Just Energy on my house expired back in March. I just signed a contract for my house for five years and I have a contract for three years for the business.
Sometimes, when you call other companies, you can be on the line waiting for somebody to answer for about 40 minutes. And the next thing you know, somebody overseas answers the phone and sometimes you understand half of what they’re saying. However, Direct Energy's customer service is so nice that they even provide you with their personal numbers so that you can email or text them if anything was wrong with the service. That is something that I appreciate.

Everything is going well with Direct Energy. I was referred to them by my cousin who’s a customer as well. We recently changed our plan to the 12-hour power. I thought initially that we would have most of our charge on the weekend, but it ended up being the same. It’s a little bit more than what we used to pay, so it’s probably because of the increase in rate from that change of plan. I haven't really utilized the apps or the website more, but I would like to see some information on how we could lower the monthly amount like based from our usage.

Direct Energy is good and I like it. I had been using it for three years and initially, I had some package which didn't suit me. Plus, the charges are more. I told Direct Energy about it and they reviewed it and said it was not the package that I should have. They told me to have a different package and so I reduced my electricity bill from $50 to $35. They were quite nice, particularly the receptionist who walked through with me. She did all these good things.
Then this year, they said they wanted to renew my Direct Energy again. But I told them that I'm leaving on the 31st of May and moving to my daughter's place. I wanted to disconnect my service. But I'm very happy with Direct Energy and that's why I told my daughter about it and the benefits that we have with them. She called them and she got the connection of Direct Energy now.

My sister told me about Direct Energy and we've been with them for about six years. Sometimes, when I call somebody or somebody from Direct Energy calls me, I can't understand them. It seems like they're in a foreign country. They try to speak English and I can't understand them. It's kinda hard for me to communicate until I tell them to give me somebody who speaks English.
Before, we were paying around $500 a month. One time, we went on vacation and was gone for two weeks, but our bill was over $400. It didn't matter if we used electricity or not, they'd always charge the same thing. It was a big company and we had no choice but to go with that company at that time. As soon as we found another company, we switched to Direct Energy. We have been doing better. We can tell the difference when we don't use our electricity and when we use it. Before, we couldn't tell no matter what we used.
With Direct, we can tell when we're gonna have a small bill or a big bill because we know how much electricity we're using. In the summer, it would be a little higher at around $200 because we use the central air a little more and we can understand that. If we use it a lot, it might get up to $300, but very seldom. When we don't use electricity that much, the bill is only a little over $140. So far, we've been happy with them and would be staying with them for a while. We renew our contract with them once a year and we do it.
We appreciate your loyalty and business with Direct Energy since 2011, John. we appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback with us.

Direct Energy's service is good so far. I’m with free weekends. But that doesn’t help me in getting my electricity bill down. The bills are still out. Before, I used to pay for a month, 60 to 70. But since last year, it has gone up like 120. I discussed it with them and they were saying the charges for Texas have gone up. Also, a representative called me two weeks back about discussing a plan. But then that didn’t go through well.

This was one of the most frustrating experiences I have ever had in regards to dealing with a utilities provider. It began when I tried to sign a 4 month contract for electricity from their website. The website could not process the order and I was given a phone call from a representative shortly afterwards. I had a very hard time understanding the rep. Just before the last confirmation to complete the order was given, I asked if the contract I was signing was the 4 month contract. It turns out the rep. was trying to get me to sign a 15 month contract, even though I never stated that I needed electricity for 15 months. The rep. ASSUMED I would be okay with signing a 15 month contract when I initially signed for a 4 month contract.
After trying to explain that I only needed 4 months of electricity because, that's how long I was going to be leasing my new apartment, the rep. continued to attempt to convince me the 15 month plan would be better. I ended the phone call, letting her know that I would try the website again. Later I signed up for month to month electricity from their website, but was never given an email confirmation. I called that Monday asking why I was not given an email confirmation and was told that it was because I had signed up for the plan on the weekend and that it would take a couple of days for the email with my account information to be sent out. I was also given confirmation that the order for the electricity was approved and that the electricity would be installed on the required date.
I needed the electricity installed a very particular date because the apartment complex I was moving into required the electricity to be installed before I could move in. The day before I planned on moving into my new apartment, I gave Direct Energy another call to make sure that the electricity was going to be installed so that I could move into my apartment. I was given complete confirmation from a customer service representative that the electricity was approved to be installed on the requested date and I was also given my account number. I later tried to sign in to my account with my account number, only to find the account number was for a completely different person.
I called back and was told by the same rep. that gave me the account number that I was not going to have an account with the company because I was on the month to month plan. This was fine as long as the electricity was going to be installed on the requested date. The day of move in, I called Direct Energy asking for the email confirmation with the confirmed date and address for the installation and was told that my order HAD NEVER BEEN PROCESSED.
After having 2 confirmations that the electricity was going to be installed, I was being told that it was never installed. They suggested that I try to order electricity from their website again so that they could install the electricity that same day, but when I went went through the order process on their website, it could not process the order as before. It was then that I decided to go with Champion Energy and was able to have electricity scheduled to be installed that very day within minutes. In conclusion, it was a very stressful and frustrating experience dealing with Direct Energy and I hope I never go through it again.

