After being very concerned with a possible upcoming increase in my bill because of the snow event in Texas, I called Cirro and was told by the rep that, since we were on a contract with them, there would be no increase! She was fantastic at explaining how it works. I even signed a new contract and am very pleased with it! It's a great company!

This company offers me an amazing rate, I heard about the simply flat plan on the radio and was thinking, that sounds way too good to be true, the monthly rate must be ridiculous, right? WRONG... the rate was great! I went online just to see and signed up immediately, they only charged me $5 more than the base price (what my previous electric company charged before any usage) for my previous electric company! What?! Hopefully there won't be a dramatic price hike when it comes to renewal, but I have been thrilled with Cirro thus far.

I have had my Cirro Account for about 5 years now. After the first year they lowered by lock in (fixed rate) by quite a bit and I just renewed today at 8.4 Cents per KW. My mom has been with TXU for 20 years... they have never offered her a lower KW rate. I love Cirro and would never change companies. I read some of the comments regarding deferrals. I had a referral once and they explained that they would take that months bill and spread it out over 6 months. There were no surprizes. They did exactly that and what a lifesaver it was. I pay my bill online and I have never had a single problem with this company. They email me when it is time to renew and the website is very easy to navigate when deciding which plan I wish to choose. Hope this helps! PS I also love the fact that they offer a plan that is 100% renewable wind energy and it is very economical.

Got my bill and was really upset and then when I called customer service after hours I was even more upset thinking from the reviews they wouldn't be able to help. However that wasn't the case the young lady I spoke to wad realy sweet and very helpful. The reason I had called was to find out what the high TDU price was all about. The young lady explained to me that the TDU charge in included in the price per qwh but that the bill just breaks it down. She went through everything with me and told me where to find the TDU pass through price per qwh on my contract and the meter reading fee. So come to find out she was right they just break it down the TDU for Oncor or Delivery charge is the pass through price times the kilowatts used and the meter reading fee. She was so understand and very patiencent and a great help. :)

I switched from TXU because my rates were steadily increasing. I was on a variable rate plan that coincided with natural gas prices rising to 11.1 before I couldn't take it anymore. I switched 4 months ago and could not be happier! I have saved $80.00 a month so far. Customer service has treated me great so far and I plan to stay with Cirro as long as possible. I honestly do not know why there are numerous negative reviews. My experiences have been positive.

We have been with Cirro for over two years and have had no problems with them at all. I can review past years energy consumption online, which was helpful when we put in a new air conditioning unit and windows. We tracked the usage and were able to see the difference. Soon after we switched we had made a payment arrangement that was like a small amount of the bill and then they divide the remaining balance into future bills, very nice! But if you do get a shut off or delinquent notice they wouldn't work with you until you had 3 months without a notice. As I said, that was over two years ago and things may have changed but we couldn't ask for a better electric company. Easy pay options, friendly customer service. I think this is a good company to use as long as you don't have a problem paying your bills on time.

My account was with another company for 2 years - then Cirro as I understand it purchased all the accounts. The transition period was not so good...but they gave & I gave so we came to a good understanding. They keeped the rate I had with my old company as I checked mine was lower then theirs. So for the last three years I have asked for a better rate, standing on my own payment record, I pay what is due before the paper bill is sent out and I have never been late. Now coming up in late August-September my contract will come due again...I asked for a good rate again with longer terms and received a good rate again with them, as of this writing July 19, 2018 no one has the same rate. I asked on a rate based on 1500 kwh...some months we are over, some months we are lower so 1500 is a good to average on. As of this writing - I most likely will sign again with them. I read my bill on line by the 14th of every month and paid it rounding up to the next dollar. I have done this with what ever company for the last 40 years and I have a great track record. I pay by my bank. My bank sends them money - they do not draw it out from my account - no one does that at all. I not work the heacke at all.

I switched from Reliant, who I had been with for years, to Cirro Energy last year, at a 9.7 advertised rate. I saved over $1,100 in electric costs during 12 months over prior year's Reliant costs. Now it's time to renew and I'm researching, checking EFLs and company ratings. The current Cirro advertised rates (13.5, 11.1, and 10.6 respectively) appear to include a new "base" charge of $7.95 if your usage is less than 1000 kWh, which mine did for 7 of 12 months this past year. I'm not sure if that is calculated into the "between 500 and 1000" price or not, so I'm going to call them. Otherwise, I've been exceedingly happy with the cost and the service this past year. I'm in the CenterPoint Energy region, which, from what I understand, is the actual service provider (meter reading, troubleshooting, outtages, etc.) for ALL companies in that region regardless of who your energy provider is, so complaints in those categories are a moot point as far as I'm concerned....they're CenterPoint issues, not the energy providers.

I have been with them for 12 months and my contract will expire in a few days. I started shopping around because the rates with Cirro went up. I was paying 9.6 and now it went up to 11.0c. Looking at the reviews of other companies, I realized that paying the difference will be worth it. Other companies require you to use certain kw if not you get charged for it, others change the plan without letting you know even under a contract. I have never had to ask for an extension for paying my bill and I hope I will never have to, but Cirro doesn't charge you a late fee until 4 days after your bill is due, other companies will not give you even a day. I think after reading horrible stories I will stick with Cirro Energy.

We switched from TXU and we saved, the lowest bills ever received with TXU. I read all these reviews and it made me Leary of Cirro. Then I read a lot of the other companies and saw terrible reviews of them too, so I felt better. I gathered the competitors write the bad reports on each other. Genuine reports need to get to prospective buyers. I hope this is not true that they write on each other! But sure seems like a common thread of complaints. I do, however, believe Customer service is lacking and "I don 't care attitude"! Hopefully will change that.

If you pay your bills, aren't a deadbeat, and pay attention to the rules regarding renewal (which apply to all REPs) you shouldn't have any issues with Cirro. I've been a customer since January of 2010 at which time I switched from TXU and couldn't be happier. I've never had any billing issues and Cirro offers many payment options which I finally opted for the auto billing on my credit card. I've used the website numerous times without any issues and it is well orgranized and realiable. If you don't pay your bills in a timely manner there will be fees and penalties just like any other REP. For responsible customers I have no hesitation in recommending Cirro.

