Best Gexa Energy Plans as reviewed by Texas Electricity Ratings

Plan Name Plan Rating and Review

Gexa Saver Freedom 36

(5 / 5 Stars)

learn more

Gexa's Freedom Saver 36 is a predictable plan that delivers a predictable bill, which is something a lot of Texans want most out of an electricity plan. That being said, the energy charge is high,and overall the plan is on the higher end of the electricity plan market. That being said, the rates across the usage tiers are consistent, so you won't have any bill shocks from one month to the next, and there's no bill credits that could trip you up if you didn't meet the requirements either. For folks who just want to pay a consistent bill, this plan is a solid option.

Gexa Eco Saver Plus 24

(3 / 5 Stars)

learn more

Gexa's Eco Saver Plus 24 is a two year plan, which makes it good for homeowners. It has a really high energy charge, but a $125 bill credit at 1,000 kWh of monthly usage is a pretty substantial bill credit. That bill credit really counteracts the Energy Charge for customers who routinely his the usage requirements, and make for low bills for customers who use between 1-1,500 kWh per month. So it's a good plan for small homeowners who use a lot of electricty, or have a pool. It's also 100% environmentally friendly.

Gexa EV Saver 24

(3 / 5 Stars)

learn more

Gexa's EV Saver 24 is a solid electric vehicle charging plan with a low energy charge, but it's complicated to use. For starters, customers have to download and tie a Gexa app to their charging vehicle. Additionally, only certain vehicles qualify for this plan. And third, the plan only credits the specific energy used for discounting the vehicle, which is why you sync to an app. Most other EV plans just give customers a window of free electricity during nighttime hours, which includes all appliances in the home. This plan only rebates the vehicle charging electricity during the nighttime window. So...it's complicated. But the energy charge is pretty good, so it's not a bad plan. But there is a lot of moving parts.

Gexa Eco Saver Value 12

(3 / 5 Stars)

learn more

Gexa's Eco Saver Value 12 plan is a bill credit, fixed rate electricity plan. The bill credit, which is $75, kicks in at 750 kWh of usage. This makes it a good plan for high-usage apartment folks and smaller homeowners. Larger home-owners that use a ton of electricity won't feel much, if any, bill savings because the energy charge on the plan is extremely high. For the environmentally friendly people, they'll like to hear that this plan is 100% made up of environmentally friendly energy sources, like solar and wind power.

Gexa Eco Saver Advantage 12

(3 / 5 Stars)

learn more

Gexa's Eco Saver Advantage 12 is yet another of Gexa'scarefully curated bill credit plans. The bill credit starts at 1,500 kWh of usage, which means you have to be certain you'll use a lot of electricity each month to ensure you get the credit, otherwise your bills will be pretty high becuase the energy charge on this plan is high. So basically big homeowners, or medium homeowners with a heated pool. The plan also has 100% green energy, which matters a lot to some Texans. No monthly recurring charge is also nice.

I am old and use very little electricity per month, normally about 650 to 800 in summer and 300 to 400 in winter. (gas heat) So the gexa low usage plan with the $40 rebate was excellent! ($40 rebate for usage between 500 and 1000kwh) Very low electric bills all summer! But now that the AC is off, my usage dropped below 500. The $40 rebate disappears! So my bill for 450 kwh was almost double my last month's bill for 600kwh! YIKES! The Gexa gotcha! Here's what to do: In the winter time when you are not using the AC, use an electric space heater enough to bring your bill to the 500 kwh threshold. Then switch to your gas heat to save even more! The main thing is to monitor your usage and make sure that for your billing cycle you are always as close to just over 500kw as possible to get the best monthly deal. Other than that, Gexa has been excellent in all respects. Seems dumb to have to use more electricity to get a lower bill!

I had never been able to choose an electricity provider before, so I was a little uncertain how it would work out when I first chose Gexa in October 2015 when we moved to the area. I was paying 15.0/6.9/8.4 with a $40 bill credit for >999 or <2001 kwh. We are coming up on the end of our 1 year contract, and I received an email from Gexa to review plans. I opened it and then also opened the comparison website that shows all other companies. Not only did the renewal rates beat what Gexa was offering on the comparison website, it far and away beat all the other companies at 12.8/5.7/8.2 with a $60 credit for any month between 1001-2000kwh (which is where we stay).We have had zero issues with billing or service - and customer service has always responded to my messages promptly and courteously. Can't ask for more than that!

Gexa is the best energy company we have used. We use less than 1000 kwh per month (500 on average) and they give us a credit of $25 each month for that. Sometimes our bill is even negative and is subtracted from the next month's bill. I thought for sure it was just a ploy to get new customers and it wouldn't be renewable, but I just renewed our plan, and our net charge for using about 500 kwh is now around 3 cents!! We are paying about 8 cents minus a $40 credit! In the past our electricity bills have been around $100 in the summer, but now in the summer (in Texas - it's 90 - 110 degrees Fahrenheit every day) it's usually around $40 or $50 :) Also, they are always so nice on the phone and I have never had to wait on hold. Keep it up, Gexa.

I don't typically write these things, but since I feel more people will take the time to slam a company online, I thought I would give a thumbs up. When shopping for power in Houston, I always use powertochoose,org and for the second time in the past 5 years or so, Gexa came up as the most competitive supplier. The sign up process was flawless, and when I had a question about my first bill, customer service was there to answer my question and clear the confusion. Read the Facts Label and you will find their fees to be very competitive.

Every company will have complaints. Some customers don't read the fine print of contracts, so they get caught unaware when something unexpected comes along. The key to a good customer experience is to be your own best advocate and read everything. Sometimes terms are only mentioned once. If you don't understand something, ask the company and ask someone you trust who knows what's what.

We use balance billing. That means we pay the same each month. I have had decreases. I have had increases. But at least I have a set amount to fit into my budget. I know what to expect. That comes from a good relationship with the company...meaning I pay my bills on time (about a week prior to the due date). If you do the same, you will reap the benefit.

For full disclosure, all the promo codes you see on these review sites are ones provided specifically for each customer after they have signed up. It is a referral code. It helps me, the customer. It helps you, the future customer. I hope you will accept my honesty about it and use it.

I joined Gexa last year around this time for their new customer promo of 9.1 cents inclusive of TDU and $4.95 base charge. I loved Gexa. Not a single problem with billing or bill paying. I pay online via Discover card. The only problem I have had was that I had to switch after the promo 12 month contract was over. Their rates jumped .02 and I was getting better promo offers from other companies. After I switched, Gexa cut off my ability to pay my last bill online so I had to mail a check. I was worried about this but after 7 business days, I saw the payment credited since they still allowed me to view my bill online. Customer service is polite and up front about everything. No silly cash back gimmicks, just a low rate. I wish so much that I could have stayed with Gexa since it is so well run but their renewal plans were all too high. I went with Cirro this time for 12 month 9.6 rate. Not as good as I had with Gexa but the best my research could find.

Also have enjoyed a very low total rate of 9.1 cents/kwh plus $10/mon customer charge on a 12-month fixed plan expiring in June 2010. We'll see whether they continue to offer attractive rates when the current plan expires, and how cooperative they might be if I choose to change providers. Thumbs up so far.

I have had nothing but a wonderful experience with Gexa. I signed up with them last year on a fixed contract plan at a good rate. It carried me through crazy summer. My contract recently expired and they sent me a nice letter reminding me that my contract was expiring and I was eligible to renew. I compared their rates to others and found Gexa to have really low rates for their fixed contracts. Regardless of rate, their customer service has been awesome and always helpful if I have a question. I highly recommend Gexa to anyone looking for a solid electricity company.

As far as pricing and hook up goes they are pretty average, but what has me writing this review is how they have handled the Texas grid issues during this stupid winter storm. While other companies are gouging their customers, Gexa suspended billing and disconnections for people so they could be taken care of during our states stupid power issues. A lot of people lost power, including us, but that want gexas fault, it was Oncors and I think they handled the people well and kept their customer base as well taken care of as they could. Im thankful for this and I know a lot of other Texans are too.

My electric plan was up for renewal and after shopping around I found that Gexa had rates that were about half the cost of what I was paying with another provider. My summer electricity bill dropped from about $300 a month to $150 for a 2400sqft house. Setting up service and managing my account has been easy using the Gexa website. I always set up auto pay so I don't have to remember to pay my bill every month.Shop around for the best rates when looking for a new provider and always read the EFL!! Dec 2015 Update: My contract was up for renewal and I compared all the plans out there. Gexa Choice Select 6 was the best value for me so I renewed with Gexa. While renewing online I had a question so I called Gexa and a customer service rep answered right away and they were able to answer my question. Very happy with Gexa!

Have had Gexa multiple times - 3 - with no problems. Only reason I change is to look for better rate, new contract, or more renewable content in the generation. They have been exactly as advertised, notified of contract end date. Their new customer rates are very low, with renewal rates about double. If you can manage the company switch at the end of every contract period, they have caused me no problems.

And this one is changing. I think I've been with Gexa for about 18 months. Originally signed up on a good promotional plan and then renewed at rates similar to that plan. Have been getting emails urging me to "buy now" even though my term wasn't up for 3 or 4 months before I started getting the renewal email blasts. Their rate increase was about 23%. Moving to another provider, my rate will increase -- but only about 5%. I'm not sure but I think we have the Texas legislators to thank for the Power to Choose and an easy to use website to compare rates. I have overpaid my electric bill by hundreds of dollars. I'll be back on here if I don't get a prompt refund of that overpayment. As far as service, it's been flawless (except for Oncor's outages every now and then). Haven't had to deal with customer service. Soooo -- if you can get a good rate from Gexa, I would go for it. I can't so I'm switchin' (but it won't be to TXU who shafted us all on rates for years).

I've been with Gexa for two years with no problems. At renewal I shopped rates and found lower rates. I read the reviews on providers offering lower rates and saw lots of dissatisfied customers and problems with billings, etc. I spoke to a Gexa rep and explained that I would like to stay but would like to see better rate. I was offered a discounted loyal customer rate which brought them close to the competitive lower rates. When I compared annual costs between Gexa and the lower rate offers, I would end up paying $65 more annually to stay with Gexa. Because their service has been satisfactory and reliable, I decided that was worth paying a bit more.

The second go around, I asked if I can get service without having to provide my SSN, they said, just give us a letter of credit from your current provider that you have never been late and you are in good standing with them. As soon as I did, they switch process was a breeze, didn't even feel it! Most of the people who left negative reviews, have been charged with late payment fees and ofcourse they are bitter about it!

I have been with Gexa for 3 years now. I just added my 2nd house to my account. For tax reasons I need 2 bills. Well Gexa felt the need to take a payment from my primary house, and applied it to House 2. So that left the main account short...late fees, disconnect notice and hit on my credit report. They fixed it... and waved all kinds of fees for the fast connect on the 2nd home. The same issue has happened 2 more times, but they are great about fixing it... but 3 disconnect notices and the time to fix it is a pain. I would still recommend them to anyone, but stay on top of them with the billing... it could take up to 3 months to fix. And make sure you contact them when your contract is almost out of date, or you might get a bit of a jolt when your rate goes up..mine went from $0.11 KWH to over $0.19 KWH. Gexa fixed it but it took 3 months to get my $392 back.

Editor's Note:

Delivery charges on your Texas electricity bill are an unfortunate reality of the deregulated market. Every provider you purchase electricity from has to pay these charges to the Texas companies that maintain the poles and wires. In the past, some retailers rolled all those charges up into the energy charge, but most list it separately.

I took my time to understand how all the charges are calculated and still Gexa got me. Maybe it's because of their contracts with the specific provider in my area, but I paid more than double of any other electricity plan in the last 5 years.

I called Gexa and they moved me to a new plan that fit my budget better but I still owed that large bill and had I known this at the start I would not have picked Gexa as my provider.

I choose Gexa due to the fact they were advertising a 8.5Kw pricing which is what I signed up for. What was not explained in the marketing material that was for only those users who were under 1000Kw monthly. Instead I received a bill for 12.5kw for the month. When I called to inquire as to billing issue, I was told because I had exceed the monthly usage I had to pay the higher rate. I then asked to find a better rate, and was provided a better rate, I asked that it be applied to the currently billing period which was denied. So I end up paying 2 periods at 12.5kw when this was not what I thought I had signed up for nor able to change.

Well, I thought I had found a company to stick with. Easy sign-up, great rates, auto billing and online account access was a breeze. But, when renewal time comes around, the specific plans they offer you are nowhere near your current plan. I expected my plan to go up, but even the best renewal plan was double my current plan based on my 12 months of usage. Isn't it easier to keep a customer than replace a customer??? Can't you just give me a plan that you're offering new customers? If not, I switch, and that's what I ended up doing. You aren't like Spectrum or AT&T - there's plenty of competition and you can't just double the rates without someone noticing. Doesn't make sense to just hope you get someone to renew at a doubled rate and then deal with the complaints, reviews, bad references, etc. Why not just give your existing customers a decent renewal rate and not have to compete as hard for new ones?

I called customer service and the budged down to 9.5 but based on 2,000 kwh that is still 9.9 per kwh in my usage range. I finally decided to go with trieagle and I guess we'll see.

I have had Gexa since 2008, but they obviously are not concerned about keeping customers since the rate to renew is higher than for a new customer to join. Wouldn't you want to keep a customer who always pays the bills? I would recommend the company to a new customer. I've never had issues with billing or customer service, and questions have always been promptly answer. When my contract was up, they contacted me several times to let me know and to try to get me to sign another, but there were much better deals elsewhere.

I found gexa after another 'no name' supplier went bust. They've been okay for the most part, I get air miles by paying with credit card and Gexa also give me airmiles. I can pay online and their website now has a better way to download the bill as a PDF.

My main problem was I autopay with credit card each month. Normally it is no problem., just go to a web site and update the info. Gexa want you to call them and try getting somebody to answer in under 10 minutes. Sure they have a call back system. However, it came time to update the expiry date for my new card, no new number just the expiry date. Gexa charged my card and it was declined. After always paying on time since I moved to Texas 12 years ago I appear to be on their 'loser' list as my renewal notice has left me feeling they no longer want my business. So it took me a call or 2 to have the late charge reversed, but it looks like I'll be leaving gexa soon.

Signing up was very easy. Details of pricing were misleading. I had no basis for estimating my energy consumption moving into a new house. Imagine my surprise when I was socked with $.28 cents per kWh. The energy charge was for 999 kWh - if I had consumed one more kWh I would have jumped into a much lower rate. This company also hides the TDU delivery charge. Looking through the fine print it is clear. I have switched my plan after one month. It will cost me far less to pay the charge for breaking the contract and turning to a new provider than trying to game the categories that GEXA sets. I have no desire to consume more energy than is needed.

If you are thinking about signing a contract with Gexa, make sure you read the fine print. The way that Texas electric companies work is deliberately confusing, and that's how they lock you into expensive contracts.This will likely not be an issue if you are first signing with Gexa. They offer fantastic deals for people who first sign up, and they advertise their rates for new users correctly. However, when it's time to renew, you need to be careful.If you are offered a contract at an average rate of 9 cents /kWh, for example, then you need to open the EFL (Electric Facts Label) and check the energy charge. If it says something MUCH higher than 9 cents, then you need to look elsewhere. The way that it works is that they advertise a low average rate because of a discount they apply to your account if you hit exactly the right number of kWh. For instance, if it says that your plan is 9 cents/kWh at 500 kWh, then the ACTUAL energy charge might be closer to 15 cents/kWh, but Gexa will give you a fifty dollar discount if you hit 500kWh. If you don't hit 500kWh, then you don't get the discount, and you might actually pay MORE money, even when using HALF the amount of electricity. Additionally, if you use more than 500kWh, you'll still get the discount, but your rate will still average out at much higher. The average rate is only 9 cents if you literally use 500kWh.For complete transparency, here is a breakdown of the amount of energy I used per month with Gexa and how much it cost me. Contract 1 with Gexa - This plan was advertised at an average rate of 6 cents/kWh, and I was extremely happy with it. (The actual rate before fees was 3 cents/kWh.)404 kWh = $34.51403 kWh = $34.44318 kWh = $28.24413 kWh = $35.38578 kWh = $41.88364 kWh = $27.95578 kWh = $41.88364 kWh = $27.95597 kWh = $41.77537 kWh = $39.46Contract 2 with Gexa. This contract was advertised at 9 cents/kWh. They used deceptive tactics here. It's actually 15 cents/kWh but comes out to 21 cents/kWh with fees. They give you a 50 dollar credit if you use 500kWh. As you can see, using between 350-499 kWh will absolutely destroy you. 552 kWh = $58.39383 kWh = $82.91 (!!!!!!)557 kWh = $66.53262 kWh = $57.94I stupidly trusted Gexa after my first year went smoothly, and I regret renewing a contract with them. If this review makes it to ANYONE before they make the same mistake that I made, I'll be happier. I might cancel my contract and move to another company. I am still waiting to hear back from them.

I have been a Gexa customer for several years at my primary residence and loved their prices and service. For that reason, I decided to use them at my rental house for the last three years. When I called to renew my rental house contract last year, the rep said that I would "save a lot of money" by being on the Free Nights and Free Weekends plan - so I gladly signed up since it is a rental house and I'm trying to keep costs lower. My electric bills increased by about $75 more per month. Needless to say I was not happy. I called today to renew my contract hoping to get a better deal since I am a loyal customer with TWO separate accounts with Gexa. For that reason you would think they would be working hard to keep me. Nope!!! The rep said, "the best I can do is 9.9 cents per KWh from Gexa, plus a 4.9 cents per KWh from AEP provider, plus $4.90 per month base charge for the plan. . I asked the rep, "that's still a lot higher than my primary residence. Is that the best you can do because I can find another company that will beat that?" He says, "that's the cheapest plan." I told him, "then I guess I'm calling another company for a cheaper price." He said, "ok, thank you for calling and being a customer."

