Helpful Reviews
What is Vista Energy?
Vista Energy is a third-party company authorized by government-regulated utility companies like PG&E to sell and distribute electricity and natural gas directly to customers. If you’re in a residential area in California, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Nebraska, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania or Wyoming, you can have Vista Energy purchase your natural gas or electricity for you and distribute it to your local utility company’s pipeline network.
Vista Energy also provides commercial services in these nine states and in Arizona, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Washington.
How does Vista Energy work?
Vista Energy is considered a Core Transparent Agent, meaning it’s a deregulated energy provider that (ideally) lets you save money on your utility costs while still receiving service from your local regulated utility company. When you choose to enroll with a CTA such as Vista Energy, you pay the price established by the CTA rather than market price.
Vista Energy rates
Vista Energy’s rate plans vary by service area. While many find Vista Energy’s base rate comparable to local utility company rates, you may incur some unexpected costs like administrative fees. It’s important to read Vista Energy’s contracts carefully and review the welcome letter, which specifies administrative or miscellaneous charges. Contact customer service to address any questions.

Still have questions?
Is Vista Energy worth it?
Vista Energy is sometimes more affordable than regulated utility companies, depending on the fluctuating market rate, and it offers the predictability of a fixed rate for the duration of enrollment. If you live in its service area, are budget conscious and follow the market price of natural gas — and therefore can be vigilant in avoiding additional fees — you might want to consider Vista Energy as an alternative gas supplier.

They have drop my gas right and then allow me to switch to the cheaper rate and only pay for the gas. I used once it was no longer winter, which is very satisfying for my finances.. Customer service was knowledgeable, quick, had a great attitude and was very helpful.

I had to call to get my phone number changed so I can receive my 15 month reward. The woman I spoke with was super kind and helpful. She made sure I was taken care of and asked if I would take this survey. I said of course.
Thank you for the good rating.

Pushy sales felt like a scam. I’m honestly surprised to see anything indicating they are a legitimate business. I had a representative come to my door and try to rush me into signing up for Vista without even explaining what it was. She had me at the sign up page and was almost filling out the form for me before I could tell her that I needed to look into what in the world she was talking about before I signed up for anything. Signing up would have been a terrible decision, my gas bill would have gone from $12 a month to $1.50 a day…

Did not do my due diligence... smh as usual. Reading the reviews and neg neg neg. Now what I knew was bs was being told I'd get a $300 gift card to use anytime I wanted online. The welcome letter states no more than $50. The "quoted rate" is higher because my "average rate" with PG & E is higher. PG&E just expensive as shit. Only time I use any real amount of gas is in the winter. These companies use kids to train and lie to potential customers, the idiots, vulnerable ones though. Guess I'll wait and see.

After speaking with Chris from customer service I came to understand more clearly that the reason for unexpected charges to my account were related to the activities of PG&E. Chris handled my case well and did as much as he could to make things right. Overall I feel better about Vista Energy.

Sales guy assured me I would only be charged one one flat rate per month. When I received my first bill the rate was twice the promised amount, apparently the sales guy neglected to mention I would ALSO be charged “distribution fees” by PG&E. After calling customer service and experiencing more broken promises I cancelled with Vista Energy. Now, three months later I’m receiving a gas bill that is 3x higher than it should be because of “bill corrections” from the months with Vista energy. We’re already struggling financially and this is just heartbreaking. I feel helpless and hopeless.

This person was professional and took care of what I needed done. Gave me all of my options that I needed. Everything was done in a timely fashion and they put through the new rate and contacted me to keep me know it was done.
Thank you for the good rating Robin!

I had a sale rep come to my house and explain that I was going to pay cheaper gas. He was a fast talker and I got suckered in. I did the math and didn’t make sense for me. I immediately called to cancel and spoke to Kathy. She was helpful in canceling and didn’t push me to keep their service. I appreciate her help.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with our customer service agent.

I had no idea that PG&E was going to give us the Shaft, but it’s typical. I got a bill from PG&E for a delivery fee on the Gas burner, don’t have it delivered to our place. I called Vista and told them they dropped the price, Huge to offset the Bogus charge PG&E hit us with for delivery, which they do NOT even do. Typical like in the Army, I had to take a bit and ask for another.
Thank you for the feedback.

All lies. It made my gas bill higher and not less. Don’t recommend it at all. I give them 0 stars. They knock at your door. They don’t tell you about a 5 year contract. Just thinking about it makes me mad all over again.