Customer service is the name of the game at this company. In an age where customers are sent from one automated recording to another it was very refreshing to speak to an actual person who cared about my business from the get-go. There are a few companies out there with a slightly better rate (not many)but I'll probably be sticking with Cirro because of the way they treat me-With respect. Thanks, Cirro Energy.

We have been with Cirro Energy for at least 2 yrs now and have never had a problem with billing. We had previously been with TXU and Reliant and when we switched our bills went down by almost 75%. We never have a bill that's $200 anymore. In the winter our bills are always less than $100. We have never had any trouble with customer service or billing. Every time our fixed rate plan is about to expire, we get something in the mail that gives us a lower rate per KWH to continue with them. The only thing I wish they did was offer bonuses for always paying on time and being a loyal customer. I think one time our bill was only $4 because we had always paid on time and been loyal but that was only one time. It may be that we renewed for only 6 months this last time. Would also like to see a bonus for referrals. I've recommended Cirro to a few of my friends and they are happy with their bills and service as well. Would also be

I have been with this company for several years and the only complaint is that it's getting very expensive, lately I've gotten onto a V.R.P. (variable rate plan) and it has gotten atrocious; 13.4 this month. I'm needing to sign-up to something else, due to this being month to month, since I haven't a contract. They do have fairly long plans, but like I said earlier, prices are going up. Overall, a very reliable company. Very easy to contact the company, and the few issues I had were not a problem to resolve. Thanks!

I am so happy I called Cirro. I was robbed by TXU for 6 years and was terrified when it was bill time. When my first year with Cirro was over I expected to have a higher rate, but to my surprise it was lower!! My rates with TXU were double compared to what I am paying now. It is so great not to be a nervous wreck around bill paying time.I will continue to spread the good word about Cirro.

Actually have been very pleased since switching to Cirro. I am one that does not pay close attention to renewal dates but they have always emailed us and sent a snailmail letter. When I neglected to renew they had a modest increase (.05/kwh), but did not gouge us like the horror stories i hear about T%U and Re@$*nt, the latter raised my brothers from .10 to .15/kwh when he neglected to renew. No shady dealings here, no tricks, just selling power. At least they have an after hours customer service line. Customer service is about as good as with most power companies. The important thing to me is that they are fair and they do not employ any underhanded tactics at all.

My experience with Cirro was that it had decent customer service and decent rates if you do not consider fees. It clearly price-gouges with a $10.95 meter reading fee. Electricity meters are read electronically, and we have had to pay extra for the smart meters. So there should be no fee whatsoever. However, a pass through charge is allowed but it is only $3 per month. Cirro charged $11 and lies and claims it is charged by everyone.It charges are high for a low usage customer, therefore, I rescinded my contract as allowed. May be more affordable for high-usage customers.

I have been with Cirro for years now. When I first begun with Cirro the order rep told me something untrue. Cirro went back through the recorded conversations and found that the rep had indeed said what I told them she said. They honored what I was told. This time when I call to renew the rates were substantially higher I was told that I could go on Cirro's website and if at anytime during the contract I found a lower rate I could call and get that rate. Today I found a lower rate. I called to sign up for the lower rate and was told it was for new customers only. I needed to sign in to my account to see if there was a rate I could change to. I told them that was not what I was told. I asked them to listen to the conversation as they had before. They refused. You have a 5 yr contract they said and I have other people I need to talk to. Apparently lying has become excepted business practice for Cirro. I would love to be rid of them

I have been with Cirro since they first opened, I think in 2001. I just renewed at 11.00 cents per kwh and have a confirmation number. They are charging 12.72 cents. After 3 phone calls and a run around I gave up. Who would chose to pay 12.72 for something they can get for 11.00? Who? I have probably paid Cirro $100,000 over the years, and was basically shown the door.

My account is on auto-pay and they debit my account. whenever they feel like it, but usually, at the end of the month. I recently had to change my bank card and when I go online to change the card info. it won't let me. I called several times and nobody ever picks up. I must be the only person in the world whose email starts with a number because it highlights my email and I can't get in. Cirro doesn't even have an app to download. How archaic is that? So, one of their geniuses emailed me 23 times on the 9th because apparently they want to debit my account on the 10th, and, of course, that didn't go through. Talk about being pissed off. I might just have to change providers bc of this. Too bad. SO SAD. UNBELIEVABLE!! What a nightmare.

Month after month Cirro Energy sends out late notices when in fact the payment are received several days before the due date. It appears they either don't log the payments when they are received, or they don't deposit the payment until after the due date in order to illegally charge late fees.

When I got my first bill with Cirro I couldn't believe they were charging me an electricity delivery charge that almost equaled my electricity charges. The next month it was the same and the month after that. I changed electric companies quick after that last bill. All the other companies I spoke with pass along some of the delivery charges but not almost doubling your bill.

Was switched to Cirro after they apparently took over Source Power. They never send me an actual bill just a notice they are going to disconnect if I don't pay. Web site is not very user friendly. I thought I was signed up for automatic payments but apparently there were several steps involved besides providing banking information. Last company provided weekly info about my usage and I never once had a billing problem with them. To bad I just renewed before Cirro took over. Guess I'm stuck with them for a year.

Cirro cut off our energy one Sunday when we were not at home. Bye to a refrigerator load of food. Put the balance on a credit card to reestalish service. Checked my records and we were not only current but overpaid by about $200. Two of our checks were cashed but not credited to our account. It took about a month after sending a picture of the fronts and backs of checks for them to be credited.To avoid a repeat, I put the account on autopay (bill to credit card). Today I received notice of an overdue bill (not billed to autopay). I emailed for an explanation. Received a request for more info and a non-existent email address to which to reply. Pnoed them and was told I had only today set up autopay (I logged in to make sure I had it with a correct credit card number.)My wife my well be right that we should switch to a provider with reasonable business practices. Cirro may have cheap rates but the savings is rapidly eaten up by refrigerators full of bad food.

