Billing Problems and Complaints (464 reviews)
So far so good
“ I'm a year into the service locking in every 6 months with a 9.5 cent Kw/h rate. I live in a one story house and use about 1000 kw during the summer peak. My bill topped off at about $119 for August. During the winter it ranges anywhere from $35-$50.I was with a co-op previously and paying fluctuating rates depending on my energy use. The more I used the lower I'd pay per Kw/h. Idiotic if you ask me if the goal is to reduce consumption. I would pay anywhere from 11 cents to about 15 cents per Kw/h. Because I was conservative with my usage, I tended to pay closer to the 15 cents range. With GM, I pay a flat rate regardless so it's been really good to be paying a much better rate and green energy to boot. Service has been consistent without any issues and no issues with billing.There's a lot of negative reviews and I noticed that the majority of them are from the DFW area. I don't know what the deal is with that but I haven't had any problems with rates suddenly changing. I can't speak for customer service because I haven't had to use them. If things go sour, fortunately I'm in a deregulated area (Round Rock, TX) so I have about 30 other options for providers.I do have to say that I'm always skeptical when reviewers are not coherent in their complaints or "SCREAMING". There's always two sides of every story so who knows... as far as I'm concerned, I'm satisfied with the service and would recommend. ”

Pleased with the experience
“ Have good website, billing, and email communication... and saved a lot of money compared to my previous provider. Never had any issues. Don't know what it's like to call them, because I've never had a need to do so. I'm going to try another provider for a lower rate now that my contract is up, but I'll return if my experience doesn't match up to Spark. ”