They bought out Bounce, who I was originally with, so I just rolled with the buyout. Everything was kinda auto-rolled over and it was cool. When I dealt with the rep, it was straight to the point and it was fine. The only weird thing that I found, and it could be across the energy world altogether, is that when I re-up my contract, it's cheaper to go shorter contract than longer contract sometimes. It seems like they don't wanna log their customer in for longer.

I've had CPL for years. I called to renew my contract, and that’s how I got Direct Energy. Their customer service is fine. However, I had to close an account that was in my husband’s name and opened a new account, and they didn’t know what they were doing. It took me half an hour to 45 minutes to get everything done. The reps need to listen when you ask for something. That was the problem. I told the rep what I wanted to do, and she sent me to customer service, went through all the things of setting up a new account, then said she couldn't do that until the old one is closed. So, I had to start over.

At the new place that we were living at, they only gave us one option and it wasn't that great. We googled and went with Direct Energy. We do the free weekends, but the fixed rate is a little higher during the weekdays. So, we're paying still the same. It's a little high. We were thinking about switching to a different company, but I haven't taken time out to research yet. Other than that, it was easy to renew with them. We also have autopay with them, and their online access is easy. They send me a weekly email of my usage. So, it was cool.

I had used Direct Energy a few years ago and I did not enjoy their service. I thought their bills were high. At the time, we were having financial difficulty and I needed help extending my bill and they weren’t the friendliest. But I went back because all our contractors were saying Direct Energy was offering the best deal at the time, and I was like, “We’ll try it again.” It’s been a completely different experience this time. If they were looking to change their image, they’ve done that.
I’m happy right now because my electrical bill is really low. But the weather’s been temperate and we’re cognizant. Last summer and the summer before, our electrical bills were $300 and it’s been 87 for the last year. So, I love that. We don’t have any billing issues as well. I am set up on autopay, and so, it just comes out. The electricity was out a couple of times though, but that was not Direct Energy’s fault. We had an older transformer, and so, sometimes our block would go out and that was handled by Oncor. They came out and fixed it.

Direct energy was canvassing in the neighborhood and their rep, Billy, showed an interest in me as a potential client when explaining their service versus through a script of what they needed to say in order to get it changed.

I found Direct Energy through one of those websites where you put in your address and it tells you who is the cheapest provider. In the beginning, I decided to go with them because of the price. I have them for my business and my personal stuff. However, I was a little disappointed when I renewed after one year. I liked that they always send you the weekly usage statement. I was disappointed when it renewed that I was getting free weekends and yet there was no plan comparable in price that would offer that. So, to get the same price, I ended up having to lose the free weekend thing.
Nevertheless, I have used other electricity natural gas providers and the ability to communicate with Direct Energy was important to me. That was one of the things I stayed with because whoever I had before, you never could get a person on the phone and that aggravated me. I have left companies where you can tell that their call centers relate in a foreign country or that somebody can't communicate good. I don't want to struggle to understand a word of what you are telling me if we are supposed to be communicating, and I have never experienced that with Direct Energy.

Everything's fine, except when I renew the policy. It's a pain in the butt. Half the time, they get confused and they don't know what they're doing. I had to keep calling and they would say, "Well, it's not time yet, you had to wait till this day," or, "I don't know what I'm doing. Can you call back later?" And then I'd get renewed but they would call back to say it was time to renew.

My parents used to have Direct Energy and they had really good reviews. But they changed because the prices were changing and it was a lot easier to bundle up with another company. They also wanted do nights instead of weekends because they were mostly there at the nights. They wanted to change it before the advertisement for nights and weekends came for Direct Energy.
I called Direct Energy, asked about the prices, looked online a little bit more and then I signed up. It was easy and in a couple of days, they had everything set up for me. I can see my usage in the website which is a really good idea. But it's not super accurate and it's not very up-to-date as much as often. I wish it was a little bit more. Like in the summertime, when it gots here, I wanna know how much my AC is going. Usually it shows a flat rate and that doesn't really help me figure out budgeting.