Cirro has some very questionable practices when posting payments to customer accounts.We pay our bill through our bank and we schedule for it to be paid on the "pay by" date on the bill. Our bank shows our payment was delivered on time. Cirro attempted to charge a late fee because they didn't post the payment until three days later!! Their customer service folks at first refused to remove the $9.65 late fee. After further discussion they removed the late fee but admonished us to pay our bill earlier to avoid future late fees.. So, let's see if I have this right, If we pay our bill on the due date I'm late because Cirro can't post their accounts until three days later. So it's our problem they can't do their work in a timely manner. It's our problem they don't understand that they should post the account to the day funds are received not the day they get around to posting it.Terrible accoiunting practices and very poor customer service. Oh, and what's up with customer service folks speaking very poor English.

When Cirro was bought out by NRG, my nightmare began. Though the letter informing me of the buyout said I need "take no action," my account number was changed. My October payment made online disappeared. I, of course, have no check to prove payment. After talking to 7 different people in billing, they still are threatening to turn off my power again. It was already turned off in December. It is January 27, more than three months after the problem began. Today I spoke to a supervisor. We'll see if anything changes. I would not recommend Cirro to anyone.

All, my contract came up for renewal. I received a bill at the higher rate. I called and asked them for the new rate plan and they said to call back in a week since their system was down. They said my balance was $0 even though I had a bill from them in my hand for almost $300 (at the higher new rate, of course). I called back after 2 weeks and got the same answer: system down, call back in a week, they can't do anything for me. WTF! If you are an investor, recommend you dump their stock.

This company is the most unorganized company ever. They sent me a $760 refund check which they owed and then turned around and did not honor it. Since the check was issued through Chase which was my bank, the bank tried contacting them to resolve. Cirro did not contact the bank back and only called chase back 2 weeks later when I informed Cirro that I received late fees and return check fees from many of my creditors. It is 1 month since the check has been issued and I still have not received my $760.

After 2 years of paying your bills on time via automatic draft and send your last bill to a debt collector RGS before the due date has arrived and before they make the draft to your account.

I have multiple properties with Cirro, and have been with them for a number of years. One problem after another. I used to pay bills in advance, due to inconsistency with income, but they could not register the advance payments correctly. It took over a year of calling every month reminding them I paid in advance. Then I noticed payments were registering over a week after reciept. They told me repeatedly that it took them a few days to register my payments, once they received them. Now I am told that there are no extensions for late payments. (I ask for two days, since I was in the hospital and mailed check afterwards - to allow the check to get there). I ask three times for a supervisor, to be told supervisors were not available right now. After fourth request, another person on line, but while she claimed to be the supervisor, she did not come across as one and spoke in a mediocre manner to the situation. I ended up having to pay again, knowing it could cause a problem in over payment, once again. I am fed up with the indifference of their customer service and have practice patience for too long. The only time I get quality service is when it is time to renew my contract. I tolerated it during the growing pains of the company, but it is getting worse. I am now searching for a company who wants my business. Evidently Cirro is doing so well, they do not need my mine. .

I have renewed for the third time. I am very happy with the electric bills each month.
Had a billing problem last year and I will admit it was frustrating to deal with their call center
of people who appear to not talk to each other or document anything. Had to explain the situation every time I had to follow up on it. It took three weeks to prove to them that I had paid before the due date and they had cashed my check before the due date. My bank couldn't believe how stupid they were.
Since that horror show - no problems at all. I 'm keeping them for now.

They make a fortune while the people freeze or can't afford to turn on the air. Don't go with CIRRO, they are money hungry, JUST LIKE THE REST OF THE ELECTRIC COMPANIES. They're deliberately causing seniors to do without heat or air-conditioning by over pricing electricity.

The price rate is high and I found a plan significantly lower and decided to switch. Before switching I went on their website to see when my current contract would end and switched to a new company on the date the website provided me as my contract end date. I then received a $200 cancelation charge. I contacted them to explain that I checked my account on their website to ensure I did not switch companies until my contract provided and one guy I spoke with stated that the date listed as my end date was exactly just the end date for the first part of my contract. I explained to him I trusted their website to provide me with accurate information and I relied on that. I then spoke to his supervisor who told me "You have no proof of what you are saying" and then requested that I send him a screenshot of what I saw. Why would I have taken a screenshot of it?!?!

I had been a customer for years. In October of 2019 I received an email notifying me that a payment was not made on autopay. It seems my card on file had expired. I went to their website and made the payment with my new card and updated my card on file for autopay. The site was glitchy and I had to re-enter my information twice before it registered. So now it is January 6 and my service has been disconnected. Since I am on paperless billing I receive a communication through my email. Apparently something went wrong with the autopay yet I was not notified by email. Instead they just added late fees for two months and sent a disconnect notice in the mail some time in December. Since my mail is being forwarded at the moment I only received the mail today January 6. When I explained I that I received no notification by email and that the website was having problems I expected them to remove the fees and reinstate my service. My customer service representative for this transaction was Nestor and the supervisor he consulted with the issue was Jorge Rodriguez. Apparently Mr Rodriguez and Cirro wish to take no responsibility for their problematic website and offered no reconciliation for the fees or the lack of communication that anything was wrong with the account. I will never use Cirro again. I paid their little 160$ fees and am taking my business elsewhere. I hope this helps someone choose a better company to do business with.

My bill was Cleary incorrect because of a bad smartmeter that was changed in the middle of the month. 1923 kWh for 2wks compared to 866 kW for last 2wks. I spoke with Jose employee #9809 and he was no help whatsoever. Even after comparing to other correct readings he still would not budge. Extremely obvious they are frauds. I will be changing companies. Customers beware!!

We had been with Cirro energy for a year and when our current plan was set to expire, I spoke with a Cirro agent the suggested a plan that she said would only be a small amount more than my current plan, WRONG! My next bill was nearly double what I had paid and I had used less electricity. When I called about the bill, they were surprised that the agent had suggested said plan, but they were not willing to change me to a plan better suited for my house size and usage without the $200 change fee...even if I stayed with their company! Unbelievable. I spoke with 2 agents and I emailed CS to no avail. I would not recommend Cirro!

I never signed up with Cirro Energy. They purchased my contract from Volterra Energy shortly after I signed up with Volterra. The customer service at Cirro Energy is a joke. So many lies. I ended my service on September 24, 2019. They charged me twice for the same month and then claim they issued a refund to my credit card for the duplicate charge on September 30. That is a lie.Their billing department is incompetent. I initiated a chargeback on my credit card because they lied about issuing a refund to me 3 weeks ago. Everyone should do themselves a favor - NEVER NEVER sign up with Cirro Energy. Too many better options available to deal with these people.