It was my mistake that I cancelled my account a month too early, March 10 instead of April 10. Gexa saw fit to charge me a cancellation fee of $153.00, per the terms and conditions of the contract which they were quick to point out to me. When I asked if they could do anything about the excessive cancellation fee they were also quick to point out to me, again, the terms and conditions of the cancellation fee. It would appear Gexa has no desire to work with it's customers and I would suggest you shop elsewhere.

Set up was easy. I used a third party that was able to show the difference in price based on my needs and situation. I looked at reviews at the time both good and bad. The bad reviews were about customer service which I thought was subjective and situational. That was until I had to deal with customer service. I was moving to a new area where they could not provide service. When taking to their agents, I felt like I was talking to those guys that are running a telephone scam. We agreed on the phone that I was moving out at the end of the month and that I would not be going to a month to month contract. Not only did they not turn my power off at the end of the month, I put me automatically in a month to month. I had not missed a bill up to this point. However, with all the emails involved in buying a new home for the first time, I missed my last bill with Gexa which caused them to turn off my power after 14 days into the new month during the COVID pandemic. Makes me wonder about others that could not afford to pay their bills. My new bill had charges for the last month, new month to month, and disconnection. I told them on the phone that I want my final bill to pay and be done with it. After disagreeing on whether or not I should pay for a reconnection fee in order to pay my bill, we agreed that I will pay my last month and the disconnection fee and they would rebate the month to month. Finally, they said that my last bill will be a zero balance. My last bills arrives with fees for the month to month time. With a different agent, they stated that the first agent was wrong even though that agent alleged talked a a supervisor. However, this agent was going to rebate $25 for my inconvenience. This turned out to be a lie as the agent never rebated the $25. So I paid the amount as my time is more important and the cost was too small to deal with in court. Last thought, customer service will do whatever it takes to get you off the phone to include lying to you. Where I saved two dollars a month for the year over another plan for a total of $24, I paid just over $75 in unnecessary charges in order to cancel my service. I only got the lower monthly price with them over other companies because of their veteran plan.

For the love of God do not sign up for budget billing youre basically using Gexa like a credit card and only paying a little amount of your actual bill if you stay within your kilowatts. So they keep that remaining balance only to charge you the second you shut off service. We were forced to move back home (Florida) when my office in Houston closed. I woke up to an email that my checking account was -$500 I check it and find that Gexa decided to take out what I owed them which was $800. After being on the phone with their customer service I got a sweet paper check for $100 for the confusion on how budget billing worked. ITS A SCAM. DO NOT USE IT.

I just signed up for Gexa. Supposed to be very cheap. For about 1200 sq ft, my first summer bill was $151.00 and my second one was $375.00!! Ouch! So the plan I have takes off $100.00 if you use between 1000-2000 kw. I used 2063.. so yes, that was over 2000. But this is July, and instead of a mont to month cycle, they used 33 days this cycle. Its up to them if they want to use anywhere from 28 days to 33 days. Beware of this. I just believe it is unethical when they can use fluctuations of the amount of days. I did call and questioned this and they gave me $25.00 off. The customer service rep talked very fast was very hard to understand. I am so tired of computerized care from these companies, it takes you a 20 minutes for a real person to come on and then you strain to understand every word. So funny when you call to set up service, you get to talk to an easy to understand American.. but once youre under contract!! Its so very frustrating!! And its amazing how vivid 19 effects the service of every company! My rant!!

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE REVIEW BEFORE SELECTING GEXA AS YOUR ELECTRICITY PROVIDER!Last week, after regularly paying my bills throughout my contract to date, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, with a 6-year-old diabetic child at home dependent on refrigerated insulin, Gexa cut off my electricity for missing a payment by 17 days. Do I deny missing the payment? No. Was I sufficiently warned of the impending potential disaster? No. Here is the time table.My payment was due May 15, 2020 (I freely admit I missed the payment as a result of an oversight on my part). On May 19, 2020 Gexa noted as mailed to me a DISCONNECTION NOTICE stating they would disconnect my electricity on the first business day on or after May 29, 2020. A disconnection notice generated four days after the payment was due; a huge red flag of customer service driven my mercenary corporate policies. The notice arrived at my home on Monday, May 25, 2020. Blissfully unaware of the impending disaster, I waited to open the letter until my normal bill paying Saturday which was May 30, 2020. As Friday, May 29, 2020 was a business day and my electricity was still running, it was clearly apparent Gexa had not followed the terms of their notice and had humanely taken into account the worldwide disruption precipitated by COVID-19 and was giving me some slack. MAN, WAS I WRONG! On that Saturday AM I scheduled a payment in full to be sent June 1, 2020 and received by Gexa on June 3, 2020 (per my bank, which is solidly reliable). On Monday, June 1, 2020, Gexa cut off my electricity. Ten business days after my payment due date slightly over two weeks! UNBELIEVABLE!My child, thankfully, never realized the potential danger. However, the damage was done. The ruthless commerciality of Gexa, for the sake of $122.97, had HAD put my childs life at risk.A one-star review is too high for Gexa.

I went with them because I thought it was the cheapest. Turns out the $40 off if you reach 500 Kwh is not actually cheap (1 bedroom apartment commonly reached $80 where on my old plan was closer to $50/$60 for the same place). But that is on me for choosing that plan. When I moved they tried to charge me for leaving the contract early despite the move (other companies just ask for a forwarding address and that is it - I have never had an issue with a different company). The customer service is just a pain. I have been emailing for weeks (after calling twice waiting over an hour each time to get this taken care of) to just get them to correct the new address. They wrote the state twice (once right between the main address) and wrote the city twice two different ways. It was not some tragic horrible experience but there are so many choices for electricity, why bother with one that is this much of a hassel. I am glad to no longer be a customer. Oh, and I moved out on a Saturday and since they are not open on the weekend I couldn't have service disconnected until Tuesday. Although a week prior I had an email that they asked what day I wanted to be disconnected - they just never did it. So I was paying the electricity after I moved out which is frustrating.

Like so many others I'm struggling with my budget and trying to make ends meet this often means that due dates on bills have to slide. This I am 50 plus years old now and in my entire life I have never known an electric provider there won't 1st issue you await warning and then 30 days later issue you a disconnect notice. I have noticed with Jackson energy if you were just 2 days late with your payment they issue a disconnect notice. The good thing is they're finally sending it correctly the bed thing is these idiots turn me off the Day After Christmas without proper notice. I am now one day late with my Jan bill and they have issued a disconnect notice even though they agreed I would pay this Friday when I get paid. Unless you are flush with ready funds to pay them on time 100% and remember to do so avoid this company like the plague...

The Gexa grinch is showing up at my house for Christmas this year. I am a mere 4 days late with my payment due the way my pay periods fell this time, and Gexa wasting no time whatsoever has already issued a disconnect order. Every other electric provider would let you slide up to a month if you needed, but Gexa is unwilling to budge. I deeply regret jumping on board with them for the low costs.. The low costs are great, and the customer service people are okay, but they are being limited harshly on how flexible they can be by their company policies. I wish it wasn't this way, but it is what I have to deal with while this contract runs out.

I have data from Texas Smart meter back to 2014 and I should have reviewed the rate Plan with Gexa more in-depth than I did when signing up with them a few months ago. In the 10 years, I have lived in my home, I have never had a bill over $216. Yet, with the tiered structure for this 24-month plan through Gexa, my July plan is $460. This is outrageous. It is, of course, my fault but I would think the Regulatory commission would do more to simplify the detail when selection just as they do during a mortgage signing with truth-in-lending chart. I review that when I signed up and it appears my rates would be lower with Gexa than previously with Bounce. I have a $295 change fee but do not care in ever doing business with Gexa again. I plan to call them Monday to see if I can switch to another Gexa plan without a change fee. I am not expecting that to be the case and plan to move to another company like 4Change or Constellation or even DirectEnergy.

I just terminated my 12 month contract with Gexa after learning of their fraudulent practice. I enrolled in the $50 rebate program if I maintained 500 kwh or more. However, they billed me for 9 days at .23/kwh when their website showed me at .14/kwh. Apparently they charge a higher rate if your usage is under 500, something no other company has ever done. They control the billing cycles but as mentioned in other complaints, you can never speak to anyone who doesn't try to strong arm you into something else or refuse to handle the problem. I terminated my contract and went with another company who also paid for my termination fee. Stay away from this company!!!!

When the PUC created the Power To Choose website, they made the entire focus to be 'RATES RATES RATES!!!', and that incentivized some providers to add extra fees and credits that artificially affect the rate you see on the EFL.

I signed up in July 22, with the understanding that my rate would be 14.4 as long as I used at least 1000 kwh a month. I also asked if the customer service department was helpful to people in my situation, who pays their bills, but due to govt disability checks being sent on a certain day each month, extra time is needed to pay the bill. I was assured that I'd have no issues! I don't think I have been charged that rate since we signed up! On my bill it states my monthly average was 19.1, but I'm being charged over 21! So last month 1710 kwh and I'm being charged $390.55 The 2 months before that Oct-1641 kwh $423 Nov-1641 kwh $373.17...It's easily TWICE the amount that I was paying last winter and fuel prices were higher! Customer service is far from helpful. I'm on disability and every month I have to go through the same nonsense explaining how I only get paid once a month, and with their unusually high utility bills, I need extra time to pay my bill. I'm given grief every month. They charge a late fee if not paid by the due date, then tack on another $25 for a disconnection email to be generated! I've asked several times if they have my Critical Care info on file, and I am told that they don't see it!
I didn't ask to become disabled in the prime of my 1st responder career. My home is less that 1000sqft. So bills over $600 in the summer and over $350 in the fall just doesn't make one bit of sense! Stay away from Gexa, their rates are never what they say they are! Truly unhappy and trapped while I'm getting royally screwed. Some KY might have made the shock so painful!

I signed up with Gexa after reviewing what I, Thought, was a low rate! I received my first bill and stunned to see I was charged 0.1918 rather than 0.134 as advertised online. I contacted Gexa and spoke with two managers, one who explained Gexa had no control over rates being shown on 3rd party websites. I advised that this was a total Scam because if Gexa knew the rates were False why would they not correct it to reflect an accurate rate. Deregulation has created a Scam and Deceptive industry and you better pay attention at your energy rates. Take screen shots of necessary information and accurate notes of who you spoke with, date and time. Thankfully one of the managers I spoke with kept his word and noted on my account I could cancel within a specified time without being charged the early termination fee. I subsequently canceled my service within 2 months and thankfully I did, because although my usage rate has Decreased, my bill has Increased! Which is absolutely Ridiculous! Gexa Energy is a horrible company, and I would Not recommend it to anyone! Their prices, plans and promotions are borderline Deceptive!!

2 years have service. First year bill was averaging $200 now up to $475 that's not even the kicker. We are supposed to have free weekends starting Thursday midnight lasting till Sunday Midnight. We rarely use electricity during the week day because of work and school. So the weekends we use more especially tvs running and lights. But they swear we use most of our electricity during the week day which is BS because only kitchen appliances are really running. We even unplug tvs and things that have small energy running through them. So it's really crazy how they average the usage to make it seem like we use less during weekend "free" hours and the week day. We have 2 months left and we are not renewing with this company

Had nothing but good things to say prior to the last couple months. Payed roughly 100-200 dollars depending on the month and everything was pretty reasonable. Come summer time and our bill started to double, triple and even quadruple!!! I NEVER thought I'd be paying almost the same amount as RENT to cover energy for a two bed room apartment. All of a sudden we're getting billed upwards of 600/m and they will randomly consolidate your bills to include longer stretches of a month without even a hint of letting you know. Honestly I'm just pissed at this point and my SO and I find it cheaper to pay the cancellation fee and move on then give these troglodytes any more of our hard earned money. Save yourself the trouble and go with literally any other company.

We thought we were on with our current old provider, did not know that Gexa jumped in and cut us off with previous provider. I called and they said "oh, the mail must got lost". How does it even possible? How do you sign up for a plan with energy company without giving your social security? But Gexa did it with using your dob and address.

During the contract period, the service was bare minimum (technology interface is far behind what Ive seen from other providers).

After terminating service, billed several hundred dollar extra for usage after lease end. Dispute team and customer service took several weeks to look into the issue, and would not adjust/honor my disconnect date. Charged additional late payment interest during the time of the dispute that they were also unwilling to waive. Very displeased with Gexa, will never be returning.

Not to mention the nickel and dime ing they charge which you REALLY have to read the "fine print" over and over again..then over and over again... am looking for another company to move to at this time... will do so even if there is a penalty fee!

If you choose a year plan that advertises as ex. 7.8/Kw, you most likely will NOT receive this price. It must be between say 1-2K and if a little below or above, the ENTIRE amt. will be charged at the top price. Even if you are between 1-2K - they give a credit and the agent will say 'well it 'MAY' go to that rate but not necessarily. I never received the 7.8 although my bill was between 1-2k multiple months. Total SCAM - too many other options for companies

I contacted Gexa while I was out of town and my energy usage was through the roof despite leaving the AC at 85, unplugging the fridge and not using any appliances.They initiated a billing dispute with AEP central. Thats fine. They told me to pay the amount Im not disputing so I estimated half and paid that. (It was probably still too much). A few days later my neighbour phoned to say AEP had come by. AEP had mixed my line with his, so Ive been paying for his usage and he for mine.Fine.A week and a half later Gexa is still showing me sky high usage. I asked for confirmation that they would not report me to the credit bureau for not paying the balance while the amount was still disputed, per PUC regulations. They would not give me that confirmation. Instead, they finally said it was due 08/01 instead of 07/15. They quoted me the amount remaining.The next day I get a bill for the entire amount again, despite already having paid half.And they still havent dealt with the AEP issue. I am owed a huge credit.Im furious.This company is awful. Do not sign up with them.

I switched to Gexa Energy automatically by Texas Public Utilities. My bill went up from $140 a month to $530 a month. It's 378% increase with the same amount of KWhs. They have used the algorithm of Low and High window to double the rate whenever you are below or above this window. Now it is understandable they can do that, but they would double your total KWH for that month, not just the difference you are under use or over use. So who is in the right mind would have to look at your electric meter everyday to make sure you are not outside of this limits. I am looking out for a class action law suit against whoever come up with this scam. Because I am sure there are thousands of victims out there paying too much for this scam.

They have sneaky pricing plans, that if you stay within a certain electricity range, you get somewhat reasonable rates, but if you even dare to go over your khw range your bill skyrockets almost doubling. What really blew me away is their pricing range quite literally punishes you for using LESS electricity. I had one bill 8 kW under the range and my bill almost doubled. That particular month had several weather related power outages so on top of having interrupted service, I got dinged with a significantly higher bill.

I just terminated my 12 month contract with Gexa after learning of their fraudulent practice. I enrolled in the $50 rebate program if I maintained 500 kwh or more. However, they billed me for 9 days at .23/kwh when their website showed me at .14/kwh. Apparently they charge a higher rate if your usage is under 500, something no other company has ever done. They control the billing cycles but as mentioned in other complaints, you can never speak to anyone who doesn't try to strong arm you into something else or refuse to handle the problem. I terminated my contract and went with another company who also paid for my termination fee. Stay away from this company!!!!

Customer service is far from helpful. I'm on disability and every month I have to go through the same nonsense explaining how I only get paid once a month, and with their unusually high utility bills, I need extra time to pay my bill.

I've asked several times if they have my Critical Care info on file, and I am told that they don't see it!
I didn't ask to become disabled in the prime of my 1st responder career. My home is less that 1000sqft. So bills over $600 in the summer and over $350 in the fall just doesn't make one bit of sense!

I signed up with Gexa after reviewing what I, Thought, was a low rate! I received my first bill and stunned to see I was charged 0.1918 rather than 0.134 as advertised online. I contacted Gexa and spoke with two managers, one who explained Gexa had no control over rates being shown on 3rd party websites. I advised that this was a total Scam because if Gexa knew the rates were False why would they not correct it to reflect an accurate rate. Deregulation has created a Scam and Deceptive industry and you better pay attention at your energy rates. Take screen shots of necessary information and accurate notes of who you spoke with, date and time. Thankfully one of the managers I spoke with kept his word and noted on my account I could cancel within a specified time without being charged the early termination fee. I subsequently canceled my service within 2 months and thankfully I did, because although my usage rate has Decreased, my bill has Increased! Which is absolutely Ridiculous! Gexa Energy is a horrible company, and I would Not recommend it to anyone! Their prices, plans and promotions are borderline Deceptive!!

Gexa is very misleading. They were charging me according to the previous month when I was home not realizing the next 3 months I was totally gone. After I brought to their attention and told them there is no way possible my bill was suddenly adjusted. I currently in the process of finding a new Entergy company willing to pay to end contract early. Be wise. Stay away from Gexa!

Signing up was very easy. Details of pricing were misleading. I had no basis for estimating my energy consumption moving into a new house. Imagine my surprise when I was socked with $.28 cents per kWh. The energy charge was for 999 kWh - if I had consumed one more kWh I would have jumped into a much lower rate. This company also hides the TDU delivery charge. Looking through the fine print it is clear. I have switched my plan after one month. It will cost me far less to pay the charge for breaking the contract and turning to a new provider than trying to game the categories that GEXA sets. I have no desire to consume more energy than is needed.

