Dropped my bill from over $400 to less than $200 during the 2 months that were the highest in usage. This month was less than $100. We have not had electric bills this low in 35 years. Only regret is that we didn't change a long time ago !

Chariot Energy has some of the most proactive communications I have ever had with an electric company. I got an email before the Feb 21 snow storm saying you might have a higher bill because of the weather. It included recommendations for lowering it. Then during the cold spell I received my normal weekly usage report email.


Now after, they sent an email apologizing for any delay in contacting their customers because even their customer services were without power. Then they confirmed that I was on a fixed rate plan and I did not have to worry about a high bill.
Very proactive and it is appreciated.
BTW-I locked in for a 3yr fixed wind energy rate of avg 8.9 cents/kWh so great rates too.

Bill G from Rowlett, TX on February 25th, 2021
Thank you for your feedback, Bill. We hope you have recovered from the storm and thank you for being a local Chariot Energy customer.

I was so desperate to get a locked rate that I signed on for a pretty high rate but Chariot had better overall ratings than some of the lower priced plans. The one thing that disappointed me was they forced me to make a deposit of 175 when I have never been late on a bill since I moved in my house in 1997. And my credit rating is EXCELLENT. Irritating. I will probably look for another plan in a year for no other reason than the demand for a deposit.

Chariot is a fantastic company. I love having affordable renewable energy powering everything in my house. Plus. it's really great getting an email detailing how my weekly and monthly electricity usage fluctuates--it really shows the impact that conservation efforts have.


The only complaint I've ever had was in regards to AutoPay: when I first set it up it doesn't tell you it has to be a certain number of days before the bill is due for it take effect. I ended up getting a late payment email, and when I called to clarify the customer service rep was very helpful. They took my payment right there and reduced the late fee I owed. I will be sticking with Chariot for as long as I am in Texas!

Jacob from Fort Worth, TX on June 27th, 2020
Jacob - Thank you for the kind words! We appreciate your patience with the auto-pay hiccup. Our customers are our most valuable form of feedback and we wouldn't be able to provide our customers with the best possible service, without feedback from folks like you. We're glad you've committed to us for the long haul.

Average billing is anything but

I have no issues with Chariot's rates or service. Their so-called "Budget Billing", however, is a crock. If you're expecting it to act like average billing from any other provider, think again. They actually reconcile the plan every six months, which means that a couple of months after the hot summer I received a bill for more than double the normal averaged bill. So instead of average billing all they're doing is kicking the can down the road for a few months. It would have been better to have paid the extra over the summer months. As my dear departed mother would have said, "Whoever came up with this doesn't have the sense God gave a billy goat." Rest assured that when my contract ends I'll be looking for a provider that understands the purpose of average billing.

I get paid once a month and asked to have my due date moved forward by a FEW DAYS (like 3-5 days). They wouldn't change my due date because I wasn't drawing social security. We're in the middle of a pandemic, and this is how they treat their customers.

I have been disconnected without any notice and with my bill saying something different. Ask to pay bill by 23rd cut off electric on 21st. 90 degree weather then told me I had to pay bill to get power back on. Way better and cheaper companies out there!!!

Being with chariot started out good. After the pandemic hit, it went down hill from there! How did a $100 a month bill for a 1 bedroom townhome go up to over $400 a month bill! Nothing in my home has changed! I don't have high tech electronics either. I'm gone during the day! I'm a independent contractor so my business was hit extremely hard! Having to create a deferred payment plan just to keep power. BIG MISTAKE! They don't care at all about you having a grandson with Nephritis Lupus. He takes 9 meds a day most needs to be kept refrigerated. He absolutely can not handle heat but they don't care because it's not them on the other side! I explained even offered to send email correspondence about trying to get help from Texas utilities with my bill but they STILL don't care! As soon as I pay them off I will NEVER do business with them again!

I was making my payments on time .


I had some sickness and medical expenses. Being on a fixed income , I requested some extension of days , til the end of the month to pay my bill . I was charged a late fee a DNP fee and my electricity was shut off , after they had received payment from Tomball Emergency Assistant ministry. It went into the wrong account . But I still had to pay all the fees , plus my electricity shut off while I was very sick . I am still being charged all the fees . Late fees for late fees ! No use to talk to a Supervisor . He only quoted the carry over bill . I did pay my regular bill each month . But can't get this resolved .

Should have option for -100 stars! Chariot has got to be the most incompetent, worst customer service experience I have EVER had in 52 years! I had been w/them for over a year, transferred service at which time I found out how truly inept they are-they set up a whole new acct #, transferred my deposit as a DEBIT not a credit-after spending weeks calling & going over this repeatedly, at which time they were supposed to fix everything & waive late fees that weren't late, I told them they were simply too inept, changing providers! Now today get a call that I owe them $200+ due to "service contract fee" and they didn't waive any of their mistakes...WORST customer service EVER, stay away! Choose any one else!

Please read this before you sign up with Chariot Energy! Each month, the due date changes...from the 6th then to the 5th the following month then to the 4th the following month, etc. Well, due to the due date changing each month, I was 1 Business Day Late & they charged me a disconnect fee of over $10 on an $80 Electric Bill. Yes, they put my account on Notice to be disconnected for being 1 business day late. Truly sad! I have never ever experienced being put on notice for disconnection for being late one business day with any other electricity company in my life.