I signed up for Cirro Energy on 05/23/2018 and the services were connected on 05/24/2019 for the Smart 24 for 0.099 per kwh. On June 4,2019 while we were waiting to close on our new house, the ac went it. We purchased 2 (small) portable ac units and still received a bill for $274. We moved into our new home on 06/29/2019 so the month of June we did not have any ac. The first bill I received was almost $300. I work from home and I am here all day alone until around 9 pm or after. The next bill I received was for $486. I called and was told my rate was 0.12 per kwh. The first time I called I was told it was the transfer fee. I called again and was told that it was system glitch. I am now waiting for them to fix the issue and I was told that it would take 1-2 billing cycles. My only concern is my lights being cut off and I work from home and I have a child. I read the reviews after this incident and I DO NOT trust these people one bit. I am looking into other services as we speak. I wish I could give negative stars.

Back story: I purchased a smart plan 1 year ago with no issues and the process to connect energy was very easy. The billing/managment/customer service representatives however are another story. We receive paper bills and electronic emails for our account. On 2 separate occasions our payment was scheduled and subsequently cancled by Cirro Energy due to some sort of "problem" in the billing cycle. An email or phone call was never made to notify us which subsequently resulted in a disconnection notice being charge and late payments. Our payments had been late a few times but always paid. Automatic payments with our accounts (credit card and a checking account) do not work and their customer service team had been unable to remedy the situation. Most recently we recieved a disconnection notice having never been told the payment never processed resulting in a disconnection of our power the next morning. Oh by the way its the middle of summer and we have 2 month old and family visiting... Again customer service said nothing except for "Sorry" nor did they give a time frame for when power would be reconnected due to the mistake in the billing process. If you want to save some pain and time dealing with your electric company do not go with Cirro Energy, it's not worth your time or money for the pure lack of survice and insufficitent/unreliable billing system.If Cirro responds to this review; pay close attention to how they plan to offer to make these problems right and whether or not they take ownership of their companies lacking customer service/support.

For dec billing i was on autopay and somehow my card got declined. Cirro did not even give me the courtsey of a call or email telling me that the payment did not go through and within 5 business days they shut off my electricity. I was out with my kids in the cold and trying to call them and then they tell me that my payment was declined. On top of that to cover their asses they lied they had sent an email and i get an email the next day morning saying my card was declined after i had already restored power.I never choose Cirro energy as my provider but my account was sold to them through Pioneer Energy and now I am stuck in a contract with a company which sucks and doesn't even inform the owners and shuts down the power.

I had a contract with Power Express to receive $80 rebates if my usage was more than 800 kwh, Power Express honored the contract and refund me $40 for 1/2 month. Cirro Energy refused to honor it even though they indicated that my contract with Power Express will be honored with same term and pricing.

We were involuntarily switched to Cirro when they bought the provider we were with. After two months of not receiving a bill, welcome letter, anything, I tracked down whom I was switched to in order to avoid service interruption. They had been sending it to a completely different address. I set up an online account and it showed that I was in a contract with them until October 1st, 2018. Since the rate was higher than the going rate, I made a note to contact them. On Oct 6th I logged in to see what number to call to discuss a new plan and saw that my bill had jumped up 7 cents per kilowatt. What???? Ok, the contract is out, I'll get that fixed. I call and proceed to have the most asinine conversation. First they tell me that I was month to month and didn't have a contract. I pointed out that my online profile says that I do. He looks. Him - Oh, that just means that the rate you were paying wouldn't go up before that date but it wasn't a contract. Me - then why is listed as the "CONTRACT END DATE"? Him - thats just what we call it but its not a contract. ??????? Me - Ok, the contract that isn't really a contract ended on Oct 1st and my statement was generated on Oct 3rd but ya'll charged me the increased rate for the entire period, not just the 2 days. Can we get this fixed? Him - No, unfortunately we can't have two rates in a period. Me - So you're telling me that you are going to charge me an EXTRA $150 because I didn't cancel my contract that wasn't really a contract on the expiration day (but not really because it wasn't a contract)? Him - Well, if you sign up for a 24 month plan, I can see if I can get the rate retroactive to the 3rd. Me - And what about the overcharge on the current bill? Him - No, I'm sorry, I can't adjust that. Me - You honestly think I would sign a contract with you when you are overcharging me by $150 right now???? Him - There's nothing I can do.By the way, this was a supervisor. I hope he doesn't have an employment contract that turns out not to really be a contract.