2 years have service. First year bill was averaging $200 now up to $475 that's not even the kicker. We are supposed to have free weekends starting Thursday midnight lasting till Sunday Midnight. We rarely use electricity during the week day because of work and school. So the weekends we use more especially tvs running and lights. But they swear we use most of our electricity during the week day which is BS because only kitchen appliances are really running. We even unplug tvs and things that have small energy running through them. So it's really crazy how they average the usage to make it seem like we use less during weekend "free" hours and the week day. We have 2 months left and we are not renewing with this company

Had nothing but good things to say prior to the last couple months. Payed roughly 100-200 dollars depending on the month and everything was pretty reasonable. Come summer time and our bill started to double, triple and even quadruple!!! I NEVER thought I'd be paying almost the same amount as RENT to cover energy for a two bed room apartment. All of a sudden we're getting billed upwards of 600/m and they will randomly consolidate your bills to include longer stretches of a month without even a hint of letting you know. Honestly I'm just pissed at this point and my SO and I find it cheaper to pay the cancellation fee and move on then give these troglodytes any more of our hard earned money.

During the contract period, the service was bare minimum (technology interface is far behind what Ive seen from other providers).

After terminating service, billed several hundred dollar extra for usage after lease end. Dispute team and customer service took several weeks to look into the issue, and would not adjust/honor my disconnect date. Charged additional late payment interest during the time of the dispute that they were also unwilling to waive. Very displeased with Gexa, will never be returning.

If you choose a year plan that advertises as ex. 7.8/Kw, you most likely will NOT receive this price. It must be between say 1-2K and if a little below or above, the ENTIRE amt. will be charged at the top price. Even if you are between 1-2K - they give a credit and the agent will say 'well it 'MAY' go to that rate but not necessarily. I never received the 7.8 although my bill was between 1-2k multiple months. Total SCAM - too many other options for companies

I contacted Gexa while I was out of town and my energy usage was through the roof despite leaving the AC at 85, unplugging the fridge and not using any appliances.They initiated a billing dispute with AEP central. Thats fine. They told me to pay the amount Im not disputing so I estimated half and paid that. (It was probably still too much). A few days later my neighbour phoned to say AEP had come by. AEP had mixed my line with his, so Ive been paying for his usage and he for mine.Fine.A week and a half later Gexa is still showing me sky high usage. I asked for confirmation that they would not report me to the credit bureau for not paying the balance while the amount was still disputed, per PUC regulations. They would not give me that confirmation. Instead, they finally said it was due 08/01 instead of 07/15. They quoted me the amount remaining.The next day I get a bill for the entire amount again, despite already having paid half.And they still havent dealt with the AEP issue. I am owed a huge credit.Im furious.This company is awful. Do not sign up with them.

I switched to Gexa Energy automatically by Texas Public Utilities. My bill went up from $140 a month to $530 a month. It's 378% increase with the same amount of KWhs. They have used the algorithm of Low and High window to double the rate whenever you are below or above this window. Now it is understandable they can do that, but they would double your total KWH for that month, not just the difference you are under use or over use. So who is in the right mind would have to look at your electric meter everyday to make sure you are not outside of this limits. I am looking out for a class action law suit against whoever come up with this scam. Because I am sure there are thousands of victims out there paying too much for this scam.

They have sneaky pricing plans, that if you stay within a certain electricity range, you get somewhat reasonable rates, but if you even dare to go over your khw range your bill skyrockets almost doubling. What really blew me away is their pricing range quite literally punishes you for using LESS electricity. I had one bill 8 kW under the range and my bill almost doubled. That particular month had several weather related power outages so on top of having interrupted service, I got dinged with a significantly higher bill.

If you are thinking about signing a contract with Gexa, make sure you read the fine print. The way that Texas electric companies work is deliberately confusing, and that's how they lock you into expensive contracts.This will likely not be an issue if you are first signing with Gexa. They offer fantastic deals for people who first sign up, and they advertise their rates for new users correctly. However, when it's time to renew, you need to be careful.If you are offered a contract at an average rate of 9 cents /kWh, for example, then you need to open the EFL (Electric Facts Label) and check the energy charge. If it says something MUCH higher than 9 cents, then you need to look elsewhere. The way that it works is that they advertise a low average rate because of a discount they apply to your account if you hit exactly the right number of kWh. For instance, if it says that your plan is 9 cents/kWh at 500 kWh, then the ACTUAL energy charge might be closer to 15 cents/kWh, but Gexa will give you a fifty dollar discount if you hit 500kWh. If you don't hit 500kWh, then you don't get the discount, and you might actually pay MORE money, even when using HALF the amount of electricity. Additionally, if you use more than 500kWh, you'll still get the discount, but your rate will still average out at much higher. The average rate is only 9 cents if you literally use 500kWh.For complete transparency, here is a breakdown of the amount of energy I used per month with Gexa and how much it cost me. Contract 1 with Gexa - This plan was advertised at an average rate of 6 cents/kWh, and I was extremely happy with it. (The actual rate before fees was 3 cents/kWh.)404 kWh = $34.51403 kWh = $34.44318 kWh = $28.24413 kWh = $35.38578 kWh = $41.88364 kWh = $27.95578 kWh = $41.88364 kWh = $27.95597 kWh = $41.77537 kWh = $39.46Contract 2 with Gexa. This contract was advertised at 9 cents/kWh. They used deceptive tactics here. It's actually 15 cents/kWh but comes out to 21 cents/kWh with fees. They give you a 50 dollar credit if you use 500kWh. As you can see, using between 350-499 kWh will absolutely destroy you. 552 kWh = $58.39383 kWh = $82.91 (!!!!!!)557 kWh = $66.53262 kWh = $57.94I stupidly trusted Gexa after my first year went smoothly, and I regret renewing a contract with them. If this review makes it to ANYONE before they make the same mistake that I made, I'll be happier. I might cancel my contract and move to another company. I am still waiting to hear back from them.

Opaque gimmicks for their plans with usage credits (before selecting a plan verify the rates are reported prior to additional charges, mine was not). Uncompetitive flat rates. Customer service reps have few options to address complaints, although they were all polite.

Ultimately on me for not doing enough research before selecting. I've cancelled my plan and eaten the cancellation charge.

I wouldn't use them again and I would not recommend their plans. Look elsewhere.

Signed up for a plan advertising 10.7c per kwh.
Turns out, its ONLY in the fine print that that price is good for usage of between 1000-2000 kwh and the company applies a credit to bring the bill 'close to' 10.7c, so its not a true fixed rate at all....in fact i was paying close to 16.3c per kwh.
I have since moved on from them.

This is my third year as a Gexa Energy customer and I am writing this review to help other people avoid this company. I have two accounts for two separate houses. Both accounts are enrolled in autopay. Every 2-3 three months, both accounts are somehow un-enrolled in autopay, my bill is not paid, and I get a disconnection notice and a fine. Then, I spend an hour on a Saturday morning calling Gexa energy to get my account re-enrolled. The very nice person who helps me never has any idea why this happens. When my account is un-enrolled in autopay, it is also unregistered, so I can't manage it online. If I attempt to re-register my account online, I get an error "The system could not validate the information with the email xxxx.xxx and account number xxxx. Please verify your details." Both account numbers receive this error message. Literally any other company in Houston does not have these account and IT errors. My bill is quadruple the amount I am expecting, and I have no way to view my bill to see my usage and dispute and/or reduce it. And this happens every couple of months. I deeply regret signing up for Gexa energy, and you should know before signing up what a nightmare it is to continually babysit something that should be automatic, and that no other company hasn't figured out by now.

I am staying in a single bedroom apartment (600s.f) for the past 6 years. I used to be a customer of TXU energy. Unfortunately, I have shifted to Gexa energy in the last year. Initially, I used to get $70-$80 per month. But for the past 4 months I got a bill of >$250 per month. Most of the months my consumption of electricity was below 1000 kWh. I have observed that sometimes they will change the billing cycle (they will add 1-3 days extra to cross the usage of electricity above 1000 kWh) so that the charge they can increase. My is fixed plan they should not increase the electric price at least in that contract year. I saw in couple of electric bills they charged 14.7 cents instead 13 cents. They wont respond to emails and phones properly. After all, I pre-exit the service. They charged me $155 instead of $150, saying that they included tax? Its nightmare experience with gexa energy.

I had a Gexa contract last year that gave a $100 credit for energy use over 1000 KWh per billing cycle. This year they lured me into a new contract that I thought was the same with the same $100 credit for usage over 1000 KWH. The credit was only for use between 1000 and 2000. Once you go over 2000 Kwh you get a huge bill. Not good. I'm cancelling my contract because it will only take a month to recoup the cost of cancellation fee of $295.

I had this company for 2 years the first year was from powertochoose. got a great deal so when renewal came it seemed like they were giving me another good deal but oh how I was wrong. The plan I chose was not explained to me correctly it was a 24 month plan and I got a big bill. So they correct the plan and gave me another plan, but my bills were the highest they have ever been. I made arrangements to pay my last bill before my contact was up, I had paid half and was going to pay the reminder before the next due date the rep did not tell me that I would have a switch hold put on my account, I found this out when I went to look for new service. I paid the bill, now the hold is still one there I called Gexa I chose to have someone call me back, the wait time was 20 mins 1hr and half later still no call and of course now they are closed. sorry customer service, the website is not very good either.

Gexa Energy used to be a good company, but that changed in 2021. They quit sending bills, and moved up the payment deadline by 15 or more days. Then they added a fee if you pay after the payment deadline. I used to pay at the end of the month and they moved the deadline to the 17th last month and the 9th this month. Thank goodness I changed providers and never have to deal with them again! I had to threaten filing a complaint with the Utility Commission to get them to send a bill, not an e-invoice. Save yourself a lot of grief - chose a different company.

I was out of town for several days and saw sky high charges to my account during the month in question. When I called customer service on Aug 14 to inquire further, I was advised to submit a request for billing dispute. I was given a time frame of 2-3 weeks before I heard back. And I was assured that I did not have to make payment while my dispute was being reviewed.

The following week I received a disconnection notice that my service would be disconnected if I did not make a payment. I called the company and they apologized that I should not have received that notice.

Another week later, while my billing dispute was still unresolved, I noticed that my account had a late payment penalty fee of 5% charges added. I called the company again and was advised that I should not have received that penalty fee either.

It has caused me much angst with these notices, as I have never missed a payment nor had to pay a late penalty fee. And I have called them thrice on the same issue without any resolution, even though it has been more than 3 weeks now, and I still have no resolution.

Gexa energy is the worst experience we ever had in 30 years of elect service. When they offer you a $.10 rate they then charge you huge service provider fees so actual cost is almost $.16. We rarely revived an actual bill and if you are late by day there is a late fee and disconnect notice fee immediately added to your bill. If your contract expired and you are not tracking the months carefully you will have a bill that is over $.20 per charge. We have found a much better company that gave us a rate $.10 including service fee and our first month bill was 2/3 less with more kilowatt usage. Wouldnt recommend or ever use Gexa again.

My TXU contract was expiring back on 7/9/21 after using them for the last 4 years. So I shopped around and found this company with a lower rate than I was at with TXU. So I sign up for the saver deluxe 12. It says that 1000 to 2000 kwh ill be charged 6.9 cents per kwh up to 2000. Then after 2000, 11.8 cents. And if I stay between 1000 and 2000 ill get a $100 bill credit each time. So my 1st bill comes in and its $223 and some change. I just paid TXU $229 for the final bill. So I call GEXA, and of course get India on the phone asking where my $100 credit is. They tell me my bill was $323 before the bill credit. I asked them if they were smoking some crack when they came up for that bill. Ive NEVER had a bill in my life over $300. My highest ever with TXU was $276. At 2123 kwh I paid TXU $229. With this company I used 1929 kwh and they want to charge $323 before the credit. I told them im canceling and I instantly called TXU and went back. Gexa tells me the rates on the plan I pick was an example only. What BS is that. Will never recommend a company like this that tried to screw me on my 1st bill.

Editor's Note:

Delivery charges on your Texas electricity bill are an unfortunate reality of the deregulated market. Every provider you purchase electricity from has to pay these charges to the Texas companies that maintain the poles and wires. In the past, some retailers rolled all those charges up into the energy charge, but most list it separately.

I started out with Gexa energy, transferred to another energy company. Months after transferring services Gexa sends me a statement stating I owe for services rendered. The billing cycles were for the period while with another company. When I contacted Gexa the customer service representatives where lost. The systems dont inter communication so you have to repeat yourself like a broken record. I send in invoices and payment recipients proving services rendered and paid for. Once you finally see a light at the end of the tunnel they threw another curb ball. While waiting for a customer solutions rep to return your call with a resolution, they sent my bill to a debt company.

For Sept. 2020 used 3200 KWH (same as the usage this month) and I paid $344 then. This month and last my bills have skyrocketed Jun $415 Jul $557!!! I had the same experience with TXU and Ambit. It seems if you sign more than a year contract with a provider they raise your prices. We used no more energy in July than Jun and its been cooler this year than last. More rain, fewer full sun baking days. I've been on the phone on hold for well over 90 mins got disconnected and agent didn't return call. No resolution. I want to make sure I don't have a faulty meter....I've never paid this high a bill even with Ambit or TXU and I don't plan to continue. My plan was for something like 9.5 KWH last year and this year when I renewed in Sept. 2020 they said I would have a rate of 7. 5 KHW average but didn't tell me the summer rate if over 2000 KWH usage would be 4 cents higher than I paid last year. Why would I renew a contract for a plan higher priced than I had currently. Feels like a total bait and switch. I had way lower than average bills this spring. Two bills this summer reduced any savings I managed for using under 1000 KWH in the spring. I called tonight with hard numbers and hard data. The rep kept telling me it was increased usage on our part but we used no more than last year Sept. and are paying $560. This after warning the rep on the phone in Sept.

I told them I would not pay them until my account was corrected and she said I would get an answer in 15 to 20 days. 12 days later I received an email saying my account was past due and if I didnt make a payment I would be sent to collections.

I am moving. So, of course, I needed to move my electricity company as well. The experience with GEXA energy has been horrific. I called 3 days before my move to turn on the electricity at my new residence and the agent that I talked to apparently did not do their job. They have no record of my call to turn on the electricity at my new residence. So, of course, I called for them to remedy the issue. I called and called. I talked to 3 different agents and all of them gave me the run around in broken English. The call center is located in El Salvador. I never spoke with an American. When I asked to speak with a supervisor, I was disconnected. When I called back and insisted to speak with a supervisor, they put me on hold for 2 hours!!!! I finally gave up. And I still dont have power. It is not an outage because all my neighbors have electricity. They simply have not connected my service which they do remotely. They do not need to be at my physical residence to turn on the electricity. I dont understand why they have nit turned it on and they will not let me speak to a supervisor. Do yourself a favor and do NOT use this electric company. They do NOT care about their customers.

I have been a Gexa customer for several years at my primary residence and loved their prices and service. For that reason, I decided to use them at my rental house for the last three years. When I called to renew my rental house contract last year, the rep said that I would "save a lot of money" by being on the Free Nights and Free Weekends plan - so I gladly signed up since it is a rental house and I'm trying to keep costs lower. My electric bills increased by about $75 more per month. Needless to say I was not happy. I called today to renew my contract hoping to get a better deal since I am a loyal customer with TWO separate accounts with Gexa. For that reason you would think they would be working hard to keep me. Nope!!! The rep said, "the best I can do is 9.9 cents per KWh from Gexa, plus a 4.9 cents per KWh from AEP provider, plus $4.90 per month base charge for the plan. . I asked the rep, "that's still a lot higher than my primary residence. Is that the best you can do because I can find another company that will beat that?" He says, "that's the cheapest plan." I told him, "then I guess I'm calling another company for a cheaper price." He said, "ok, thank you for calling and being a customer."

The worst company to go with. You call any customer service and say to cancel the service , one of them will say that service will be cancelled. But if you ask for confirmation number , they say no confirmation number.

Next day again called, they said, its not cancelled, and they raise another request without any ticket no or confirmation number. Like that i have to follow up for 6 business days, literally it was disconnected on the third day but i got information on 12th day of the disconnection. Until then my apartment current i am using and they charged me very heavily. Its my bad to be with them.

There is a twitter help, where they will respond to you after a month and not before that and they say, is the issue resolved ? lol.....

Let me start with the Texas ice storm. Our bill, mind you that our power was off for a week, Was three times more that month than any other month. They were overcharged by Ercot and passed it along to customers. You can bet when the state of Texas demanded her cot pay back money to the electric providers, they kept that money and did not help the customers. The billing is inconsistent, the customer service isnt competent enough to answer questions, and you get fined for leaving for a better provider!Watch, they have a standard canned response for good and bad reviews, other than your name. They are far from a sincere service provider, and customer service department!

When I first signed up with GEXA about two years ago, they were the nicest people to work with over the phone and were very helpful in helping me switch from my former electric provider. Even looked forward to talking to their customer service people from time to time when I had questions about my bill. Well, for the last several months, noticed my electric bill which started out to be around $100.00 dollars a month when I first began with them, was over $500.00. When I called their customer service rep named David, he admitted it was due to our winter storm in February my bill was so high. Said I had seven days to pay or I would be charged a late fee. Asked for more time to pay. He says seven days is the best he could do. Come on now, power was off during the storm, almost froze inside my home a couple of months ago, and I'm getting a late fee tacked on to a bill over 500.00 dollars? Customer service for this company has gone way down. I'm trapped inside a service contract until 2022 otherwise I would be switching today!

