Supervisors never call back, watch out tricky electricity facts label
“ UPDATE: Same day I posted the negative review Frontier Utilities replied wanting to hear my concern and hopefully resolve something. I provided them with the information they requested via email and they replied stating they would call me back at 4:05PM on 5/18. It is now 7:40PM and nobody has called me. Nothing has changed. They will get you to sign up with a tricky deceitful energy non-facts label and not respond once confronted.Original post: When i first signed up I never got a call back from a supervisor after I requested to speak to one two times. They were not available. I needed to cancel the contract when I got the first bill due to some unscrupulous higher than expected per kilowatt charges. Be very careful with this company. I shop yearly or every time my contract is up. The average charge on their fact sheet is not inclusive of the state/distribution fees. None of the other providers I have used have been this way. I left them as soon as the contract was over. Last bill was $86 for less than 400 kilowatts. A joke. Other providers are much cheaper. ”

Bait and Switch
“ I switched to Direct Energy in January of 2022. The original offer had no cancellation fees. Low and behold, after using Direct Energy for a few months and getting billed from Direct Energy and from my Electric supplier, I decided to switch companies. Low and behold, hidden on the e-contract, there was a cancellation fee blurb that I did not catch. ”

DON'T DO IT!!!! SCAM, SCAM, SCAM, SCAM
“ Doubled my bill!!!! Don't believe the hype. They will tell you they can knock your bill down to like $35 a month, but that's only one part of the charges. I can't go into all the details here because it would take too long. But don't do it, these are the highest electric bills I have ever had in my life. SCAM, SCAM, SCAM, SCAM, SCAM. My bill was twice the amount as it was before I previously signed up with them. PASS THE WORD AROUND!!! DON'T SIGN U WITH INSPIRE CLEAN ENERGY!!!! ”