Cirro Energy Inconsistent With Electricity Facts Label Terms Disclosure

Cirro Energy, (parent company is NRG [U.S. Retailers L.L.C.] which is the largest retail electric provider in Texas with subsidiaries Reliant Energy, Green Mountain, and Pennywise), bought out another electric company that I had a contract with, Pioneer Energy. In the Houston Chronicle in the Energy section on August 1, 2018, they quoted spokeswoman Pat Hammond, Cirro will honor the contract terms including the price of energy for the duration of the contracts. On August 21st, 2018, Cirro took over my electric services and on that same date, I received an email telling me I was now enrolled in a Cirro plan called Smart Simple 36 that after talking to Cirro customer service representatives, was told consisted of 12.9 cents per kWh for three years rather than my Pioneer contract that is one year at 8.34 cents per kWh. I was told repeatedly for over a month by Cirro representatives that Pioneer Energy had submitted my contract information that showed that my contract was 12.9 cents kWh for 3 years. This was in spite of my submitting by email to: service@care.cirroenergy.com, my copies of Pioneers Electricity Facts Label, Terms of Service and Rights as a Customer. Also I was told by Pioneer that they had submitted the correct paperwork and to wait and see if they bill me correctly. I was billed according to the Pioneer contract but on the bill, it still showed my plan as Smart Secure 36. During this time, the Texas Public Utility Commission (PUC) was involved. Then on September 20, 2018, Cirro emailed me a copy of my contract that was supposed to have been revised but it STILL showed 12.9 cents per kWh for 3 years. The following day, I received a phone call from Cirros headquarters in Plano, TX, who again told me that my former company, Pioneer Energy, had sent my contract information to Cirro, that showed it to be 12.9 cents per kWh for 3 years. Then after I showed the PUC the most recent contract sent by Cirro, Cirros management told the PUC that they had accidentally sent the wrong contract! Cirro sent another contract but it STILL shows the length of the contract for 3 years. The Texas PUC closed out the complaint anyway, just citing them only for inconsistencies with the Electricity Facts Label (EFL) Terms disclosure and recommended Cirro provide me with a corrected EFL that shows the correct terms. This Texas PUC report was written on 9/24/2018 and I also requested a corrected EFL, but I am still waiting for the Electricity Facts Label that reflects my actual Pioneer Energy terms! I do not understand how a legal contract that is to be honored and was specifically written into the terms of the buyout, is not cause for regulatory agencies like the Texas PUC to take more definitive action to protect consumer rights. I was in this complaint process for over a month with the Texas PUC and Cirro, but instead of Cirro immediately sending the corrected contract that very first day of the complaint, I waited over a full month to finally get a slightly modified contract that STILL was not corrected to the terms of my previous contract with Pioneer! And still the Texas PUC closed it out! Also a fair warning to everyone: whenever you sign up for any electricity service, it is imperative that you save a copy of your Electricity Facts Label as this is your legal contract with that company and without it, unethical companies like NRG and their subsidiaries can, at will, tell customers that the contract information received from the former electricity company is more costly and for longer lengths than what your actual contract terms actually were, and trap you into contracts that are not legal if you dont protect yourself. So, in closing, how would you define the problem? Would you define it like the Texas PUC, as only an inconsistency by Cirro Energy to disclose what my contract terms were after the buyout? Or do you see this as a more serious issue for Cirro customers?

Cirro Signed Me Up for Unauthorized Onerous Plan During Transfer of Pioneer Buyout

Nature of complaint: Contract Issues Problem description: Cirro Energy bought out Pioneer Energy and both companies stated they would honor all remaining contracts from Pioneer. It was stated on websites and emails sent to customers. However, I received an email from Cirro stating I was signed up for their Smart Simple 36 Plan which turns out to be a 3 year contract with Cirro Energy at about 13 cents per kWh. I never signed up for this and dont want it EVER! My remaining contract with Pioneer is until August 31st, 2019 at .0834 cents per kWh with no service charges and no charges if below a certain level of use (as some plans have). It is a fixed .0834 cents/kWh. I have all the relevant contract paperwork from Pioneer and submitted it online to Cirro and Pioneer Energy also submitted my contract information to Cirro. I was told the correct contract would be straightened out & in writing by August 31st. It has been over three weeks that Cirro has taken over my service & Cirro STILL has me down for the plan THEY signed me up for; I have called & emailed so that I can set up my online account & set up auto bill pay but I cannot do any of that until they put the correct contract in writing! I also asked them when my first bill would be due & they told me to contact CenterPoint Energy & refused to answer the question. When they respond back by email, it takes them 5-6 days to respond and their answers are unhelpful and illogical & do not address their plan of when my correct contract will be sent to me. They appear obstructive in their behaviors. Desired Outcome: Correct contract in writing in timely manner that reflects Pioneer Energy contract terms as stated during transfer between Pioneer and Cirro. End of obstructive behaviors and more timely customer service responses that reflect problem-solving skills. Note: I did NOT choose Cirro Energy as my service provider, I did NOT choose the Smart Simple Plan they STILL have me enrolled in, and I will NOT choose them in the future when I actually DO have a choice! There is a pattern of Cirro Energy doing this to customers that were acquired by business buyouts promising the same contract rates & then later blaming the former company for not providing the correct paperwork dating back to 2011 and possibly even longer than that. This is an unethical, predatory company with a long, long history of this and other customer abuses. Where is Texas consumer protection laws? From where Im standing, they appear to be completely gone and illegal, corrupt business practices are thriving in Texas every single day thanks to removal of regulatory clout that State and Federal agencies use to have (due to legislative changes paid for by companies like Cirro and its parent company NRG with their other subsidiaries consisting of Reliant, Green Mountain and Pennywise). They do not respond to emails any longer and even though they have all the proof they need regarding my previous Pioneer contract, they will not put it in writing so that I am assuming it will cause a late fee on purpose and the start of a highly acrimonious relationship!! I have an excellent credit rating and have no tolerance for these kinds of businesses!!! I have not signed in online as I will not agree to any service agreement with Cirro until my CORRECT contract with Pioneer is in WRITING and I have made that very clear to Cirro. The only contract I have is with Pioneer that I have actually signed and agreed to!!

Came home yesterday to find our power had been shut off, which I thought odd because we had just paid our bill via bank draft. Called Cirro, and representative stated power had been shut off due to non-payment. When we explained that we had paid, even showing proof that the money had come out of our account, customer service still stated they did not see a payment. We received no notice ahead of time of delinquincy (which we weren't) and no notice of warning of shut off). We paid the bill a SECOND time while on the phone, via debit card, and they sent a work order to Centerpoint to turn the power back on. However, because it was after 6 pm (or 5:30, depending on who you asked) there was no guarantee that the power would be back on that evening. Multiple different customer service agents told us multiple things about whether the work order was priority or not, whether Centerpoint had 2 hours or 24 hours to turn power back on, etc. They could not even tell whether Centerpoint had received the work order (Centerpoint stated for the entire evening that it was not received). The lack of communication between the two companies, and the disparate information coming from alll of the agents, was astounding and disappointing, and we will be looking for another power company as soon as possible.

I switched to Cirro because my brother recommended them. Big mistake. I signed up during a good promotion of 8.3 KWh in February. I called to ask questions. I was going to sign up for web exclusive. The rep said she could do it for me so I did. (Don't believe them because they will mess you up.) I thought everything was set up for March 13. On March 12th I found out that my contract was cancelled. I called and spoke to someone. I was having a bad day. The rep said a mistake was made and it was cancelled because the utilities commission thought there were 3 TXU accounts. So I asked about signing on line to get the Web exclusive. I wanted the $50 credit for the first bill. As the guy was talking he gave me a different plan and I wasn't paying attention. I received an email that stated I had the web exclusive plan. To make a long story short, I was signed up to a different plan. Part of it is my fault for not paying attention but I got the email that said it was the web exclusive. When I spoke to Cirro about it, the supervisor didn't want my email. He said the voice conversation said I agreed to the smart secure 12 plan not the web exclusive. (I think he didn't allow me to hear the whole thing because I know I mentioned the $50 credit.) You would think because of the misunderstanding, I would be given some kind of discount. Now no discount and a higher KWh. I should have stayed with Ambit. I(Since I see the low reviews for Cirro, I am going to drop them when contract is up.)