For the past 3 months I have received a late fee despite being enrolled in autopay since account inception. I call to correct and get place on hold.

I contacted customer service and was told that there was a glich and that they had received notification that I had switched providers but now they know that I have not and will take the cancellation fee off my account and not cancel my service. But I have to pay this current bill by 03/22/2021 in order to keep my account in good standing and avoid late fees. I explained that I get paid once a month and pay my bills accordingly.

When I asked if they could do anything about the excessive cancellation fee they were also quick to point out to me, again, the terms and conditions of the cancellation fee.

Be careful about signing up based on what they're marketing to you. My plan is advertised as a certain price/kw, however that price is ONLY after a $100 bill credit for using a specific range of electricity. After nearly a year, my usage didn't land within that window a single time, and when the credit isn't applied, the price is outrageous and far above what I can get elsewhere. Tried to call and have my plan changed, but they were unwilling to help and would not allow me out of my contract. Supposed to have a "60 day happiness guarantee", but that does not apply when you move or change plans. Some might tell me to "read the fine print" before signing up, but that's exactly the problem- do i really need to defend against gimmicky plans and sneaky advertising? There are other options out there who give transparent and honest pricing, so yeah, I expected the rate I was told to be the rate I get and not have to meet certain criteria buried in the details to get it. Feels like a slimy and sad business practice on behalf of Gexa... Just cancelled in the middle of my contract and reluctantly paid my $290 early termination fee, which showed up as $307.41 on my bill even though it's in writing on my EFL that the termination fee is $290. What a giant waste of money Gexa has been. I'm still going to save money by switching to a new provider after paying them this ridiculous termination fee.

When I got with Gexa over a year ago things were fine. My bill was always affordable. In December 2020 I received a bill for almost $400. I immediately called them as I knew it was a mistake since were in a two bedroom apartment. Spoke with customer service and she informed me because I went over the kWh I didnt receive the $100 credit. I was okay at first because we had the Christmas tree on most nights and sometimes during the day. Spoke with a manager and he switched my plan to ensure that my bill would be affordable with $100 credit every month. Here we are February 2021 and my bill is $458. Im beyond frustrated with this company. I signed a contract to be locked in at a certain rate, but because I went over the kWh they decided to charge me 14.3 cent. This was never told to me. I will be switching companies soon and willing to pay $150 to get out from under this scheming company! I wouldnt refer a rich person to this company. They have fail to realize that many people havent worked since Covid hit and/or still waiting on unemployment and cant afford to pay a ridiculous bill. Not sure what the contract is for when they increase the rate without discussing it with the customer first. Lessoned learned!

This company is a complete scam. They made the average billing option sound so appealing, but failed to mention that the variance every month is compounded and has to be paid either at the end of the contract or if any changes are made to the contract. We found this out when we were one year into our two year contract. THEY changed our account number, therefore making a change to our account with out consent and we were all of a sudden stuck with a $635 bill! Oh AND they did not mention that they, at any time can up our average billing payment. So what started out as a routine $44/ month payment went up to $89 and then $177! In the contract it states they can only make these changes if the customer is informed and agrees to consent, which we were not and did not.

I've been with Gexa for almost 10 years. Up until now, I swore that this was the best electricity provider of all time. My bill is $500 for one month of service out of the blue..$600 for last month. Seems like they are out to take everyone's entire stimulus check. My budget billing is $400, how could that be in a 700 square feet house, no built in electric heater, I'm only using 2 space heaters and the kitchen oven for heat. I trusted them and all that do is keep disconnecting my service and will only restore if I pay them my stimulus money. I got a disconnection notice saying that if service is turned off, I will be charged $25 disconnection fee and another $25 reconnect fee. So, $50 I'll be charged if I can't pay the $500 bill, unless I use every dime I have to get it turned back on. Horrible,for times like this. I feel like crying, I just got my disability check today (3-3-2021), and if I don't pay $500 to Gexa, I'll be without electricity. If I do pay them, I'll only have $200 for the rest of the month.

In the mean time I still have to pay the outrageous amount! No help from customer service. Just flat monotone automated responses. I am sick over this.

We went in thinking we were getting a good deal at $.10 a kw. But then somehow our usage doubled. (We did nothing differently this month) and we hit over 2000kw and boom $406. For a tiny one story house? That is absolutely ridiculous. So I called customer service, and after an hour on hold I basically got told too bad so sad. I will definitely be cancelling and not ever using again!! They are shady with their promotions and are crooks.

We did the budget billing that they did not provide enough upfront details on... you find out how it really works after your first bill... our bill average for the year before was probably around $150ish and then we signed up for budget billing and were paying less around $175 and on the app it wasn't showing the Actual Amount they say you owe... well, even when paying the monthly $175ish, somehow we were racking up another bill each month... so after 6 months we had over $1000 bill balance even though we were paying our monthly bill... and then the "renewal pricing" they offered in December to stay with them was outrageous... So we went with a new provider and now they are wanting the over $1000 bill balance even though we were paying the monthly bill amount... It's a scam to con honest paying people and make them pay double... BEWARE... DON'T USE THIS COMPANY! And if they want to comment on this an ask me to contact them, I am not wasting my time. You have my name and email and should be able to look me up from there... email me or give me a phone call if you would like to actually help fix your corrupt con.

They lured me in with their rebate promotion, $100 back after 1000 kWh of use. That worked out to something like 6 cents per kWh, about what I was paying with my previous provider. The first month was short, so I came in well under 1000 kWh. The price was astronomical, over 15 cents per kWh. I was shocked. Texas average is 11 cents, and I was paying 6 cents before. I asked the customer service rep to release me from my contract. He explained that he couldn't but that he could forward me to someone who could. I sat on hold for an hour. No one came to the line.
The next month, I was over 1000 kWh, got my rebate, but the average was still way over Texas's average. The next month, I was over 2000 kWh, but no rebate. Why? Because they said the rebate was for between 1000 and 2000. So my bill was $326, 15 cents per kWh, well over the average. In other words, unless you hit the exact sweet spot of 1001 kWh, you'll pay more than anyone else, and they'll flip you the bird when you ask to be let go from the contract. I'll find a provider that will pay my penalty and never look back. Gets can kiss my you know what.

Good Service Until You Deal With Customer Service

Set up was easy. I used a third party that was able to show the difference in price based on my needs and situation. I looked at reviews at the time both good and bad. The bad reviews were about customer service which I thought was subjective and situational. That was until I had to deal with customer service. I was moving to a new area where they could not provide service. When taking to their agents, I felt like I was talking to those guys that are running a telephone scam. We agreed on the phone that I was moving out at the end of the month and that I would not be going to a month to month contract. Not only did they not turn my power off at the end of the month, I put me automatically in a month to month. I had not missed a bill up to this point. However, with all the emails involved in buying a new home for the first time, I missed my last bill with Gexa which caused them to turn off my power after 14 days into the new month during the COVID pandemic. Makes me wonder about others that could not afford to pay their bills. My new bill had charges for the last month, new month to month, and disconnection. I told them on the phone that I want my final bill to pay and be done with it. After disagreeing on whether or not I should pay for a reconnection fee in order to pay my bill, we agreed that I will pay my last month and the disconnection fee and they would rebate the month to month. Finally, they said that my last bill will be a zero balance. My last bills arrives with fees for the month to month time. With a different agent, they stated that the first agent was wrong even though that agent alleged talked a a supervisor. However, this agent was going to rebate $25 for my inconvenience. This turned out to be a lie as the agent never rebated the $25. So I paid the amount as my time is more important and the cost was too small to deal with in court. Last thought, customer service will do whatever it takes to get you off the phone to include lying to you. Where I saved two dollars a month for the year over another plan for a total of $24, I paid just over $75 in unnecessary charges in order to cancel my service. I only got the lower monthly price with them over other companies because of their veteran plan.

For the love of God do not sign up for budget billing youre basically using Gexa like a credit card and only paying a little amount of your actual bill if you stay within your kilowatts. So they keep that remaining balance only to charge you the second you shut off service. We were forced to move back home (Florida) when my office in Houston closed. I woke up to an email that my checking account was -$500 I check it and find that Gexa decided to take out what I owed them which was $800. After being on the phone with their customer service I got a sweet paper check for $100 for the confusion on how budget billing worked. ITS A SCAM. DO NOT USE IT.

Whomever heads up their technology is incredibly underqualified -- or underfunded. 1. Their "app" is a shell that ultimately just opens your account in mobile web. 2. They sent out an email communication talking about the "new" Gexa app with screenshots that don't even match the actual app functionality. I assume it was early/a mistake, but there was never any follow-up. 3. I cannot download my own bill. Every time I try, I get a token/authentication error that says I don't have access. REPEAT: I CAN'T SEE MY OWN BILL. So, I'm now holding (for 30 minutes) to see if customer service can send me one.

As you may have guessed, that was all a lie. The biggest lie of all was that after I canceled my contract, they promised not to charge me the $150 cancellation fee as a slight show of apology for the many hours I spent figuring out how to get someone at Gexa to actually assist me. I cannot comprehend the disrespect that this company has shown towards me, a student who lives off of loans and cannot afford to pay hundreds of dollars due to corporate greed.

They appear to have new computer management systems that allow ZERO ability to go backwards and fix inputs, no ability to link accounts or use any kind of override if a situation doesn't fit their standard, narrow parameters.

We start service August 10th and they give us a 55$ bill August 15th for 3 days of service. I call and ask how I have a bill already they say oh its a mistake, we will give you a 50$ credit and you owe us the 3 days of service next months bill. I ask do I have to pay right now? They say no we will fix your bill and pay then.

Well September 15th comes and theres no new bill, but it says past due 55$. I figure well maybe the new bill will be correct, mind you I its not just been one full month cycle for a bill.

September 16th comes they cut my power and charge me $227 bill, including a disconnection fee notice (never got), and a bunch of other fees. They had the 50$ credit on the bill from the previous month. I call and they say it was a mistake again and they will give me a 47$ credit next month for the fees and a 25$ inconvenience credit for the power being out.

I ask how soon they can get the power on they say 2 hours when the bill clears. So now Im sitting here without power because Gexa screwed up two times. Worse part was I asked for a manager several times and they told me no I couldnt speak to one.

Take aways from this, I have never received a paper bill even tho its what is selected online. They publish the bills a day late.
They screw up consistently and then charge you for it, and then when you call they credit you on the future bill. So you still have to dish out money up front that you shouldnt have to pay.

Ill gladly take the $25 credit for them making a mistake but that doesnt even account for the cost to restart all appliances, cool the fridge and house and the time I wasted away from work to spend an hour on the phone dealing with their constant mistakes.

Bottom line, they suck so far

Then power shuts off. Credit Card works fine, but yeah it's written by 2 web engineers and even has some RPC code from 20 years ago. Yikes. No wonder they can't process payments correctly.

Their fixed rates have fees on top of fees which even for someone educated are so deep in fine print, it's insane. Once your plan rates are done, it's 3x the price or more. Then, once you change providers and cencell your plan... It's incessant phone calls to pay your bill ON THE DAY IT IS DUE! Nuts.

I tried to adjust my plan through Gexa's "60 day guarantee" and after speaking with 2 agents who confirmed it had been changed, it still has not been changed (and a third associate confirmed there is some issue with the requests made by the prior two). I am continuing to be billed on my initial plan, which should have been changed 3 weeks ago and apparently the only way to deal with that is by speaking to a supervisor. Unfortunately, it is IMPOSSIBLE to reach a supervisor at Gexa. On 4 separate occasions I was told I was being transferred to a supervisor - after waiting on hold each time for 30-60 minutes, I eventually gave up and tried again. Although the customer service agents I spoke with were friendly and helpful, ultimately they were unable to complete the one thing I called about and were unable to connect me to a supervisor who apparently could help. I have separately filled out a form on Gexa's website and sent an email to customer service and have received no response to either.

I've had my plan for some years, always paperless; as soon as I got my statement I would pay immediately.

Last few months I have not received my statement not by email nor by regular mail.

For the second time I received a disconnection notice with an added past due charge of 5 %

Then why do they offer paperless ? I travel frequently thus I dont have access to my mail box.

I wonder how many persons are having these past due charges

Gexa is the worst electric service provider I've ever interacted with. Not only did they take over my service without authorization (I believe the Attorney General refers to this as "slamming"), but it took 4 attempts to get them to get me out of a contract I didn't authorize. I was simply told it was an "internal error". This unauthorized billing period cost significantly more than the provider plan I was supposed to have, so I'm out that $. To make matters worse, they didn't return the service to my my prior provider, and instead cut off my power entirely the next day - with my days old newborn at home in 100 degree heat. I called and they again said there's nothing they can do. Now I'm spending hours trying to unwind the damage while my family is sweating at home waiting for electric to be restored. I'll be reporting to the Attorney General in hopes that others can avoid the same experience.

When I was shopping rates for electric plans the Gexa agent went over the plans. I told her how many kilowatts I averaged a month and what I had been paying. She gave me a price of .079 kilowatts. I specifically asked if this price included the delivery charge from Center Point Energy and she stated that it did.

When I got my first bill the kilowat price was .115 per kilowatt.

I contacted customer service and explained the problem. She was no help. I asked to speak to supervisor. She stated that she would expidite. Waited on hold close to one hour no response.

Called a second time to customer service. Had the same conversation with her only to find out that she couldn't help. Asked again to speak to a supervisor. She said she would expidite the call. Approximately 30 minutes later no response.

Called back a third time to customer service and asked to speak to a supervisor. Agent stated that the call volume was high and a wait of approximately 20 minutes or longer. I explained to the agent that I had already spent over an hour listening to the music. I asked her to have a supervisor contact me and she stated that she would expedite the message. The agent stated that it could be up to 24 hours to receive a response from a supervisor.

Question:

Why didn't the first two agents tell me about the 24 hour response time

It has been over 24 hours and no response

Why did the sales agent misrepresent the cost per kilowatt. My questions were simple and direct about the pricing. I would have never agreed to the .036 increase per kilowatt. I know exactly what was said and the price agreed on.

What is the address for accounts payable department for recouping time and cell phone useage that was incurred while waiting to talk to someone that had no intention of responding to my call. Very poor customer service!!!!!

The advertised price per kilowatt hour was 7.4 cents. Then when you click on the plan it reveals that 7.4 cents was an estimate and for our area it was more like 9 cents per kwh. When you start signing up for the service it tells you that it's only 9 cents if you use above 1000 kwh and below 2000 kwh and that your price per kwh will go up if you go over or under. When our bill came, we were expected to pay 16.3 cents per kilowatt hour, even though during our first month with them we used 1400kwh which should have put us in the ideal usage range. We have switched energy providers but not before Gexa was able to charge us a total of $853.31 for TWO MONTHS of electricity. Save yourself the headache of having to cancel the plan, which you will inevitably do.

I have been a Gexa customer several times. I understand the potential for a plan to revert to a month-to-month after a contract completes and for the cost to increase; however, Gexa increased my plan amount (after a 9 month fixed plan) to more than double what I was being charged. This took place in July during the quarantine for COVID-19. With everything going on in the world, for a company to take advantage of our high usage and health issues during this time because my entire family is home all day is a statement of who GEXA Energy is. I called to request they do something about the charge immediately after receiving the bill (of over $800) and they refused to help. I was placed on hold for over 30 minutes when I asked to speak with a manager. Worst customer service ever. Low lifes. I will post my review to every site available, as many times as possible.

When purchasing my new home I researched energy rates. I choose Gexa and their Gexa Saver Eco Plus plan. As I use a larger than average amount of KW this plan was recommended by the Gexa advisor as you get $50 off or $100 off per month depending on usage. They sold it to me as the more you use the more you get off. Well I called as I am not receiving the discount. FINE PRINT says if use 2000 - 2500 kw you get $100 off. If you use over that you receive NO discount. This is NOT how it was represented. I have called their cusomer service twice now and both times waited over 1 hour to speak to a service representative. This company just takes your money once they have you suckered in and know they have you regardless for at least one year and you won't change because there is a cancellation fee of $150 on all cancellations with Gexa. So heed my warning THERE ARE MANY REPUTABLE COMPANIES THAT WILL TREAT YOU FAIR AND NOT RIP YOU OFF! Oh did I mention that they cut my power off for non-payment and the bills they were sending were one month behind!!!!! So yes I was one month behind, I never received correct bills, paid all that you sent me! Can't wait until Feburary to change companies!!!!

When we moved from an old home to a new energy efficient home in February, I switched from Reliant (after 15 years) to Gexa based off a 3 month contract that had a great kw/hr rate. There were no extra fees or charges with this plan. The rate was great and the fees were reasonable. However, after the 3 months I received an email offer based off my usage from Gexa that has now doubled my fee every month. First it was $120, then $200, and this month was a whopping $400!!! I called to speak with someone, as it was so easy to get someone on the phone to start the plan...I waited 45 mins to be out-sourced to India. Besides not being able to understand the woman, she spoke over me and would not transfer me to speak with someone else about changing my account or getting a credit. She put me on hold and "spoke" to someone about getting a credit to which she came back with $25. Wow! I also forgot to mention that the early termination fee is $295. Do not go with this company. Do not fall for the great rates they offer initially. Do not go with a company that out sources their customer service, or lack there of.

