Horrible horrible energy company
“ What else is there to say? Prices are extortion level high, customer service is horrible, I have all these third part energy providers who say they contract through peco calling me at all hours trying to offer me "deals" that often end up making my bill more expensive... Like Smart Energy, Just Energy... I was supposedly getting "unlimited" energy for 199 a month, according to the one lady I spoke to, and now suddenly my "budget" billing amount is back up to 600$ a month??? Ain't no way. These people are crooks who charge you whatever cuz they know they can get away with it. Worst energy company ever. ”

What a scam
“ We were approached in Sams Club and the lady basically forced us to sign up. She pulled my phone out of my hand and had me tell her the numbers to put in to dial the number so that we could call customer service to our energy provider. We didnt even give her permission yet that we wanted to switch and she immediately called them after speaking with them. She assured us that we were going to save a whole bunch of money and we were going to get a gift card from Sams Club. None of these were true. We got to the checkout and our gift card never arrived. Checking the comments I see that is a common theme. We got our first bill and it was double what we normally pay. Our bill usually runs about $250. Our first bill ran over $500. The next bill was nearly $600 and every bill since then has been right around five and $600 consistently when it used to run right around $250 There has been absolutely no savings. When we went to cancel the person on the phone was pushy and insisted on keeping us from canceling. She even offered us a discount. Then when my husband remained firm with her and said to cancel she said that it was going to take at least three to four billing cycles to process the change. It didnt take that long to put them on our bill. If you see one of these people in Sams Club run the other way do not talk to these people. They are scammers. I dont know what can be done legally, but they are breaking the law they have to be. It is shameful what they are doing to some of these people that cant afford a huge bill like that not that we can. ”

They do not honor their contracts
“ I had a 36 month fixed contract that they cancelled after 7 months. They offered a rate that was over 40% higher per CCF. This was a FIXED natural gas contract yet the excuse was market rates. ”

call them to not auto-renew contract, and they can't figure that out
“ My contract is up at the end of April. I called them 4/9 to not renew the contract. They said they don't have a way to do that, and I have to call back closer to end of April. Explained that I just don't want to renew my contract once term is over at the end of April. Again, they don't have a way to do that, they could try to put in this request, but not sure if it will be accepted. Told me I have to call back closer to the end of April. They are basically hoping I forget to call back so they can auto-renew my contract. Very shady business practice and not to be trusted!! ”