I have been with Cirro for years now. When I first begun with Cirro the order rep told me something untrue. Cirro went back through the recorded conversations and found that the rep had indeed said what I told them she said. They honored what I was told. This time when I call to renew the rates were substantially higher I was told that I could go on Cirro's website and if at anytime during the contract I found a lower rate I could call and get that rate. Today I found a lower rate. I called to sign up for the lower rate and was told it was for new customers only. I needed to sign in to my account to see if there was a rate I could change to. I told them that was not what I was told. I asked them to listen to the conversation as they had before. They refused. You have a 5 yr contract they said and I have other people I need to talk to. Apparently lying has become excepted business practice for Cirro. I would love to be rid of them

I have been with the company for more than 4 years but will be searching for a better one. On March 17th I paid a 490.00 bill completely to 0, instead of taking the switch hold off, they apply it to the next bill? So are you telling me that I have to remain with your company because you guys dont communicate to one another across your system, not only that but Ill Because that happened. I had to pay even more money the following month due to the fault and nobody is in charge to fix there reps mistakes or their actions. Go to another company, youll have a difficult time canceling, etc. in less than 3 months Ive paid over 1200 due to the way they bill etc. tired of dealing with cirro. Cant wait to be done.

After 3 phone calls and a run around I gave up. Who would chose to pay 12.72 for something they can get for 11.00? Who? I have probably paid Cirro $100,000 over the years, and was basically shown the door.

The price rate is high and I found a plan significantly lower and decided to switch. Before switching I went on their website to see when my current contract would end and switched to a new company on the date the website provided me as my contract end date. I then received a $200 cancelation charge. I contacted them to explain that I checked my account on their website to ensure I did not switch companies until my contract provided and one guy I spoke with stated that the date listed as my end date was exactly just the end date for the first part of my contract. I explained to him I trusted their website to provide me with accurate information and I relied on that. I then spoke to his supervisor who told me "You have no proof of what you are saying" and then requested that I send him a screenshot of what I saw. Why would I have taken a screenshot of it?!?! I was a customer of theirs for 9 years and at the end of the day they were not willing to make right THEIR error.

I had been a customer for years. In October of 2019 I received an email notifying me that a payment was not made on autopay. It seems my card on file had expired. I went to their website and made the payment with my new card and updated my card on file for autopay. The site was glitchy and I had to re-enter my information twice before it registered. So now it is January 6 and my service has been disconnected. Since I am on paperless billing I receive a communication through my email. Apparently something went wrong with the autopay yet I was not notified by email. Instead they just added late fees for two months and sent a disconnect notice in the mail some time in December. Since my mail is being forwarded at the moment I only received the mail today January 6. When I explained I that I received no notification by email and that the website was having problems I expected them to remove the fees and reinstate my service. My customer service representative for this transaction was Nestor and the supervisor he consulted with the issue was Jorge Rodriguez. Apparently Mr Rodriguez and Cirro wish to take no responsibility for their problematic website and offered no reconciliation for the fees or the lack of communication that anything was wrong with the account. I will never use Cirro again. I paid their little 160$ fees and am taking my business elsewhere. I hope this helps someone choose a better company to do business with. You have many options and this company takes no responsibility for their own issues nor do they appreciate their loyal customers. I hope they go out of business soon.

I signed up for Cirro Energy on 05/23/2018 and the services were connected on 05/24/2019 for the Smart 24 for 0.099 per kwh. On June 4,2019 while we were waiting to close on our new house, the ac went it. We purchased 2 (small) portable ac units and still received a bill for $274. We moved into our new home on 06/29/2019 so the month of June we did not have any ac. The first bill I received was almost $300. I work from home and I am here all day alone until around 9 pm or after. The next bill I received was for $486. I called and was told my rate was 0.12 per kwh. The first time I called I was told it was the transfer fee. I called again and was told that it was system glitch. I am now waiting for them to fix the issue and I was told that it would take 1-2 billing cycles. My only concern is my lights being cut off and I work from home and I have a child. I read the reviews after this incident and I DO NOT trust these people one bit. I am looking into other services as we speak. I wish I could give negative stars.

Back story: I purchased a smart plan 1 year ago with no issues and the process to connect energy was very easy. The billing/managment/customer service representatives however are another story. We receive paper bills and electronic emails for our account. On 2 separate occasions our payment was scheduled and subsequently cancled by Cirro Energy due to some sort of "problem" in the billing cycle. An email or phone call was never made to notify us which subsequently resulted in a disconnection notice being charge and late payments. Our payments had been late a few times but always paid. Automatic payments with our accounts (credit card and a checking account) do not work and their customer service team had been unable to remedy the situation. Most recently we recieved a disconnection notice having never been told the payment never processed resulting in a disconnection of our power the next morning. Oh by the way its the middle of summer and we have 2 month old and family visiting... Again customer service said nothing except for "Sorry" nor did they give a time frame for when power would be reconnected due to the mistake in the billing process. If you want to save some pain and time dealing with your electric company do not go with Cirro Energy, it's not worth your time or money for the pure lack of survice and insufficitent/unreliable billing system.If Cirro responds to this review; pay close attention to how they plan to offer to make these problems right and whether or not they take ownership of their companies lacking customer service/support.

The Cirro Energy recently merge with Power Express and they bill me twice for one month. Once by Power Express and again by Cirro Energy, each for 15 days interval. I had a contract with Power Express to receive $80 rebates if my usage was more than 800 kwh, Power Express honored the contract and refund me $40 for 1/2 month. Cirro Energy refused to honor it even though they indicated that my contract with Power Express will be honored with same term and pricing. I spend 1/2 hours talking to Cirro Energy customer service without any resolution. This was my first dealing with them and they are terrible company. Stay away from them....