Got an email from Beatrice Williams who said that the company would send my deposit to me because I was so dissatisfied with this company and its customer service. Got a final bill from this company for 4 days that was almost $300. And then get a refund check for $2.75. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. THIS COMPANY IS A PURE RIPOFF. It takes all day to talk to a customer service rep. Even if you have the company call you back and you call them at 10 in the morning, the company will not get back to you until almost 9 pm that night. The customer service does not do what it says. They dont disconnect you on time. You give them a $400 deposit, you pay $151.50 for your first bill, which is on June 27, 2020, disconnect service on the 7/3/2020. The idiot customer service rep says you have to wait until 7/4/2020 for disconnection- that just seems like a crock, because the 7/4/2020 is Independence Day -a national holiday.

I just signed up for Gexa. Supposed to be very cheap. For about 1200 sq ft, my first summer bill was $151.00 and my second one was $375.00!! Ouch! So the plan I have takes off $100.00 if you use between 1000-2000 kw. I used 2063.. so yes, that was over 2000. But this is July, and instead of a mont to month cycle, they used 33 days this cycle. Its up to them if they want to use anywhere from 28 days to 33 days. Beware of this. I just believe it is unethical when they can use fluctuations of the amount of days. I did call and questioned this and they gave me $25.00 off. The customer service rep talked very fast was very hard to understand. I am so tired of computerized care from these companies, it takes you a 20 minutes for a real person to come on and then you strain to understand every word. So funny when you call to set up service, you get to talk to an easy to understand American.. but once youre under contract!! Its so very frustrating!!

Horrible experience! Signed up for a plan and had no problems initially getting through to customer service about my bill. It was a partial month bill so I did not receive the credit expected on my plan. When I received the second bill I began calling to cancel my service. 5 weeks it took to talk to someone! I was placed on hold for over an hour 7 times. I tried the call back option but if I missed the call I was placed in the back of the line and had to wait again for them to call me hours later. Like I can sit there and wait for them to call me while I am at work. After finally getting a hold of a manager I was able to cancel my plan past the sixty day window but he would not adjust my bill past that. I had been trying to cancel the plan and because they were understaffed and had horrible customer service I ran over into another billing period. The plan I was charged was not what I signed up for and I was stuck with another months billing. After months of intermittent correspondent they sent me a letter saying they were willing to settle on an amount that was basically the full payment minus the late charges they added. Now in collections they wont negotiate past removing the late charges. I was told I would have to contact Gexa to discuss any further reductions. Called Gexa, only on hold for 20 minutes, and they said I have to speak with the collection agency!! Finally got through to specialty department and everyone was to busy to talk to me so I opted for a call back. Nope that didn't happen. I called back after 4 days and was placed on hold for a bit again before I talked to Ira. No progress with him. To this day I can see the page that says " no hidden fees. The rate shown below already includes all fees, discounts, and Oncor delivery charges". Yet I got charged additional fees and delivery charges. I am willing to pay for the power I used per the plan that I signed up for. That amount is 40% below what they are demanding. The discussion never gets passed all the legal jargon to get to a reasonable conversation.

I can't stress enough how little I take the time to write a review, so when I do, it's gonna be some real talk. Be prepared to wait for over an hour to talk to customer service. Be prepared to have calls "dropped" when being transferred. Complete lack of communication over billing dispute. After setting up an account/service...not 10 days later, I reach an email from Gexa asking if I wanted to "cancel services". Naturally, confused since I had just moved in, I contacted them trying to resolve the dispute/confusion. No response. Another issue with service happened 2 weeks ago; still no call back. Whatever you do, save your time and your money and DO NOT choose this second rate company's services. You'll thank me later.

After only two months of service Gexa turned our house power off even though we had paid in full and had a healthy deposit on file. They only gave us eight days on the disconnection notice (which was erronous) and turned it off in the middle of a day. When we called to ask why it was off, they use only foreign customer service agents that are difficult to understand and had limited information. They were unable to accept payment over the phone due to covid-19. Stay away from this company!

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE REVIEW BEFORE SELECTING GEXA AS YOUR ELECTRICITY PROVIDER!Last week, after regularly paying my bills throughout my contract to date, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, with a 6-year-old diabetic child at home dependent on refrigerated insulin, Gexa cut off my electricity for missing a payment by 17 days. Do I deny missing the payment? No. Was I sufficiently warned of the impending potential disaster? No. Here is the time table.My payment was due May 15, 2020 (I freely admit I missed the payment as a result of an oversight on my part). On May 19, 2020 Gexa noted as mailed to me a DISCONNECTION NOTICE stating they would disconnect my electricity on the first business day on or after May 29, 2020. A disconnection notice generated four days after the payment was due; a huge red flag of customer service driven my mercenary corporate policies. The notice arrived at my home on Monday, May 25, 2020. Blissfully unaware of the impending disaster, I waited to open the letter until my normal bill paying Saturday which was May 30, 2020. As Friday, May 29, 2020 was a business day and my electricity was still running, it was clearly apparent Gexa had not followed the terms of their notice and had humanely taken into account the worldwide disruption precipitated by COVID-19 and was giving me some slack. MAN, WAS I WRONG! On that Saturday AM I scheduled a payment in full to be sent June 1, 2020 and received by Gexa on June 3, 2020 (per my bank, which is solidly reliable). On Monday, June 1, 2020, Gexa cut off my electricity. Ten business days after my payment due date slightly over two weeks! UNBELIEVABLE!My child, thankfully, never realized the potential danger. However, the damage was done. The ruthless commerciality of Gexa, for the sake of $122.97, had HAD put my childs life at risk.A one-star review is too high for Gexa.

I went with them because I thought it was the cheapest. Turns out the $40 off if you reach 500 Kwh is not actually cheap (1 bedroom apartment commonly reached $80 where on my old plan was closer to $50/$60 for the same place). But that is on me for choosing that plan. When I moved they tried to charge me for leaving the contract early despite the move (other companies just ask for a forwarding address and that is it - I have never had an issue with a different company). The customer service is just a pain. I have been emailing for weeks (after calling twice waiting over an hour each time to get this taken care of) to just get them to correct the new address. They wrote the state twice (once right between the main address) and wrote the city twice two different ways. It was not some tragic horrible experience but there are so many choices for electricity, why bother with one that is this much of a hassel. I am glad to no longer be a customer. Oh, and I moved out on a Saturday and since they are not open on the weekend I couldn't have service disconnected until Tuesday. Although a week prior I had an email that they asked what day I wanted to be disconnected - they just never did it. So I was paying the electricity after I moved out which is frustrating.

I was lured by the cheap rates for electricity. Don't be fooled like me. This company is sinister and heartless. While other companies like phone and cable and water are working with their customers, Gexa doesn't care about hard times and pandemics. They will not allow you more than two days late to pay your bill and literally just cut off my lights over $59.54 two days late. And this was after they repeatedly refused to change my billing cycle to align with my monthly pay cycle. Run from them and find a company that respects their customers and understands they are running a highly needed utility. Cheap rates are worth being treated like trash and having all the food go bad in your refrigerator while Gexa plays heinous games.

I took my time to understand how all the charges are calculated and still Gexa got me.

I liked Gexa for the first year or so, until my bill shot through the roof. I was paying up to 17 cents/kwh. They locked me into a two-year contract paying 12+ cents/kwh and my bills hae been roughly $300/month despite the fact that I was almost never here until the recent lockdown, and my A/C has never been set above 75 degrees. MY APARTMENT IS 700 SQUARE FEET. Buyer beware. I was happy that my first summer bill was $70 back in 2014, but they've been a gouging nightmare ever since. And they just threatened to shut me off after my current ($0 overdue charges) $104 bill was 6 days late, even though I'm out of work due to the current crisis and Texas passed laws against utility shutoffs. Gexa is garbage and I want a refund, at least enough to switch to a different provider without having to pay their stupid $200 break-of-contract fee. I barely even use electricity and they're killing me.

When I switched over two years ago it was fine; of course the two renewals keep going up. Then I asked for a deferment due to COVID-19, and all they offered - even though I had never paid my bill even a day late - was half down, then 25% each ofthe next two months. When I went to make my payment two days later the agreement was not showing on my account so I sent a message; the reply, which came three days later, said it would not show until the initial payment was made. Now they are saying I lost the plan. The customer service person was completely unhelpful. Not only will I not renew again I may just pay the penalty to get away from them.

We signed up with these crooks after purchasing our house. So we had roughly 1 month at our old home and then switched service to the new house. This is where the problems started. We signed up for auto draft, but it wasn't taken out after we moved so I mailed a check. They cashed the check and then autodrafted our account the next day, over $100. I figured no big deal, it will roll over as a credit for next month. NOPE. We called and called and called and they kept saying there was no credit on our account. Well, there's definitely a negative balance, hence the (-) in front of the amount. They collected a payment twice and it was never reflected on a bill. Fast forward a month, my husband told them we would expected the credit on our account and would pay the bill when that had happened. They charged us over $90 in illegal notices (check out Texas Usery Law, this is 100% illegal.) stating our account was past due + a late payment fee that exceeds the 18% interest (annually) allowed by law. Of course we paid the bill. The next month, they shut off our electricity prior to the due date and charged us over $100 in re-connect fees. Our bill for this month is $290. The same times last year, our bill was TXU was $130. This company is a total sham and the power to choose website is providing false information. With the $100+ they are charging in fees + the $100+ in transmission fees, I will happily pay the early termination fee and send my money to more reputable company.

Like so many others I'm struggling with my budget and trying to make ends meet this often means that due dates on bills have to slide. This I am 50 plus years old now and in my entire life I have never known an electric provider there won't 1st issue you await warning and then 30 days later issue you a disconnect notice. I have noticed with Jackson energy if you were just 2 days late with your payment they issue a disconnect notice. The good thing is they're finally sending it correctly the bed thing is these idiots turn me off the Day After Christmas without proper notice. I am now one day late with my Jan bill and they have issued a disconnect notice even though they agreed I would pay this Friday when I get paid. Unless you are flush with ready funds to pay them on time 100% and remember to do so avoid this company like the plague...

The Gexa grinch is showing up at my house for Christmas this year. I am a mere 4 days late with my payment due the way my pay periods fell this time, and Gexa wasting no time whatsoever has already issued a disconnect order. Every other electric provider would let you slide up to a month if you needed, but Gexa is unwilling to budge. I deeply regret jumping on board with them for the low costs.. The low costs are great, and the customer service people are okay, but they are being limited harshly on how flexible they can be by their company policies. I wish it wasn't this way, but it is what I have to deal with while this contract runs out.

I recently switched to Gexa & this has got to be the most expensive electric company I have ever had. There are addl charges they DONT tell you about in the beginning. Im trying to decide if I should cx my service & go elsewhere. My bill for the month of Oct/nov (keep in mind it was cold I never used ac & I have a gas heater) was an ungodly amount of $445! This is ridiculous! The highest I ever paid (in this house for 6 yrs) was 189. This time of year. Even in summer I never paid this high of a bill! Idk who gives them all these 5 stars but u have got to work for them or they are paying for these great ratings. Oh and I am on a plan that is 6.9kwh. Yea ok in no way does this constitute a $445 bill for 1 month w no ac & did I mention I was on vacay for 12 of the days w everything off & no one in the house!

Neither month did they attempt to take the payment via auto-pay. I was told the first time that it was a partial month and I accepted that. I called the second time and was told it's my fault, remove the auto-pay and reenter it. I asked to speak with a manager, but was told they were too busy.

I am so disappointed with Gexa. My service was disconnected after the app did not save the changes I made to the account, and of course I cant get ahold of anyone to help me. My food has spoiled, it is unbearably warm, and I am unable to work as my internet connection doesnt WiFi without electricity. I have always been an autopay customer, always been in time, and after my credit card was compromised, logged into the Gexa app to change the auto bill to my checking account. I had no idea that if hadnt saved. I got no phone call, no warning. Got home late at night from a business trip to find a mess. Very disappointed in Gexa as all of this could have easily been avoided with a simple phone call.

Prices had been higher then previous electric company I had , the big difference is the different rates based on kilowatt hours ... one rate for 0-500 another for 501-1000 and another for 1001-1500 etc etc , I was on a plan that you would receive an 85 credit for 1500-2000kwh, when I went over 60kwh for the summer my rate doubled and the credit was erased , contacted customer service , they said the credit only applies up to 2000 kWh after tht you pay a much higher rate , my payment for that month was twice as much. I decided to cancel service and rather pay a early termination fee then get charged doubled if I go just a little over my contract . I figured I would make up the difference in a couple of months rather then deal with a shady company , my previous provider was amigo energy and I wished I had stayed with them

I have been with gexa for years and recently had a horrible experience. Was informed I was locked in at 7.8c per kWh only to find out it was 13.71c per kwh. I have been waiting on hold for over an hour to speak with someone. The operator gives you the option to press 1 so an available rep can call you back but it NEVER works so you are stuck waiting on the phone still. Gexa was so good for years but highly disappointed. I got an email saying I may be charged $295 to cancel but was told my fee would be waved if i chose to terminate by a representative a few days back. We shall see when someone FINALLY answers.

Having dealt with all the other shenanigans that involve moving 200+ mi away, I didn't think this would be the most aggravating process. I've been a customer for almost 2 years--no issues. As soon as I actually need to talk to someone (based on their policy of being UNABLE to cancel service online) they're not there to pick up the phone. I've spoken with an agent thats not this broker company and they've said they keep getting complaints that no one's been picking up the phone since yesterday (Monday).

I ve been with them over a year. My plan said 5.2 cents per Kw ,and when asked if delivery charges are included I was told several times - yes.Well - NO.

Decided to switch to a new plan - a lot of plans under 9c per Kw and when read carefully ( they wont go into much details about that with you on the phone) but this would be the energy charge without delivery fee if you spend over 1000Kw , AFTER you get $95 credit for spending over 1000Kw, If you spend under 1000 you will be charged 17cents + per Kw, plus delivery charges....they know how to talk to you to trick you into signing a contract, but once you see your bills you start questioning what is going on....

My nightmare started with Gexa from the very beginning when they entered the wrong date to switch my service. First of all good luck getting anyone on the phone, wont happen, be very very careful to how they describe each plan because theyre very tricky and deceptive, everything they promised went straight down the toilet after receiving my bill. They recommended one of their plans for me after they reviewed several past months of my service history and quoted approximate monthly bill to be much lower than the $225.00 bill from my , at that time, current provider Ambit energy, which im back with but to my utter shock these freakin thieves with their sneaky snakey moves billed me $400!!! I live alone in a 1000 sq ft duplex and 2 months prior had a brand new a/c heater system professionally installed to further guarantee a low electric bill and these crooks found a slick way to rip me off!!! I dont care how tempting thier plans and advertisements look its all a con to make them rich and you poor. This is the first time Ive ever wrote a bad review about any company before but this had to be told. I also filed a formal complaint with Austin electricity commission.

I had several options when choosing my electric company and unfortunately I chose Gexa. I moved into my house in May and everything was fine until my August bill came in. They charged me for "other charges" from a servicing company that they utilize called Oncore. Oncore charged me over $250 from disconnecting fees FROM BEFORE I LIVED AT THIS RESIDENCE. I called Oncore and they sent me to Gexa, I called Gexa and they sent me to Oncore. This happened three times and I finally said no, you are going to help me. I talked to a helpful guy and we all agreed that these charges were incorrect and that I would get a credit, not a refund, but a credit on my bill within 60 days. About 30 days later I get a letter in the mail saying that these charges were accurate and that I will not be getting a credit. Complete BS! Nobody at Gexa wants to assist in the matter and Oncore doesn't have a clue. Gexa blames Oncore and Oncore tells me to call Gexa! Complete run around after HOURS on the phone. I do NOT recommend Gexa. Worst thing about it is that it is completely out of your control. If you refuse to pay then you lose electricity and they will file collection on you so either way you lose and it is completely up to their discretion. I signed up for Gexa and they refuse to assist me in getting this figured out, they just tell you to call Oncore but one, I didn't sign up for Oncore and two Oncore tells me to call Gexa. AGAIN I WAS CHARGED FOR SERVICES THEY DID A MONTH BEFORE I MOVED IN!!

My bill went from 75 a month for 2 people to 370 and they said its due to the plan we are on. I was told we used almost double the energy from one month to the next and for the past 5 year have been consistent in usage! So my question was how is it possible we used double only one in 5 years. I asked them to recheck the meter and they said no it was accurate.

Currently on hold dor 30 minutes now. I applied for service yesterday and they told me that I would receive a call in 24 hours for a credit review. I didnt understand why but said okay. 26 hours later no call from Gexa so I promptly called another company with immediate service. I also called Grza to just cancel the entire application. The person who answered the phone stated oh we show service for the address, no deposit required. I said I want to cancel being that you never called me to say anything. Because I am not too familiar with how this works in Texas I told her I would call right back which was 2 minutes later because it only took that amount of time to speak with the other company regarding the situation. At the end of this review I am still on hold with Gexa now 35 minutes. Oh by the way if you want a phone call back which I keep pressing 1 but it doesn't go through.

