Lies, lies and more lies
“ Was offered a variable rate but told don't worry, we wouldn't want to lose your business, so we will be competitive and cheaper than what AEP charges. WRONG! And if the rate is high, was told to call them (Major Energy) and we will help you out. WRONG! When I called back to speak to the person who signed me up, was told no such employee existed. The supplier portion on my bill is 70% more than I would have paid had I stayed with AEP. I should have known better than to fall for the sales pitch. Don't believe their lies!! ”

Worst!
“
National Grid is hands down the worst service Ive ever dealt with in the U.S. Every time I call, the average wait time is 40 minutes. I scheduled a reconnection appointment a week in advance, and guess what? No one showed up. I called again the same day and the next available appointment was a month outafter another almost hour hold. Scheduled again, and no surprise, they no-showed again!
Whats the point of making an appointment if you just keep ghosting us?! National grid!
Called again today, right now! Ive been on call with the customer service for 2 hours and 14 minutes, as Im writing this review, the rep still hasnt been able to get me the next appointment.
National Grid makes all the money while we, regular people, get screwed over and over. If anyone knows how to file a complaint against this garbage company with the government, please let me know. Thanks. ”

Gouge you after introductory rate ends
“ Even if you change carriers before the introductory plan ends, there is a month or two for transition to take effect (which is horrible in itself). Rate more than doubled during that interim. Not worth 3 mos of low rate. ”

Avoid Xoom
“ I am nearing the end of one year with these grifters. I pay my bills through my bank every month. My bank shows proof of payment to Xoom on the 1st of every month. That is on average 10 days before Xoom says it is due. But, every month I am charge a $10 late fee for late payment". Their explanation? It takes them up to two weeks to process payments from a bank. Then they demand $200 if you try and cancel due to being overcharged. Xoom is a grift plain and simple and any jury in the state would agree. Also know our Georgia Public Service Commission wont respond to complaints about Xoom. Been using different gas suppliers over 30 years in Georgia and Xoom is the first to get away with such a blatant grift. ”

Beware end of promotion
“ We shopped for competitive rates during the 2024/2025 winter. We found an amazing promotional rate with American power and gas, around 0.07 KH. Well, the promotion expired and the rate increased, which was expected. What wasn't expected was FIVE TIMES increase from the promotional rate. A call to cancel was immediately placed but unfortunately it was Friday and after hours when we attempted to contact. A message was sent on the site as well as a separate e-mail to request so we'll see how that works. My intention is to call Monday, and if no resolution to contact PP&L directly. Very surprised of the cost especially considering the statement of sustainable energy. ”