I switched to Cirro in August. Everyone of my Bill's have come late. Every bill o get sent a 10 disconnect notice charge and a 15 late fee. I tried to pay my November bill online and was told my credit card expired that I had originally set up my account with. There is no place on the website for me to update my credit card nor can I chose auto pay. Every month I have to pay over phone. I should of never switched from my previous provider. I was with them 5 years and never had any issues. I switched to save money and so far I have paid 100 in bs fees.

We were involuntarily switched to Cirro when they bought the provider we were with. After two months of not receiving a bill, welcome letter, anything, I tracked down whom I was switched to in order to avoid service interruption. They had been sending it to a completely different address. I set up an online account and it showed that I was in a contract with them until October 1st, 2018. Since the rate was higher than the going rate, I made a note to contact them. On Oct 6th I logged in to see what number to call to discuss a new plan and saw that my bill had jumped up 7 cents per kilowatt. What???? Ok, the contract is out, I'll get that fixed. I call and proceed to have the most asinine conversation. First they tell me that I was month to month and didn't have a contract. I pointed out that my online profile says that I do. He looks. Him - Oh, that just means that the rate you were paying wouldn't go up before that date but it wasn't a contract. Me - then why is listed as the "CONTRACT END DATE"? Him - thats just what we call it but its not a contract. ??????? Me - Ok, the contract that isn't really a contract ended on Oct 1st and my statement was generated on Oct 3rd but ya'll charged me the increased rate for the entire period, not just the 2 days. Can we get this fixed? Him - No, unfortunately we can't have two rates in a period. Me - So you're telling me that you are going to charge me an EXTRA $150 because I didn't cancel my contract that wasn't really a contract on the expiration day (but not really because it wasn't a contract)? Him - Well, if you sign up for a 24 month plan, I can see if I can get the rate retroactive to the 3rd. Me - And what about the overcharge on the current bill? Him - No, I'm sorry, I can't adjust that. Me - You honestly think I would sign a contract with you when you are overcharging me by $150 right now???? Him - There's nothing I can do.By the way, this was a supervisor. I hope he doesn't have an employment contract that turns out not to really be a contract.

Cirro Energy Inconsistent With Electricity Facts Label Terms Disclosure

Cirro Energy, (parent company is NRG [U.S. Retailers L.L.C.] which is the largest retail electric provider in Texas with subsidiaries Reliant Energy, Green Mountain, and Pennywise), bought out another electric company that I had a contract with, Pioneer Energy. In the Houston Chronicle in the Energy section on August 1, 2018, they quoted spokeswoman Pat Hammond, Cirro will honor the contract terms including the price of energy for the duration of the contracts. On August 21st, 2018, Cirro took over my electric services and on that same date, I received an email telling me I was now enrolled in a Cirro plan called Smart Simple 36 that after talking to Cirro customer service representatives, was told consisted of 12.9 cents per kWh for three years rather than my Pioneer contract that is one year at 8.34 cents per kWh. I was told repeatedly for over a month by Cirro representatives that Pioneer Energy had submitted my contract information that showed that my contract was 12.9 cents kWh for 3 years. This was in spite of my submitting by email to: service@care.cirroenergy.com, my copies of Pioneers Electricity Facts Label, Terms of Service and Rights as a Customer. Also I was told by Pioneer that they had submitted the correct paperwork and to wait and see if they bill me correctly. I was billed according to the Pioneer contract but on the bill, it still showed my plan as Smart Secure 36. During this time, the Texas Public Utility Commission (PUC) was involved. Then on September 20, 2018, Cirro emailed me a copy of my contract that was supposed to have been revised but it STILL showed 12.9 cents per kWh for 3 years. The following day, I received a phone call from Cirros headquarters in Plano, TX, who again told me that my former company, Pioneer Energy, had sent my contract information to Cirro, that showed it to be 12.9 cents per kWh for 3 years. Then after I showed the PUC the most recent contract sent by Cirro, Cirros management told the PUC that they had accidentally sent the wrong contract! Cirro sent another contract but it STILL shows the length of the contract for 3 years. The Texas PUC closed out the complaint anyway, just citing them only for inconsistencies with the Electricity Facts Label (EFL) Terms disclosure and recommended Cirro provide me with a corrected EFL that shows the correct terms. This Texas PUC report was written on 9/24/2018 and I also requested a corrected EFL, but I am still waiting for the Electricity Facts Label that reflects my actual Pioneer Energy terms! I do not understand how a legal contract that is to be honored and was specifically written into the terms of the buyout, is not cause for regulatory agencies like the Texas PUC to take more definitive action to protect consumer rights. I was in this complaint process for over a month with the Texas PUC and Cirro, but instead of Cirro immediately sending the corrected contract that very first day of the complaint, I waited over a full month to finally get a slightly modified contract that STILL was not corrected to the terms of my previous contract with Pioneer! And still the Texas PUC closed it out! Also a fair warning to everyone: whenever you sign up for any electricity service, it is imperative that you save a copy of your Electricity Facts Label as this is your legal contract with that company and without it, unethical companies like NRG and their subsidiaries can, at will, tell customers that the contract information received from the former electricity company is more costly and for longer lengths than what your actual contract terms actually were, and trap you into contracts that are not legal if you dont protect yourself. So, in closing, how would you define the problem? Would you define it like the Texas PUC, as only an inconsistency by Cirro Energy to disclose what my contract terms were after the buyout? Or do you see this as a more serious issue for Cirro customers?

When I got my first bill with Cirro I couldn't believe they were charging me an electricity delivery charge that almost equaled my electricity charges. The next month it was the same and the month after that. I changed electric companies quick after that last bill. All the other companies I spoke with pass along some of the delivery charges but not almost doubling your bill.