I was very upset with Green Mountain. When they came over, they didn’t explain anything to me. I didn’t even get an acknowledgment from them. Then when I got my bill, it said that if I cancel before, it was $290 for the cancellation. I called CPL, an old bill that I had, and I was moved to Direct Energy. Up to now, I’m happy with Direct Energy. They were very nice to me and they waived the $250 that I had to pay when you cancel before time.

I got a little upset with my electricity provider so I switched to Direct Energy. It seemed very easy to sign up with them. That’s why I switched so abruptly.

We signed a three-year contract with Direct Energy. I live in a two-bedroom home. When I was just coming in this two-bedroom, my electricity bill was never $100. This time, it went up very high and I paid $170 something. I understand that I use more electricity now. But I never paid electricity for almost $200. There are many other companies that sell their electricity cheaper than Direct Energy. And there were a lot of other providers who told me that they would pay the breakdown fee if I'd come with them. So Direct Energy should be able to break the contract and reduce the cost for their customer. Direct Energy is not a bad company but they are also not the best company.

Some of my friends told me to use Direct Energy and it has been good, so far. I spoke with someone when I signed up and the process was super easy. But when I moved from one location to another and had it transferred, they started my year contract again even though I hadn’t finished my year. That didn’t seem right. Direct Energy was a little bit more expensive than the other places but they had free weekends. In the place I renewed, I’m only at home for two weekends a month. So, it’s perfect. I only had really cheap electric bill. This will be my first real bill at the new place since I've been laid off.

I am using Direct Energy for the last five years. I tried finding the other cheaper ones, but I didn't find anything, and it's also a hassle. So I stuck with Direct Energy. But their service is kind of bad. I don't like the customer service. Whenever I have questions, they don't have answers for that. They kind of have a weird attitude and I'm not satisfied with their customer service. They have to take care of their customer. If the customer is saying something, then they have to take it seriously and work on that. But every time, whenever I have any questions, they say I have to call a certain number. They don't give direct answers. They direct you to somewhere else. They must be knowledgeable in their things and about the questions that are asked.

I love Direct Energy. They had the lowest rate but they had it locked in for three years. That wasn’t too friendly but I locked in with them because it was a low rate. After the three years, their rate went up some but I stayed with them because whenever I'd have to call about anything, I'd get a really great experience. The customer service is always prompt and available. Normally, their contract lasts for one year now. They always send the email to renew with them a couple of months before and because I have the online portal, it’s not hard for me to pick a rate and renew. They don’t advertise much and sometimes when I tell my friend about it, they’ve never heard of them. Other than that, everything that they’ve been doing is awesome.

I do as much energy conservation as I can. I’m 70, and each time it’s time to look for a new plan, I try to see if I can find anything out there. like power to choose if I can get the bill lowered because as get older, every year, expenses go up and I’m on a fixed income.

We certainly never want our customers to be surprised at the rate they are paying, Sarah, nor do we want to transition a fixed-rate account to a variable rate unexpectedly. For these reasons, and as required by law, we send out an end of term notices to any account that has a fixed-rate contract expiring within the next 30-60 days (the requirements on when the letters must be sent vary by state). As a resident of the state of TX, you would have received your notice as part of your monthly billing and you will also check the variable rate on the current bill. The end of terms notice would have included the expiration date of the current contract, instructions on how to renew into another fixed-rate contract (either by phone, chat or via your online account) and the important disclosure that states if we do not hear from you by the expiration date, the account will automatically move to the month to month, variable rate pricing. Our goal is always to operate as transparently as possible and in the best interests of our customers. We look forward to the privilege of work on your account and to offer you the best deal!

My mom told me about Direct Energy and they helped me get the service without having to pay the deposit, so I thought that was really cool. That can be very helpful for a lot of people because people struggle sometimes. And when I signed up, I had to have proof of getting Medicaid for my children and tax in that. Then from there, it was easy. I gave them all my information and they hooked me up. Also, when I talked to their reps, they were pretty good and not rude.

I Googled how many providers are available in our area and Direct Energy was advertising free weekends, which I thought was pretty cool. But now that I’m looking at it, it’s very expensive. It’s only been months but the previous bill was the most I’ve ever paid. I was planning to call them after I get this bill for the month of March. Also, it’s hard to calculate all these expenses, like the delivery fee. Every energy company says they're only charging 11 cents a kilowatt or whatever but with the fees and everything, it’s more like 19 cents a kilowatt. It’s almost double of what is advertised.