I'm an avid electricity rate connoisseur and have been for 20 years almost since they didn't monopolization back in 2001. I want every person out there, that these old companies try to reel you in by offering discounts if you use a certain wattage of electricity. Not only is that the dumbest thing every if you think about it. So I used an ad on Google when I first moved into my new home and I noticed that all that was popping up with gexa plans in reliant TXU mostly so that wasn't really a happy with none of the race he was offering but I went with what I thought was the best one which was 12.5 cents per kilowatt hour and if I use over a thousand kilowatt hours oh, I get a $70 credit well last month after my $70 credit my bill was still $198. I have never had an electric bill that high in my life for 10 years now I've been using for change and not only is a customer service exceptional there's no hole times, and their rates blow all of them old fashioned one companies out of the water there's no question if every person knew how much money they could say by ditching those companies and going with zero or four change companies like that they would shocked and I want everyone to know that 4change has a rate of 7.4 cents per kilowatt hour for the 1st thousand to watch used then it goes to 4 cents. Up to 1,500 to 1 hours and after that it goes back up the 7 my bill for August with only $109 not only that. You don't pay all these bull crap bees all these other companies charge you like delivery costs production charge lights for your electricity to be made it's like the nickel-and-dime you on top of their reading it it my goal is to freaking drive every customer way from them so they go bankrupt if every person knows how much money they can save I'm sure everybody would love to say money why would you want to pay double for no reason especially in this day and age so just do the research and stay away from the XL reliant and TXU because they get you on those free nights and weekends little they tell you they charge it for that amount on your rate the rest of the building. So you really don't get the weekends free it's bull crap and it's freaking lies worst company ever I literally move so I can get out of my contract I never even want to hear their name in my life. Another thing is one month I was short by hitting my thousand kilowatt-hours by like 5 hours and they would not credit the seventy bucks so it's like freaking a gamble to get the thousand but then at the same time you got to think your training yourself bad habits by leaving on lights just to use a thousand little one hours after being and steals all of our lives to save electricity dumbasses that makes no sense whatsoever.

BEWARE OF FALSE SAVINGS AND REBATES FROM GEXA, TXU, RELIANT! THESE CUSTOMERS Have Twice As High Of A Bill Then 4change Zero And Smaller Green Energy Companies I've Been Tested 14 Years Now Why Pay Additional Fees That Are 32 Bill When You Don't Have To from Fort Worth, TX on August 11th, 2019

I have data from Texas Smart meter back to 2014 and I should have reviewed the rate Plan with Gexa more in-depth than I did when signing up with them a few months ago. In the 10 years, I have lived in my home, I have never had a bill over $216. Yet, with the tiered structure for this 24-month plan through Gexa, my July plan is $460. This is outrageous. It is, of course, my fault but I would think the Regulatory commission would do more to simplify the detail when selection just as they do during a mortgage signing with truth-in-lending chart. I review that when I signed up and it appears my rates would be lower with Gexa than previously with Bounce. I have a $295 change fee but do not care in ever doing business with Gexa again. I plan to call them Monday to see if I can switch to another Gexa plan without a change fee. I am not expecting that to be the case and plan to move to another company like 4Change or Constellation or even DirectEnergy.

I recently changed to Gexa Energy primarily so I could get a 24 month plan. I did not know I would be penalized $85 for going over 2,000 kHw by looking at the plan available on the site. I am sure it was in very small print. I have been a buyer of electricity for the last 40 years. My worst experience ever. I have paid two months of bills that are 100% over last year. Even with the penalty, the bills should have not been so high. I have brand new appliances so they are not part of the problem. I am not getting much help in finding out if an error occurred on Gexa's part. I have a 2500 square foot home. The bill for May was $480 and the bill for June was $612.

The first four years were great. My bill was constant and predictable. My usage remained the same.

But could not tell me why? I did not change anything. So now my July bill is in and its huge as well $464. Apparently I am paying 18.9 a kWh when I was at 8.4 cents a kwh. Very sneaky it slide up and Wham! I am slammed with this. So I am trying to negotiate a better plan with them. I can not leave without paying a $295 penalty and I am not convinced the other electric companies are any better. So I am stuck with Gexa and we shall see how it shakes out. I usually dont write reviews but I wanted to let buyers beware: these electric companies suck us in and all is well and the blindside us with a devastating bill and little recourse

I called Gexa and they moved me to a new plan that fit my budget better but I still owed that large bill and had I known this at the start I would not have picked Gexa as my provider.

I just got of a 45 minute hold on the telephone trying to get my customer number from a cSA at Gexa. When given the option to leave a call back number, the "MOOD" music came back on and would not take all of the digits thus recycling me back to more "mood" messages and music. If this is an example of 1) Gexa's customer service or 2) their Ineptness at software design, the heaven help us customers. Heck, a high schooler can produce better interactive software than I experienced at Gexa!!

I changed to Gexa when my permanent rate company (Frontier Utilities) had expired their 1 year promotion contract, which was of $74 dollars when using from 1000 to 2000 kWh, so I paid $74 dollars almost all 12 months.

My fiance and I have struggled with this company since day one when they "lost" our deposit. Then it took them 3 weeks to turn on our electric. We made a payment arrangement to have our bill paid a few days after our due date and decided to pay it 2 days before our scheduled arrangement. Today, I noticed that Gexa pulled their payment not once but twice out of our account. When my fiance spoke with a customer service representative the exact words were, "You should have canceled your payment arrangement after you made your payment, this is your fault not ours." Well, like most businesses when you make your payment in advance in automatically cancels the payment arrangement, right? Not according to Gexa, because our payment that we made 2 days prior didn't even credit our account. Now we have to wait up to 10 business days to recieve our money back. This company is beyond unprofessional and they DO NOT care about YOU or your FAMILY! When our electric took 3 weeks to get turned on in the middle of July we explained to them we had kids,that they couldn't sit in a hot house for that long. They told us to sleep in our vehicle with the air on. Please do not use this company they will give you the go around and constantly try and get more money out of you.

Gexa Energy is a lousy good for nothing company. Try calling them about service, you will be waiting for an agent while your cell phone battery runs out! I had to get a new credit card issued due to a fraudulent charge and I was told the new card would update all my autopays. Well I didnt and my bill got behind and I go no warning and they cut off my power! Since I couldnt get an agent I had to go on my iPad and set autopay correctly. Now that the payment accepted I will have to wait until the following day to restore power! They also misled me when selling this plan. I thought I was getting a cheap rate and the started tacking on this monthly charge of $50 that is not even usuage!!!! Stay away from this fraud company!! You have been warned.

I closed my Gexa account in October 2018 because the plan was not clear; if I used between 500-1000 kWh I was charged per kWh, but if I went even 1 kWh over 1000 I was charged a flat rate of $185 and this was NOT made clear when I signed up for the service and was so desperate to get out from under this company that I was willing to pay the cancellation fee of $150. The final bill with cancellation fee came to $187.I called to set up a payment arrangement and they agreed to $20/month, but mostly have been paying more. I have made all of my payments on time, and when I went online yesterday to make the payment that was due April 26th, the balance showed $0 due and I was unable to make my payment. I received a call this morning from a collection agency stating that my account was sent to collections on the 24th...2 days prior to my most recent payment due date. I have been working extremely hard to get my credit score up and set up the arrangement for this purpose, and they completely ignored it! After hanging up with the collection agency I called Gexa to get to the bottom of it but they refused to speak with me, claiming I did not have an accout with them at allwhich does not make sense to me because I am still able to logon to the customer portal.Do yourself a favor and AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!!!!!!!! The plan terms are not made clear when you sign up, and they have no regard for someone attempting to pay down an outstanding bill, every customer service reps I have spoken to has been extremely rude and talked down to me. I will NEVER recommend Gexa and will continue to tell everyone I know to stay away!

I MOVED... they knew this. I was so upset.

Very disappointed, First week of switching to Gexa I received my first bill 141.32 for just 8 days of service, called them and told Me, that because I didn't spent 1000 kwh, I wasn't expecting a bill from them, that soon.So, now I have my second bill and charges are 581.20 called them and ask why? They told me, that because I spent more than 2000 kwh. Advertise 7c per kilowatt fixed rate, but don't specify other charges, like TDU charges and that you have to spend certain kilowatts to get those 7c per kwh, when is supposed to be a fixed rate, you have to spend 1000 kwh to 2000 kwh, to really get the 7c if you get 1 less or 2 more of that, you will be charged, for whatever they wantyou really have to read the contract and very well.

Apparently, they had opened two accounts, one for my current address, and one for an address of a different apartment. I had called them to fix this issue 3 separate times, and the issue was never fixed. This even affected my credit score, as they claimed I was past due on bills I never should of had to pay in the first place. Then when it comes time to cancel my plan, they claim I've only been using this plan for 1 month because the idiots opened up a new account for the same wrong address.

Long story short....been a Gexa customer for a few years and was very satisfied. Always have had a Fixed Rate contract...when renewal came up they offered me another Fixed rate contract @ 10.4/kWh for average 2000kWh per month usage. Started receiving bills that were more than DOUBLE previous contract. After waiting on hold for 30 minutes I wasted more time talking to Iram who couldn't explain the mathematics to me either. How does a fixed rate of 10.4/kWh add up to an invoiced amount of over 16/kWh on average? They invoiced me one rate for the first 1000kWh, another rate for the next 1000kWh, and then a 3rd rate for any kWh hours above that PLUS they billed me separately for the TDU charges when the contract clearly states that price includes Energy plus Usage Credit plus TDU delivery chargesBottom line.....the reason your hold times are 30 minutes plus is because so many people are calling to complain about the fraud. They will do NOTHING to make it right with you.Beware of this company.......they aren't interested in keeping you as a customer......too many better options out there.I swallowed the early termination fee and fired them......will easily make it up on the first 2 utility bills from a reputable company.

Avoid this company! I had them for a year and had no issues. I called them and signed up for another year, and notified them I was moving. I renewed for a fixed rate but they put me on a month to month plan. After my bill jumped to over 400 a month I called and plead my case. It took a while but they went through my records and saw I had renewed at a low fixed rate. They put me on a fixed rate, but a higher rate. They said it was because of the peak season. I'm new to Texas and didn't know how this works, so I took them at their word. Well, after four straight months of 400 plus month bills, I spoke with apartment management and found out the air condition isn't working correctly, so they replaced it. I was on the level payment plan, so my payment was affordable. I then received a notice that they reconfigured my level payment plan from 100 to 370 a month. I called and asked them to reconsider because of the circumstances and the issue was resolved with the air conditioner, and I wouldn't be using so much energy. So they took the last four month, which was during the summer to determine my payment. I explained my usage was going down as they could view the tracker. They declined and have kept my payment plan at 370. Just received my October bill. Went from 400 plus to 97!!!!! No need to have adjusted my bill so high. I will not renew once my contract is up with this company. I plan on telling everyone to avoid.

Horrible company, customer support and service! Do not ever use this company, they are fraudulent. If you do, you better check your credit. I've never had light service with Gexa Energy but somebody did in my name. I am a victim of Identity Theft and Gexa allowed this to happen. They allow an unauthorized enrollment for lights in my name through their internet enrollment program. When the thief did not pay the bill they sent the account to collections in my name. When I saw this on my credit report, I called Gexa to inform them that this account was fraudulent, not mine and ask them to remove it. They DID NOT CARE and it shows in their Non-customer service skills. I have tried to resolve the issue by providing proof (documentation) requested by Gexa proving this account was fraudulent. However when I did provide proof, I was told that it was FAKE and insufficient even the police report. I ask Collections why is it that someone can get service in your name with NO PROBLEM but when you call to report fraud all you get is the policy and procedures (mumbo-jumbo, I need ID, DOB, proof of residents, blood from your 1st born), a lot of Bull and being told they are having a lot of fraud issues. WELL, if those same policy and procedures were in place at the time of enrollment then maybe Gexa wouldn't have so many fraud issues and I would not have prove my IDENTITY. Remove this fraudulent charge removed from my credit period. (All 3 credit bureaus).

Our power bills fo almost 2 years ranged from $150 to the highest $285 in the hotest months. After signing up with GEXA our first bill was $485, and no that did not include a deposit. Used just over 2000 kw hours. Outrageous. Customer service no help. Had to terminate and go with Constellation... no matter the $150 termination fee.

I choose Gexa due to the fact they were advertising a 8.5Kw pricing which is what I signed up for. What was not explained in the marketing material that was for only those users who were under 1000Kw monthly. Instead I received a bill for 12.5kw for the month. When I called to inquire as to billing issue, I was told because I had exceed the monthly usage I had to pay the higher rate. I then asked to find a better rate, and was provided a better rate, I asked that it be applied to the currently billing period which was denied. So I end up paying 2 periods at 12.5kw when this was not what I thought I had signed up for nor able to change.

The plan documents show a low 8.7 cents per kwh for 2,000 kwh. With EVERY other plan from another provider I have used, that rate would apply to everything over 2,000 kwh. However, if you read the fine print (which I did for the first time after receiving a much higher than expected bil) that price only applies between 1,500 and 2,000 kwh. Everything over 2,000 kwh is priced at 10.7 cents. My bad for not reading the fine print, but disguising the pricing like that is inexcusable. I'm happy to spend the $150 fee for early termination.

This was my second go-round with Gena and I was very happy until the Houston temps soared! First, I know I didnt sign up for a 12-month plan but thats what I told I was listed to have so I couldnt change without a long costly dispute and cancellation fees! Customer service rep was nice but inexperienced and script-stricken! Told them I needed time to pay the huge amount that wasnt expected but they gave no real options to avoid disconnection. Usage alert emails used to help in managing the bills to keep my costs down, but those were VERY inconsistent with Gexa. Gexa isnt a horrible company, theyre just sticking to the current billing trends which are truly designed to take advantage of customers so that companies get higher profits! Gexa like others could easily stick to a straight-forward, flat rate pricing model, but their tiered model that stacks rates on monthly fluctuating kW usage is very hard for most people to understand, let alone calculate if you either dont keep up with all your usage history info from month-to-month/year-to-year OR if you dont have a crystal ball. Last but not least, companies like Gexa should allow people who clearly say they have trouble paying their bill to switch plans to get a break or end the contract early without a hefty fee because if theres no way to get their bill down to a reasonable amount they can pay, why charge them a cancellation fee just to weasel them into paying the exorbitant costs!! Looking back its my fault for choosing Gexa because Ive always known that the companies who pay for tv ads arent EVER really concerned with anything except profits.

To make sure I wasnt misunderstanding, I said, so my bill will be either $21 or $99!? Yes mam, she said. Great! I signed up. I got my first bill from Gexa ... can you guess what the total was? I used 1,190 kWh and my bill was $171.53!!!! They combine Tier 1and 2 charges then add on TDU/Oncor charges. Guess who didnt tell me that? Gexa. Of course I called Gexa to complain, and they blamed me! You should have read the fact sheet we sent you. Uh, I called Gexa before I signed up, why would the fact sheet be any different?They offered a $96 credit, but I am stuck with this ridiculous plan for a year.

I am a new customer of GEXA, started my service with them from the 1st of June. First of they didn't tell me that the meter reading is taken every month between 10th and 13th. So after 11days of the service I got my first bill! I called the customer service and they explained to me about their meter reading policy. I explained to them that I cannot pay the bill because I just paid $120 to my last provider for the month of May. The representative told me she will give a $25 customer satisfaction credit. After a week, I wanted to my new adjusted bill which should be around $46 but still shows $71. I called them again, the lady told me the credit is still pending so please to go ahead pay the $46. I did, and guess what after my due date I received a disconnection notice for not paying the $25 and that notice comes with an additional $10 fine! I call them AGAIN, representative told me this time that the $25 credit will be given to the new bill and told me to pay the $25 and he will waive the $10 fine. Ok! I paid the $25. Next I received my new bill, I see that precious $25 credit(thank god) but also the $10 that was supposed to be waived by the last rep. I call them AGAIN, he checked my account and applied the $10 credit. This time I asked him specifically when this credit will be given? He tells me most likely to the next bill, so please go ahead make the full payment for this month. And after this he even had the guts to tell me to make sure to make payments on time to avoid the disconnection notice and fee!?!? Was that even my fault that I didn't pay that $25 before the due date? That was their rep's fault who didn't convey the correct information to me. So unsatisfied with GEXA. I wish I never changed my previous provider of 10 years.

I called GEXA again immediately, and fortunately was able to cancel and reverse the process. I was informed with no penalties. I hope that's the case, but based on my experience, I'm not so sure.
The last agent I spoke to at GEXA was unable to tell me how much I would have tp pay for 1 kilowatt of electricity had I chosen to stay with GEXA. He kept saying it's hard to say, it's based on average, which I totally did not understand

I have only been a customer of Gexa for a few months but so far I am happy with my rate and service. The bill pay website has frustrated me both times as the links to pay have caused me to have to login more than one time per visit. My original start up date was delayed thru what was explained to me by Customer Service as a fault of the local provider but eventually I was switched after about a week's delay. I am waiting for my plan promotions to kick in as well.

I signed up with Gexa because they advertised a price of 5.9 cents for a one year contract. I got my first full bill and the price I'm paying is 9.5 cents kwh. Now I'm stuck with this rate for one year. It would be nice if Gexa advertised the real price and not try to trick consumers with a false advertised price. Beware. I won't use them again.

Well, I thought I had found a company to stick with. Easy sign-up, great rates, auto billing and online account access was a breeze. But, when renewal time comes around, the specific plans they offer you are nowhere near your current plan. I expected my plan to go up, but even the best renewal plan was double my current plan based on my 12 months of usage. Isn't it easier to keep a customer than replace a customer??? Can't you just give me a plan that you're offering new customers? If not, I switch, and that's what I ended up doing. You aren't like Spectrum or AT&T - there's plenty of competition and you can't just double the rates without someone noticing. Doesn't make sense to just hope you get someone to renew at a doubled rate and then deal with the complaints, reviews, bad references, etc. Why not just give your existing customers a decent renewal rate and not have to compete as hard for new ones?

