I've been a fan of Direct Energy for years. The price, while not the best, is reasonable. And their customer service is top notch.

Let me give you an idea. About 4-5 years ago I moved into a new apartment. The meter was bad and my bill was WAAAAY off. As in I had a $15 electricity bill on an 800 square foot apartment, with tons of electronics running 24/7, in the middle of summer. I called them about it a couple of times to tell them about it, but nothing ever came from it.

After about a year they went back and retroactively billed me for the correct amount. It took 1 call to customer service, 15 minutes in total where I spoke to two people, and they wiped the bill.

Thanks for all the advice, my wallet greatly appreciates it!

Have any of you changed and if so, who do you recommend.
I currently have TXU and was "shocked" by my most recent bill.

Thanks.

I know. When I called to pay my bill, I asked them if they were going to buy me dinner or jewelry first.
