Billing Reviews

“  I have been with Green Mountain Energy (GME) for over 6 years, and at one point I had 2 residences served by them in different towns. Whenever I needed assistance they have been very responsive, I have had no billing problems, and their customer service has always been top notch when I dealt with them. Unlike other reviewers, I have had nothing but good experiences with GME... except the rates. They have definitely been higher per kilowatt hour than some other providers, but that was a choice my wife and I made to support companies providing alternative and sustainable energy. That was not a problem for us then, but with the economic downturn, it got to be too much lately, and I started to switch to another company for a lower rate. I cancelled that contract during the 3-day approval period after seeing THEIR reviews. GME customer service called after seeing the switchover order, and we discussed the change. I signed a new 1 year contract with GME, and I got a significant RATE DECREASE in the process. The CS rep was very pleasant, helpful, and knowledgeable. Again, I have been and am still very satisfied with Green Mountain Energy. ”

“  Been with Spark since about 2007. No horror stories, no weird billing/meter issues. This seems like it should be a given, but it's not these days.Competitive rates, also enjoy the credit card auto pay - not everybody has that, you know. If you simply read and understand the difference between fixed and variable rate, are a person of average intelligence, etc., you should have no issues with Spark sign up and service.The one time i needed an email response for a question, I got a satisfactory answer in a day or 2. It seems they really cared.Been a happy camper. My only concern is that I think Spark's Residential service may be coming to a close for my Zip code (website only returns Commercial service hits now on my Zip). Hence I may need to find another provider that can give me *everything* Spark has given for the past years. Hard to do...One Co. might have good rates but no credit card auto pay. Another has cc auto pay but consumer horror stories... and so it goes. ”

“  I have been with Spark Energy for a long time. I don't even know how long. But they have worked with me on billing and I have even had an single individual work with me via email several times over email. Always very responsive and very helpful. I am currently comparing prices now that my contract is to expire with them on 10/13/11. I have noticed now that they are way down on the list on "Power to Choose" because they are higher than a significant amount of other copmanies. In the past they have always been consitently at the top because they had the lowest prices. I am disappointed that I will be leaving them. :( Who knows...I might regret it later and wish I had stayed with them. ”

“  When I started with Green Mountain, their customer service was personable, helpful, kind, and, courteous. I have been a GM customer for almost ten years. I freelance and there have been times when I have been late in paying, but I have never been disconnected, and have always paid in full. The FIRST and only time that I needed assistance with some extra time for my bill, I was met with a very rude awakening. I was told that the $20 charge on my bill was for "sending a disconnection notice", and that's in addition to the late charges. When I told her my situation, she made no reply whatsoever, and I listened to a mono-tone, heartless voice stating and repeating that I would have to pay in full, including the most recent billing, which was not late yet, or I'd be disconnected, obviously reading from a script. They have repeatedly raised my rate without my acceptance, as high as over 17 cents a Kw. I have referred many people to GM, but now I will warn them against it. BYE. ”

“  Switching and billing is simple and easy to understand. Customer service is great.
Would highly recommend to everyone. ”