I used powertochoose and saw Gexa's rates and jumped too fast. They show 6.5c avg for 500kWh, 5.5c for 1000kWh and so of course that was a great deal I thought! They actually charge 58 cents per kWh that goes over 1000 so I ended up with an extra $145 for January. When I sent messages online it was always some automated, "here's the contract" or "here's documentation" - never someone that actually looks and talks "normally." When calling, same thing, the lady seemed nice, but she was just a contract repeater, emotionless - of course you can tell she didn't want to say "yea we scam people all the time, sorry this happened to you" but more like: "A lot of our clients called in asking questions for January because the heaters were used a lot." Then more blah blah and refers to contract rates. Other than the January bleep, my bills have been lower than usual so it kind of events out. I'm just bitter that they lure and hit people hard like that with the 1000kWh+ charges.

Im very disappointed towards this company !

Were sorry to hear that you are disappointed with your recent experience with us. Electricity usage can be affected by several different factors during colder months like the ones weve been experiencing. In fact, heating an apartment can actually use up to three times more electricity than is used to cool it down, which equates to a higher bill.

I am old and use very little electricity per month, normally about 650 to 800 in summer and 300 to 400 in winter. (gas heat) So the gexa low usage plan with the $40 rebate was excellent! ($40 rebate for usage between 500 and 1000kwh) Very low electric bills all summer! But now that the AC is off, my usage dropped below 500. The $40 rebate disappears! So my bill for 450 kwh was almost double my last month's bill for 600kwh! YIKES! The Gexa gotcha! Here's what to do: In the winter time when you are not using the AC, use an electric space heater enough to bring your bill to the 500 kwh threshold. Then switch to your gas heat to save even more! The main thing is to monitor your usage and make sure that for your billing cycle you are always as close to just over 500kw as possible to get the best monthly deal. Other than that, Gexa has been excellent in all respects. Seems dumb to have to use more electricity to get a lower bill!

Based on my experience with Billing & Account Management at Gexa Energy, I will recommend AGAINST using their services. My 6-month plan was to terminate 8/31. I confirmed cancellation of the plan online on 8/17. At the time my plan was to cancel (8/30) Hurricane Harvey was hitting Houston and I was unable to follow up on the cancellation. Since I didn't CALL to cancel my plan, they did not honor the cancellation, and I was charged up until 10/16 when they finally terminated my plan. In this time, I spoke to representatives over the phone on 4 occasions, each lasting more than 25 minutes as I repeated the same information each time and they placed me on holds and transfers, etc. They refused to adjust my billing for the period of time before I spoke to someone over the phone, and thus I was charged for 1 month of services during which time I was not residing in the apartment. The bill was double that of my highest bill during actual usage.I will note that use of the electricity services themselves were fine and costs were low on a 6-month new user plan.

Beware of Gexa and any other energy company that gives you a tiered rate chart when you sign up. That final tier, 2000 kwh, is NOT your rate for 2000 kwh and up!

Read the energy charges for 2001+ BEFORE hitting that submit box.Their rep admitted they could do nothing because I already signed a contract, but passed the blame to the PUC and powertochoose.org, and everyone else, but it's very obvious that Gexa wants to be deceptive in their pricing structure by directing our attention to the chart. So I'm angry, and now what? $150 termination fee if I want out. Which would be worth it with $400 electric bills! I've never had this much trouble before when changing companies. They are getting sneakier. I want to take this to the PUC, but I doubt it will do any good. We just got screwed!

Leaving me with literally $20 to my name until a refund can post supposedly 5-7 working days later (I'm poor, don't judge me). I called customer service again and they told me the manual payments confused the auto pay and did I want to leave $185 as a credit or did I want a refund -__- ...refund..NOW!! >:O ... The auto pay hadn't worked for FOUUUUUUR billing cycles and you're telling me the one time it did auto draft me was AFTER i had already paid and for the ENTIRE amount again.

Gexa rep lied to me when I renewed my contract last fall. The guy said he was saving me so much money and my average $$ per Kwh would be .06 cents. (I made notes during the call and glad I did) This month (one of the lowest usage months of the year) we used 2100 Kwh and my bill was $270. That's over .12 cents a Kwh. I called in and the CS rep said they calculated my average usage from 10/15 - 05/16 and it was 1800 Kwh, so they put me in the best plan for my usage during these months. I said DUH, those are the fall and winter months when I'm using gas and not that much electricity. Did it ever occur to you that you are leaving out the SUMMER months!?!? How stupid is that??? He had no response, offered no solution just kept trying to justify why they put me in that plan. The plan is great if you use less than 2000 Kwh but my home is 3700 sqft. Solution: I went to www.energyogre.com and according to their savings calculator they will save me over $2000 a year!! I'm not surprised since Gexa put me in a plan where my bill would absolutely go through the roof in June, July, August and September. This also includes the $150 early term fee from Gexa.

I went on the Power to Choose website back in May and Gexa had Average Price per kWh that sounded too good to be true. I should have known better. I do not know how they can present the averages they did, because that is nowhere near the average I pay on my monthly bill. I have never been more disgusted with a company. To the point I am about to PAY to cancel my account with them after only 5 months. How can they legally present this to customers. Their presentation is VERY misleading. I will never be a customer with them again and I will go on every review website I can find and recommend people NOT ever go with the company.

Gexa Energy have a practice of moving the due date for my bill. I have a busy schedule and keep track of my bills with my Outlook calendar. I place a monthly recurring reminder for all of my bills. Gexa Energy change my bill date by as much as 7 days. They also make it impossible to schedule a payment in advance the way that all my other vendors do. This has the effect of generating late payment fees, very lucrative for Gexa I am sure. My contract is due for renewal in January. I will not be renewing after 15 years.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!! Worst customer service I have EVER had the displeasure of dealing with. I have been trying for MONTHS to pay my final electric bill and I cant seem to find a single representative that is willing to assist me with this. You would think that they would want me to give them money, but it seems like they are more interested in ruining my credit. First of all, they shut down my online account so that I can no longer view any bills or make any payments online, and they chose to do this BEFORE sending me an email that my final bill was due. When I got this message, I tried to log in to view the amount due and make a payment, but my account was no longer active. So at this point, they have told me I owe money, but there was no mention of how much and they wouldnt let me pay online. I then tried to send an email through the website and received a message saying that the email was unable to be used at this time. I tried using the email 2-3 times per week over the first 2 months and kept getting the same message. I also tried contacting them via telephone using the number provided on the website. I have left countless voicemails with no response, and the ONE time I got someone on the phone, they transferred me to an automated message where I was supposed to be able to make a payment, but after entering my credit card information, the message said that my payment was unable to be processed at this time and it hung up on me. So now, after MONTHS of trying to resolve this issue, I received a voicemail that my balance was being sent to a collections agency. Of course when I called back to the number that left the voicemail, there was no answer and nobody ever responded to my voicemail that I left in response. For the amount of time that I have invested in this debacle, I feel that Gexa should be paying ME for wasting such an ungodly amount of my time. I am completely fed up and getting to a point where I am almost ready to just let my credit score tank before I give this company another dime of my hard earned money.

I called to renew with Gexa, whose month-to-month was 3x higher than the deal I had been on in a contract. When I asked for a better rate, all they could offer me were a variety of single rate contracts applicable only if I kept my electricity within a parameter of 500kw, 1000kw, or 2000kw. Outside of any of those usages there is an automatic $9 charge and the overage or underusage rate was twice or three times as high. I don't use the same electricity year round, having both a gas and electric home. That won't work for me (and I wonder how many others like me). I think what pushed me over the edge was their use of the words, "we CATER to people who keep their electricity within certain kilowatts". Cater? Like they were valet in a high rise penthouse and I was a resident. It's 3rd party electric service. What a spin! In truth, if your usage doesn't fit what they set up for their monetary benefit, obviously, then you're gonna get gouged. Gexa rates are both too high for my budget and higher than many other service companies. They are unwilling to offer workable rates. I refuse to "cater" to companies willing to change the facts and meanings to part me with my money. I have been with Gexa before and found this to be true even then. Don't allow them to head fake you with qualifiers for a service you can get from any number of companies. Shop around before you buy the marketing tactics and spend more than you need to.

I had never been able to choose an electricity provider before, so I was a little uncertain how it would work out when I first chose Gexa in October 2015 when we moved to the area. I was paying 15.0/6.9/8.4 with a $40 bill credit for >999 or <2001 kwh. We are coming up on the end of our 1 year contract, and I received an email from Gexa to review plans. I opened it and then also opened the comparison website that shows all other companies. Not only did the renewal rates beat what Gexa was offering on the comparison website, it far and away beat all the other companies at 12.8/5.7/8.2 with a $60 credit for any month between 1001-2000kwh (which is where we stay).We have had zero issues with billing or service - and customer service has always responded to my messages promptly and courteously. Can't ask for more than that!

Gexa is the best energy company we have used. We use less than 1000 kwh per month (500 on average) and they give us a credit of $25 each month for that. Sometimes our bill is even negative and is subtracted from the next month's bill. I thought for sure it was just a ploy to get new customers and it wouldn't be renewable, but I just renewed our plan, and our net charge for using about 500 kwh is now around 3 cents!! We are paying about 8 cents minus a $40 credit! In the past our electricity bills have been around $100 in the summer, but now in the summer (in Texas - it's 90 - 110 degrees Fahrenheit every day) it's usually around $40 or $50 :) Also, they are always so nice on the phone and I have never had to wait on hold. Keep it up, Gexa.

Definitely listen to the other reviews here in regards to Gexa Energy being scammy. They charged me a $299 fee in April that I had no idea about. I had to call in and deal with customer support trying to identify what this charge was. Turns out it was a mistake withdrawal from their end which was noted as a "deposit fee". They said they would process a refund check for me. It's been 2 weeks. I called back in today and they said the check is now being processed and will be complete soon. Once the check processes, they will mail it to me.So they can mistakenly charge me $299 instantly but it takes more than a month to refund that back to me? Yikes. As an apology for the inconvenience, their rep told me he can get me a lower rate... if I signed a contract extension with them hahahaha. That's their apology... what?Never had this issue with any other electricity provider. Back to the drawing board on powertochoose.org

I've been with Gexa for 3 years and I have to say, I feel like a fool for staying that long. Once I compared with other companies and I read the reviews for Gexa, I realized that I threw out hundreds and hundreds of my hard earned dollars. As a single mom living in Houston, Texas, I can't afford to be with them any longer (especially with summer on the way). I read about Beyond Power and saw they had hardly any complaints in the past 10 MONTHS! As for Gexa, it seemed to have nothing but unhappy customers. My highest bill in 2016 so far was $162.59 in March. Beyond Energy would've saved me 30.59% and my bill would've been $49.67 cheaper! Gexa Energy's customer service on the other hand.... Not so great. Finding your company is already a confusing process, paying for your bill should be plain and simple. When I want to talk to a person, I get a computer.

At the time my contract was up, the bill was lower. The bill remained lower for months and then I received BACK BILLING for hundreds of dollars billed at a rate almost TWICE the ESTABLISHED RATE. When I contacted customer service, the lady stated she couldnt do anything but would have another representative call me. I waited for days to receive a cryptic email (not the promised call) which did not address the billing errors and the overcharges.I called the number and through two days of both email attempts and phone calls, I was never allowed to talk to a supervisor and only told that a supervisor had been emailed. The exact words of the only representative I was allowed to speak to were that he was only the messenger. I was offered a courtesy credit of less than half of the overcharges and a contract renewal. Obviously, all of my accounts are now established elsewhere. The unethical practices demonstrated throughout the process included: CONSISTENT BILLING ERRORS over the period of four months. The company correcting the billing errors at a rate almost TWICE the ESTABLISHED RATE. NEVER PROVIDED THE NAME AND CONTACT INFORMATION of the OBSCURE SUPERVISOR who was the only one who could make decisions. Brief emails were the norm for attempting to make the situation go away rather than a discussion of the companys errors and an ethical means for correcting those errors. A representative who was only the messenger by his own words, who felt the need to go on a rant about how he was not required to provide me information of what he discussed with his supervisor. I was offered a SMALL DISCOUNT AS A COURTESY WITHOUT ANY STATEMENT OF THE TRUE INHERENT ERRORS COMPLETED OVER A PERIOD OF 4 MONTHS AND WAS TOLD TO PAY THE FULL BILL ANYWAY because that would take weeks.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND AVOIDING THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS. I used them for years without a problem; however WHEN THERE IS A PROBLEM, EVEN IF IT IS THEIR FAULT, IT IS UNLIKELY THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SPEAK WITH ANYONE WHO HAS THE CAPACITY TO MAKE A DECISION.

We were with Gexa four years and repeatedly had problems with budget/leveling billing. They consistently under billed for months and then would raise the monthly rate to an average which was way above what it should have been. I paid Gexa $899.00 for the final bill after switching to Energy Ogre. I filed a complaint with the Texas utility commission about Gexa's practices and I feel that they intentionally let your cumulative bill get high towards the end of your contract in hopes that you will not be able to pay an inflated amount and just stay with them. The end result is an unacceptable practice no matter what one believes was their reasoning.

I signed up with Gexa last year. It was easy and the plan looked good, but I missed the monthly minimum. My fault, not theirs. My complaint is how they use billing cycle placement to get extra monthly fees. So I signed-up in September, and should have easily covered the minimum, but they set my billing cycle such that I was a few days away from the minimum usage. No place was it indicated what my billing cycle date would be, so I had no idea my usage would be below the minimum. It was a hbigh usage month! I called, and Gexa said, they would refund the fee if it was less than 15 days of billing...yeah right. Well planned Gexa. Then on the final, I got billed the monthly fee again for being 1 day over the billing cycle date. Called again, but sorry customer, Gexa couldn't care less - no refund.

It might have saved us some hard-earned money and undue frustrations! We have been with Gexa for 3-4 years and haven't had too much trouble with them until recently, but honestly, we're pretty lazy about using our "power to choose" and tend to find a good rate with a decent company and just keep renewing the contract if there hasn't been any issues. Admittedly, we probably could have found a better deal and switched awhile ago, but out of convenience have continued to shovel money into Gexa's accounts. For years we have paid *ridiculous* amounts of money for a 1-bedroom apartment, but continued to pay, on time at that, without fail. This year, we moved from having an address in Houston to one in Pasadena and this is when all the troubles started! First, our bill is on a "fixed-rate" plan, but has been fluctuating by HUNDREDS of dollars each month. When we try to contact Customer Service it just frustrates us all the more! They are totally incompetent and extremely rude when trying to get them to explain WHY our bill went from the 120 range to 234 in one month when our plan is supposed to stay the same. Their explanation, which would make sense if it were true, is that the actual KWh usage fluctuates and will show different charges each month. That's perfectly understandable and legitimate, except they were claiming over 2000KWh was used, again, in a 1-BEDROOM APARTMENT! In what world did we use over 2000 KWh in a month! I would have had to have my A/C running at 60F, shining every light with a bulb, cooking with every single apparatus I own and open all the door and windows to cool the neighborhood off. I mean seriously, there's just no way. Not when our previous bill's usages averaged around 1400KWh. THEN - we received a "surprise" bill in June saying we had an IMMEDIATE balance of $365.64 due or they would shut the power off. We were completely confused because we had never missed a payment with them before and called crappy 'ol customer service again. The bill, they claimed, was one they supposedly forgot to bill us for from our last apartment, which we hadn't lived there for 10 months! We tried to get a further explanation, but the rude person on the phone kept making accusatory comments (i.e. "Well, it looks like you didn't pay your bill.." or " If the bill was paid you wouldn't be getting a notice...") and she wouldn't give us an exact date for when these charges incurred. The story kept changing and she couldn't even keep the month straight - one time it was an old bill for Sept. and the next statement she was talking about a bill in Oct. She couldn't (or wouldn't) tell us if it was one month's charge or two, only that it was for an apartment we hadn't lived in for almost a year. So in one month we paid them almost $600, but I feel that we are going to take the "oversight charge" to the PUC and dispute it. Our contract is up with them this month and we will DEFINITELY be changing providers this time. Now I'm concerned about the backlash from them for switching! They seem good, but I would not recommend. Anybody concerned about finances should probably look elsewhere...and read reviews before signing. I wish I would have.

Don't know what is going on with the billing procedures for this company, but I have been a customer for seven months and have had to call Customer Service (and ask for Supervisor Intervention) on four occasions. For some unknown reason, the Auto Payment system is totally FUBAR (look it up.) I've had active working credit cards on file and have even changed preference from Discover to Visa to no avail. Getting a disconnect notice AFTER having successfully paid you bill is somewhat stressful.

Really bad experience, I would tell people to leave now, and if you paid a deposit, make sure you deduct it from your final bill because chances are they will take their time refunding your deposit. I was told by one representative to deduct the $175.00 that is there policy for starting service from the final bill. I followed his instructions and received letters from the billing department stating that I had a past due amount of $175.00. how is that possible? They will try and squeeze more money from you, and it seems that no one knows what he or she is talking about. Billing does one thing, and customer service tells you another I suppose. I have received several threatening letters stating that I owe money and I do not. I have always paid my bill in full for the 10 months that I was with this company. I noticed they kept changing rates and would not stand for it any longer so I switched to a different company , and already have saved about $150.00. I would not recommend to a stranger, let alone a friend. They are criminal in my opinion, and should be investigated for harassing customers, and overcharging.

