Infinite Energy: My Experience

(2.2 / 5)

  I had infinite energy for 6 months. I attempted to use their autopay system and was continually behind the payment schedule (at first it was blamed on a delay between when you set it up and when it goes through, later it was blamed on my card itself, which was fine.) They did remove late charges when asked, but when they cut my power off 2 weeks before a payment was due I decided I had had enough. I called them and told them to reconnect the power and then 5 minutes later decided to switch companies. When I called back, they said that the power had already been reconnected and to disconnect now would cost a total of $60. $20 for initial disconnect, $20 for reconnect, and $20 for final disconnect. I could not dispute this and will now be paying them $60 dollars. This company does not provide customer service after 5pm, has an awful autopay system, and will disconnect your power without notifying you (they said there was a notice sent via mail. I have not received it.) Major inconvenience. Great pricing though!

Hi, Scuba, I know this is an old review, but I wanted to check in with you. With autopay, the system does only apply it for future bills that generate, not any charges already on the account--we've worked to make this clearer now when you enroll. We also extended our service hours to 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Central. We do attempt to call customers when a bill is past due, and we do send a letter as well, so I'm sorry to hear that was unexpected. Sorry for any confusion, and please check in with us if you still have any questions.

Horrible

(2.2 / 5)

  Just try calling 1-866-5878674. It's a joke. Long delays I between selections. You'll get disconnected for no reason. No call back when you leave your call back number Ect. Plus i am reporting them to the PUC for charging way more than stated on the facts sheet. Just switched to stream energy. Forget about the 2 $75.00 gift cards for the 2 accounts I had.

They will nickel and dime you on late and disconnect charges

(2 / 5)

  Once you are late with a payment for a day, they will put a $10 late fee on you and send you a letter in the middle of the billing cycle and if you dont pay their $10 late charge immediately, they will put another $10 late charge, and then send you an intent to disconnect letter for which they will charge another $10. This is ridiculous and on a boarder with harassment. I will disconnect from them as soon as my contract is over!

No notice, No email, No text message, No electric

(2 / 5)

  In this day and age of internet, text messages, emails, instant everything....Not this company. Didn't even try to hide the fact that they are disconnecting people with no notice for the reactivation fees. How american of them. Greed just trumps everything. They wont have this customer much longer. I'm an apartment manager and will never refer this company to anyone ever again. Powertochoose.org people. Don't choose this company. A simple phone call text or email could have prevented this relationship from ending. No more referrals from my apt communities and no more money from my household. BYE FELICIA

Your frustration is understandable. The problem with the Power To Choose.org is that the only focus they have is about the rates.
Here at Texas Electricity Ratings, we've reviewed hundreds of plans and can help you find a great Houston electricity rate. Just check out our 'Recommended Plans' and you can get a competitive, fixed-rate electricity plan without spending hours of time researching.

worst possible customer service

(2 / 5)

  I have literally had ONE nice experience with CS seriously to the point that I am willing to pay the early disconnect fee just to not have to deal with them. Literally do not GAF about working with people in difficult situations. Condescending and rude