I was with TXU for 16 years and every time I moved, I would just transfer my service. But my summer bill had been pretty high and they weren’t able to negotiate the price without me agreeing to a two-year contract. My daughter has Direct Energy and she sent me a referral. When she sent me her referral code, I clicked on the link and clicked the first available date to connect. Within a few minutes, Direct Energy sent me an email saying they were gonna notify my previous electric company and I have three days to change my mind. Then, they sent me another link telling me how to sign up for paperless statements and online bill pay. I've had the service for about a month. The statement was very easy to read compared to what I’ve been accustomed to. I preferred that statement compared to the eight pages I’m normally used to looking at. It was pretty direct and to the point. It showed how much my credit was for my free weekends. I liked it.

My mom has Direct Energy and she told me that her light bill was really cheap so I went towards the company as well. When I signed up with them, it was pretty fast. They're pretty much hands-on because they try to get you a plan where it fits you the first time. They found me a plan that it fit me really well and my bill was really cheap. It was good.
But when I had to renew, the person that was in charge that I talked to didn’t really have that much experience in trying to find budgets for me. I had to go onto their page then looked up for a plan that kinda fit me. I had to tell him and he didn't wanna give me the plan so I told him that that was plan that I wanted. But he told me that was based on certain watts. But I insisted that that was the one I wanted. He was trying to fight not to give me that plan because it was cheaper. That experience was the experience that I had recently that I renewed.
My wife called to renew because I was really busy at work at that time. They told her one rate of the light bill and never sent me the contract saying that she said the contract was set up. I called the second time. They then gave me another price on my light bill and I didn’t like that. They then signed me up. I was talking to the lady and she was asking if I wanted to sign up for an insurance that they had on there. I said I didn't wanna be signed up at all. She kept on repeating and repeating. I kept on saying I didn't wanna be a subscriber because they were gonna charge me money every month to be into the insurance. But she didn't care. She kept on doing her policy stuff.
When I checked my bill, they haven't charged me for the insurance but they enrolled me into the auto-pay that I really didn’t know. I got a message from my bank telling me that they withdrew the money without my consent. I told them I didn’t wanna be subscribed in the insurance or with the autopay. But Direct Energy still went ahead and did that. That was the only bad experience. The experience that I have with them now is not as bad although it’s been pretty bad these couple of times that I had talked to them. I've had a bad experience with electricity bills.
With the last time that I talked to the lady, if I said no then she didn't have to keep on repeating. I didn't want to do that. They should also try to find me the best option plans that I have payment-wise. Everybody nowadays is trying to save as much money as they can. I’ve talked to good ones and I’ve talked to bad ones. There were times that I've called and had a bad experience. Other days I would call and I have good experience. They told me everything that I wanted.
It was a couple of weeks back that I chatted with someone in their live chat and I told them that they could email me my bill on my home because I had to refinance my house. As soon as I said if they could do that, they sent it to me quickly. I liked that. I had no bad experiences with them. Everything else has been pretty good.
I recommend Direct Energy back and forth. I’ve gotten bills before saying that I’ve gotten money taken off my bill because of my recommendations going towards them. I tell others that this electricity bill’s really good and they go with the company. A couple of months back, my friends got their house and didn't know what electricity bill was really good. I told them Direct Energy is pretty much the best electricity that I’ve ever had. They’ll call you and tell you if anything’s wrong. I was called based on the customer service that I had with them. That’s good because with any other energy company, they don't really care about what you think. They just do whatever they want.

I’ve got three houses with Direct Energy. They put a temporary pole in the house I was redoing then when the house was almost complete, they put in their regular meter with a different meter number. I was trying to cancel the temporary one and I don’t understand why they can’t understand that I don’t need two meters at one house. I couldn’t do it on the phone. I gotta fill out all the forms then fax it, which most people don’t do anymore. But supposedly, it’s done. Now I'm sitting there paying two different meter bills. Other than that, Direct Energy has been all right and it’s better that we get the best price in our electric bill.

I’ve been with Direct Energy for quite a while. I talked with them and their numbers were lower than some of the others that I talked to. I’ve always had TXU and Direct Energy was lower numbers in the kilowatts so it made my electric bill cheaper. They have usually been good every time I called them. Last year I got ahold of one man and he was very rude. But other than that, everything is good with Direct Energy.

The salesperson was very convincing and they told me about all these good rates. I had them for three years and then I had to renew the contract. The rate went a little bit higher but I was kinda in a hurry, so I just told them yes. It's kinda high right now but we're not using too much electricity right now so we're okay. Their reps were pretty good. The house that I bought had a high voltage and they worked with me and they brought it down and they gave me all the money back that I kind of overspent because I didn't know about the high voltage. It was pretty good. They did the job and everything was nice.

Someone came to my door and said they were offering great rates at 3-year lock-in price and my bill was pretty high at the time. The sales rep was excellent, very personal, helpful and to the point. He looked at my correct bill, did a calculation to see what it might be with Direct Energy, and I agreed to switch.