I signed up for Gexa energy using one of their extremely low introductory rates off of powertochoose.org. I never received any paper correspondence at all. Never got a bill or even a welcome packet. I went online and signed up for the online account and I did get an email welcoming me to the online account. I was never notified of a bill being ready or due. I had to go online and pay the bill when I thought it was getting close. I checked this month and my rate had tripled. My normally ~$200 bill was closer to $500.I called in to see what the deal was, and was told that they have been sending my bill to the house and I should have checked the bill for the contract expiration date. When I told them I have not received anything from them in the mail at all, the customer service rep told me (without any investigation) that I need to talk to the post office because he was certain they sent them. I guess the post office was selectively removing only the gexa energy correspondence since I get all of my other bills.When I asked to renew and if the rate can be back dated, the rate they gave me was several cents higher than regular rates of most of the other companies. So don't be persuaded by the lower introductory rates, they will silently let your contract expire with no communication what so ever. Their normal rates are considerably higher than most companies which I assume is how they can afford to offer the lowest intro rates. It is also their policy not to back date the renewal. So they lure you in with low rates only to take advantage of you later.My Advice: DO NOT USE GEXA. They do not take care of their existing customers in fact it's my opinion that they are actively trying to take advantage of their customers.

Service was okay while with them on a month to month no contract. When we tried to renew in a plan, wouldn't give us a good rate. They care more about getting new customers with a great rate than keeping existing customers. We went with another company. Now they are trying to bill us an amount equal to 2 x our normal bill.Guess this is how they get their revenge. BEWARE, make sure you are not on a month to month and balanced billing because they LIE about what you owe when you cancel but WILL NOT give you a good rate even when you are an excellent pay before the due date customer EVERY MONTH.

I don't typically write these things, but since I feel more people will take the time to slam a company online, I thought I would give a thumbs up. When shopping for power in Houston, I always use powertochoose,org and for the second time in the past 5 years or so, Gexa came up as the most competitive supplier. The sign up process was flawless, and when I had a question about my first bill, customer service was there to answer my question and clear the confusion. Read the Facts Label and you will find their fees to be very competitive.

I signed up with Gexa due to a low introductory rate of 5.9 cents per kwh. After three months of service I was automatically switched to a month-to-month plan that shot my rate up to 13.5 cents per kwh! As a result my bill went from $110 to $230! I was never notified that the rate would jump this much from one month to another. I called customer service to see if they could adjust my bill and they refused to do anything. I disconnected my service and switched to another provider immediately. I have also filed a complaint with BBB and will never use this company as long as I live.

Every company will have complaints. Some customers don't read the fine print of contracts, so they get caught unaware when something unexpected comes along. The key to a good customer experience is to be your own best advocate and read everything. Sometimes terms are only mentioned once. If you don't understand something, ask the company and ask someone you trust who knows what's what.

We use balance billing. That means we pay the same each month. I have had decreases. I have had increases. But at least I have a set amount to fit into my budget. I know what to expect. That comes from a good relationship with the company...meaning I pay my bills on time (about a week prior to the due date). If you do the same, you will reap the benefit.

For full disclosure, all the promo codes you see on these review sites are ones provided specifically for each customer after they have signed up. It is a referral code. It helps me, the customer. It helps you, the future customer. I hope you will accept my honesty about it and use it.

They give you a great introduction rate and when the term is over they want to double the rate. When I called they said there was nothing that they could do that it was the going renewal rate. Then I got a long speech on how their co. is one of the top fortune 500 co. and that they give a lot of better service than the other electric co. out there. All the while the guy wouldn't shut up long enough for me to even say anything. BEWARE! In three months, I had to set up automatic payments twice and it still didn't work, but going online I could pay the bill with the that card and it was in their system. Each time that you visit their web site I had to refresh several times. They don't have good customer service, they have aggravating service.

First let me say, it took almost 1 hr. to get in touch with someone at the Custormer Services number listed. Signed on with Gexa inorder to save money. Although, I adjusted my start date for the 1st of the Month, so that bills were due by the 15th, they said it didn't matter. Was charged have a months bill on my first invoice due to AEP's billing cycle. Bill was then due by the 5th of each month. Customer service would not change the due date or cancel the contract so that I could find another provider. The only offer Rose at customer service offered was to input a cancellation date that would leave me without electrical service and would still charge me a cancellation fee.

Rates are not competitive in the current market but I've been with Gexa for over 3 years and didn't want to hassle with a change. Called Customer Service to find out if there were any better rate options than were shown online. Rep seemed clueless and couldn't answer basic questions. I asked about the tiered pricing and minimum usage charge since my usage is frequently under 1000kWh and it seemed to confuse her more. She said all rates are based on minimum usage of 2000 kWh per month. Hoping to find someone who could answer questions on pricing, I called back a second time and spoke to a different Rep. She again said rates require minimum 2000kWh. Either their customer service reps have no understanding of the services and pricing or Gexa is focusing on commercial accounts and letting residential move on to another provider. I made the change to a provider whose reps could answer my basic questions about rates.

Gexa Energy began sending emails to renew my electric service 3 months before it expired. When I inquired about new rates, the new rate was signficantly higher. It seemed they no longer wanted my bussiness.I made the mistake of finding a new provider a few weeks before my contract had expired and had to pay a penality. I then recieved a number of final bills in rapid session that had over-laping charges that I attempted to adjust. When all was said and done, I still owed $ 61 and was referred to a collection agency instead of receiving a final bill. So much for customer loyality and paying my bills on time.Their new bussiness model seems to be overcharging old customers and hoping they can charge fees.Watch out for these guys.

When gexa and I first met, everything was magical... Low rates, great service, efficient web tools... When it came time to move, at the end of our full year service plan, we planned to bring gexa with us, but wanted gexa to match other low service rates in our area. Gexa could not compete. After we decided to terminate service with gexa, they jacked up our last bill (charging us the same amount as a full month for just 10 days of service,) cut us off from online service, charged us late fees during the time that they instructed us to wait for our final bill and further, refused to reread the kWh usage of the 10 days and then explained that payment extensions are only provided to current customers. It was obvious that gexa was a little bitter! Stay away from this service if you ever plan on moving! Now, time to figure out how to come up with $222 before gexa sends me to collections

I have been with Gexa for the past year and have no complaints, until it came time to renew my rate plan. I currently pay 7.8 cents per kWh, when I went to check the "great renewal rates" they are quoting me 10.4 cents per kWh! However, go to powertochoose.org and they are offering 8.2 cents per kWh for12 months! So I called up Gexa to see what the deal was and they tell me that rate was only for new customers, the best rate they could offer me (a good existing customer) was 9.9 cents per kWh! Oh and did I want to accept that rate and sign up for 12 months now? I litterally laughed at that. This is not new, and not just GEXA, in fact I end up switching electric companies every year just to get a decent rate. Personally I have been switching back and forth each year between GEXA and AMIGO for this very reason. When switching electric companies is one of the easiest things you can do, I just think it is ridiculous that these companies try to blatently screw their existing good customers. I suppose there is a percentage of customers who will not shop around but really? So as a good reliable customer we are going to reward you by increasing your rate by over 20%, but some clown we don't even know will get the substantially lower rate. Get with it guys if anything, proven loyal customers should get even better rates. So until they figure this out, customers are going to be easy come, easy go.

I joined Gexa last year around this time for their new customer promo of 9.1 cents inclusive of TDU and $4.95 base charge. I loved Gexa. Not a single problem with billing or bill paying. I pay online via Discover card. The only problem I have had was that I had to switch after the promo 12 month contract was over. Their rates jumped .02 and I was getting better promo offers from other companies. After I switched, Gexa cut off my ability to pay my last bill online so I had to mail a check. I was worried about this but after 7 business days, I saw the payment credited since they still allowed me to view my bill online. Customer service is polite and up front about everything. No silly cash back gimmicks, just a low rate. I wish so much that I could have stayed with Gexa since it is so well run but their renewal plans were all too high. I went with Cirro this time for 12 month 9.6 rate. Not as good as I had with Gexa but the best my research could find.

After looking into other companies online, I found that Gexa rates were more than most and most of the advertising was for new users only. I spent weeks trying to get in touch with customer service.

And this one is changing. I think I've been with Gexa for about 18 months. Originally signed up on a good promotional plan and then renewed at rates similar to that plan. Have been getting emails urging me to "buy now" even though my term wasn't up for 3 or 4 months before I started getting the renewal email blasts. Their rate increase was about 23%. Moving to another provider, my rate will increase -- but only about 5%. I'm not sure but I think we have the Texas legislators to thank for the Power to Choose and an easy to use website to compare rates. I have overpaid my electric bill by hundreds of dollars. I'll be back on here if I don't get a prompt refund of that overpayment. As far as service, it's been flawless (except for Oncor's outages every now and then). Haven't had to deal with customer service. Soooo -- if you can get a good rate from Gexa, I would go for it. I can't so I'm switchin' (but it won't be to TXU who shafted us all on rates for years).

I also appreciated that they reminded me of when my contract was going to expire, so I wasn't surprised when the rates went up.

I signed on with Gexa in 2005 at a flat 10 cent rate for my 2nd home in Texas. I made this my permanent home in 2007. I am completely at fault for being lazy and not reading emails so I can't blame them for adding minimum monthly fees and raising the rate through the roof. I can blame them for not calling me or notifying me when a payment was not received. I'm not talking 30 days late - I'm talking 7 days late. They turned me off. No courtesy notification whatsoever.

I was actually home at the time, heard a "CLUNK" and went downstairs (I'm in a condo). The guy from the electric company was still here! I asked what was going on, he said he had a turn off notice. I asked if I can pay him but NOPER, Gexa was the customer, resale, all that. $100 bucks and 4 hours later, the same guy was back to turn it on.

Again, I was "at fault" - but I honestly never had anyone ever turn me off for 7 days before. Dropped Gexa like a hot potato. Rotten, nasty customer service to boot.

Horrible. Worst customer service ever. Do not sign up with those characters. I moved to Houston and tried to sing up with them. I submitted my 299$ deposit because they told me that in that case they could start the service right away (I was moving into the new apartment 2 days later). After submitting my payment they told me "Oh it will be 2-3 business days until the credit deaprtment checked the applicaiton and they will get back to you if they need additional documentation". I cancelled the application on the spot and was assured that the deposit would not be charged to my credit card. 24 hrs later they had it charged to the credit card and when I called them to clarify they could not find the transaction and asked me to provide proof of payment. So i did that and they prmised to rexolve the issue within 24-48 hours. Here we are 7 days and numerous phone call later. I still have the 299$ sitting in my credit card and a vague promise that Marissa will call me back.

I have used six different power providers. Gexa is the only one that misled me regarding pricing. I thought I was getting a great deal, but it turned out to be just OK. Regardless, I am switching as soon as my contract expires.

Billing Dept is a nightmare

My company had several accounts with Gexa for several years and I paid via online banking during the entire time. Beginning last April their accounting dept became a nightmare. Every month I had to make a phone call as I would get disconnect notices to only find out the monies had all been applied to 1 account with a large credit while the others showed delinquent with late fees. The last straw was when they turned off our electricity to 7 of our accounts (when bill had been paid and I had been previously assured the credit from the other accounts would be allocated correctly). Then charged a disconnect &amp; reconnect fee for the accounts when it was their processing error. I have since changed carriers.

Great prices, but when they make a mistake by taking 3x the amount of your bill while you're trying to pay online instead of once....customer service has you call back several times only to tell you that they know it's their fault, but they can't refund charges. So; if you need $ in your account, call to make your paymeny; SCREW their online malfunctions!

These guys are sharks... They made an accounting error on my favor in the amount of $200.00. 3 months later they discover the error. Their method of communicating with me was a disconnection notice and a demand for $200.00. This was in violation of PUC rules. I wrote the PUC and of course they investigated 2 months after the fact. The PUC is in the pocket of the companies and is pretty useless. Gexa has horrible customer service, their business practices are suspect and their billings are impossible to figure out. Sharks...stay away... Deregulation in Texas has been a train wreck!

I've been with Gexa for two years with no problems. At renewal I shopped rates and found lower rates. I read the reviews on providers offering lower rates and saw lots of dissatisfied customers and problems with billings, etc. I spoke to a Gexa rep and explained that I would like to stay but would like to see better rate. I was offered a discounted loyal customer rate which brought them close to the competitive lower rates. When I compared annual costs between Gexa and the lower rate offers, I would end up paying $65 more annually to stay with Gexa. Because their service has been satisfactory and reliable, I decided that was worth paying a bit more.

They offer competitive rates and provide airline miles. Only reason I am considering switching is due to the rate increase.

This company has the worst customer service I have ever dealt with. They continually charged me late fees that were not due and I would have to call several times in each instance before they would actually remove the fees. Customer service acted clueless and could not do anything helpful. Be prepared for Gexa to sneak in extra $1 - $4 charges every bill cycle thinking you will not notice. Nothing this company does is on the level and people should do whatever it takes to avoid using them as an electricity provider.

Even though Gexa has very low rates I would never again choose them for service! They have been very rude to me every time I call them and they send out threatening cancelation notices EVERY month even though we pay our bills on time. For example, this month the company records indicate that my account was credited for payment on August 29th, yet still I was sent a cancelation notice dated August 30th (recieved in mail September 6th). Again, this is just one example, it happens EVERY MONTH!! If I was not under contract with them I would leave. It is my advice to any wise Texan to choose someone else!

I've been a Gexa customer for 5 years. There were instances where their
charges or perhaps reading were wrong but I've been patient. Calling and
correcting the billing was just a painful experience. Customer service is
amazingly ridiculous. The company don't care whether you're a loyal
customer or new. I requested for an additional service and was given a
commitment to have my service activated on certain date. When I call
again to confirm, I was shocked when i found out that the order was on
hold and still have to be processed. Now I don't have electricity and I have
10 months old baby.
PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM GEXA!

I like how they will not take responsibility for their own errors. This is twice now that I have been told I did things incorrectly. Its funny how I do not work for them, but somehow I am able to apply my payment to the wrong account! (I only have 1 account with them). Step up and accept responsibility. I will not renew my contract with this company I have been with for 7yrs!

I found gexa after another 'no name' supplier went bust. They've been okay for the most part, I get air miles by paying with credit card and Gexa also give me airmiles. I can pay online and their website now has a better way to download the bill as a PDF.

My main problem was I autopay with credit card each month. Normally it is no problem., just go to a web site and update the info. Gexa want you to call them and try getting somebody to answer in under 10 minutes. Sure they have a call back system. However, it came time to update the expiry date for my new card, no new number just the expiry date. Gexa charged my card and it was declined. After always paying on time since I moved to Texas 12 years ago I appear to be on their 'loser' list as my renewal notice has left me feeling they no longer want my business. So it took me a call or 2 to have the late charge reversed, but it looks like I'll be leaving gexa soon.

I just called to ask questions prior to choosing a new elec. provider. I asked why, if there is no monthly fee for less usage, it cost an avg. of 9.6 per kwh of you used only 500, but 8.0 if you used 2000. They claim there are no fees for using less, yet they can't explain why it costs more when you use less. The rep just kept reading the fact sheet to me verbatum, even after she realized I had it in front of me. She didn't understand my question, said it was "just an average," put me on hold, still couldn't give an explanation, then started being condescending like it was I who was an idiot and asked to put me on hold AGAIN to see if she could find a way to "break it down for you so you'll understand." If this is how well the sales people are trained, I can only imagine what customer service is like after you've already signed on. Needless to say, I'm going with the other guys. What a waste of time.

Gexa Energy allowed me to set up auto bill pay. One month I had gotten a new credit card as my address had changed. The company had an auto message call me that sounded like a scam, not Gexa so I ignored it, the second automated message I got just said we are turning off your electricity, call this #. 40 minutes later I got to a human who could take my new card, take the payment + late fee and re-instate auto pay. From there it was all down hill - they set up auto pay to pay 2 weeks after my bill was due. I got 5 more cryptic automated messaged in the next months. I spent countless hours on the phone getting inappropriate late charges. Now 2 months after I canceled the service, which was 4 months after anyone lived in the residence I am still getting larger than normal bills.

Ive had gexa for a few years now. I was looking into switching to a lower cost provider but after reading horror reviews I think ill stay with the slightly higher rates. When I contact customer service Im able to talk to a person (although they may not always be upbeat) they take care of the issue quickly. I've never been billed multiple times per month or asked for any crazy deposits or random cancellations. I would recommend them to my friends and family.

The only good thing I can say about this company is that we receive AA miles each month for the amount of our bill - HOWEVER that is not enough to make me stay with them. Their customer service is horrible. They accidentally cut off the electricity at our new house and left it on at the old, so our pool pump did not run and the cold cracked it and we had to replace it - BOO GEXA

The reviews on this site don't give them any justice. I used Gexa Energy when I first moved to Houston in 2005. Then in 2007, I switched to Sparks energy because they had cheaper rates. and Then I moved back to Gexa energy in 2009. I have always had a pleasant expereinece with them. The second go around, I asked if I can get service without having to provide my SSN, they said, just give us a letter of credit from your current provider that you have never been late and you are in good standing with them. As soon as I did, they switch process was a breeze, didn't even feel it! Most of the people who left negative reviews, have been charged with late payment fees and ofcourse they are bitter about it!