Cirro Signed Me Up for Unauthorized Onerous Plan During Transfer of Pioneer Buyout

Nature of complaint: Contract Issues Problem description: Cirro Energy bought out Pioneer Energy and both companies stated they would honor all remaining contracts from Pioneer. It was stated on websites and emails sent to customers. However, I received an email from Cirro stating I was signed up for their Smart Simple 36 Plan which turns out to be a 3 year contract with Cirro Energy at about 13 cents per kWh. I never signed up for this and dont want it EVER! My remaining contract with Pioneer is until August 31st, 2019 at .0834 cents per kWh with no service charges and no charges if below a certain level of use (as some plans have). It is a fixed .0834 cents/kWh. I have all the relevant contract paperwork from Pioneer and submitted it online to Cirro and Pioneer Energy also submitted my contract information to Cirro. I was told the correct contract would be straightened out & in writing by August 31st. It has been over three weeks that Cirro has taken over my service & Cirro STILL has me down for the plan THEY signed me up for; I have called & emailed so that I can set up my online account & set up auto bill pay but I cannot do any of that until they put the correct contract in writing! I also asked them when my first bill would be due & they told me to contact CenterPoint Energy & refused to answer the question. When they respond back by email, it takes them 5-6 days to respond and their answers are unhelpful and illogical & do not address their plan of when my correct contract will be sent to me. They appear obstructive in their behaviors. Desired Outcome: Correct contract in writing in timely manner that reflects Pioneer Energy contract terms as stated during transfer between Pioneer and Cirro. End of obstructive behaviors and more timely customer service responses that reflect problem-solving skills. Note: I did NOT choose Cirro Energy as my service provider, I did NOT choose the Smart Simple Plan they STILL have me enrolled in, and I will NOT choose them in the future when I actually DO have a choice! There is a pattern of Cirro Energy doing this to customers that were acquired by business buyouts promising the same contract rates & then later blaming the former company for not providing the correct paperwork dating back to 2011 and possibly even longer than that. This is an unethical, predatory company with a long, long history of this and other customer abuses. Where is Texas consumer protection laws? From where Im standing, they appear to be completely gone and illegal, corrupt business practices are thriving in Texas every single day thanks to removal of regulatory clout that State and Federal agencies use to have (due to legislative changes paid for by companies like Cirro and its parent company NRG with their other subsidiaries consisting of Reliant, Green Mountain and Pennywise). They do not respond to emails any longer and even though they have all the proof they need regarding my previous Pioneer contract, they will not put it in writing so that I am assuming it will cause a late fee on purpose and the start of a highly acrimonious relationship!! I have an excellent credit rating and have no tolerance for these kinds of businesses!!! I have not signed in online as I will not agree to any service agreement with Cirro until my CORRECT contract with Pioneer is in WRITING and I have made that very clear to Cirro. The only contract I have is with Pioneer that I have actually signed and agreed to!!

My account was with another company for 2 years - then Cirro as I understand it purchased all the accounts. The transition period was not so good...but they gave & I gave so we came to a good understanding. They keeped the rate I had with my old company as I checked mine was lower then theirs. So for the last three years I have asked for a better rate, standing on my own payment record, I pay what is due before the paper bill is sent out and I have never been late. Now coming up in late August-September my contract will come due again...I asked for a good rate again with longer terms and received a good rate again with them, as of this writing July 19, 2018 no one has the same rate. I asked on a rate based on 1500 kwh...some months we are over, some months we are lower so 1500 is a good to average on. As of this writing - I most likely will sign again with them. I read my bill on line by the 14th of every month and paid it rounding up to the next dollar. I have done this with what ever company for the last 40 years and I have a great track record. I pay by my bank. My bank sends them money - they do not draw it out from my account - no one does that at all. I not work the heacke at all.

Had Cirro for several years now. Rates have been very competitive but that's all the good I have experienced. Had to report them once to Texas Utility Commission as they had my monthly bills and payments all messed up and just kept piling on extra charges thinking I owed them money. Their customer service is pitiful and treat you like "money payment" and could care less about a customer. Only reason I have renewed is their rates but you have to call in for best renewal rates.

Came home yesterday to find our power had been shut off, which I thought odd because we had just paid our bill via bank draft. Called Cirro, and representative stated power had been shut off due to non-payment. When we explained that we had paid, even showing proof that the money had come out of our account, customer service still stated they did not see a payment. We received no notice ahead of time of delinquincy (which we weren't) and no notice of warning of shut off). We paid the bill a SECOND time while on the phone, via debit card, and they sent a work order to Centerpoint to turn the power back on. However, because it was after 6 pm (or 5:30, depending on who you asked) there was no guarantee that the power would be back on that evening. Multiple different customer service agents told us multiple things about whether the work order was priority or not, whether Centerpoint had 2 hours or 24 hours to turn power back on, etc. They could not even tell whether Centerpoint had received the work order (Centerpoint stated for the entire evening that it was not received). The lack of communication between the two companies, and the disparate information coming from alll of the agents, was astounding and disappointing, and we will be looking for another power company as soon as possible.

I switched to Cirro because my brother recommended them. Big mistake. I signed up during a good promotion of 8.3 KWh in February. I called to ask questions. I was going to sign up for web exclusive. The rep said she could do it for me so I did. (Don't believe them because they will mess you up.) I thought everything was set up for March 13. On March 12th I found out that my contract was cancelled. I called and spoke to someone. I was having a bad day. The rep said a mistake was made and it was cancelled because the utilities commission thought there were 3 TXU accounts. So I asked about signing on line to get the Web exclusive. I wanted the $50 credit for the first bill. As the guy was talking he gave me a different plan and I wasn't paying attention. I received an email that stated I had the web exclusive plan. To make a long story short, I was signed up to a different plan. Part of it is my fault for not paying attention but I got the email that said it was the web exclusive. When I spoke to Cirro about it, the supervisor didn't want my email. He said the voice conversation said I agreed to the smart secure 12 plan not the web exclusive. (I think he didn't allow me to hear the whole thing because I know I mentioned the $50 credit.) You would think because of the misunderstanding, I would be given some kind of discount. Now no discount and a higher KWh. I should have stayed with Ambit. I(Since I see the low reviews for Cirro, I am going to drop them when contract is up.)

I was cirro energy customer 2010 and 2015. They had a web site upgrade during feb or march in 2015. During the web site change, my credit card payment did not go through. I manually pay the bill later. Their miserable payment system did not treat my payment (late a little because they web site) and refer this to debt collecting agent. They also keep changing the debt collecting agent. I think I may already pay the same amount twice, they still don't treat my payment as full. So you are going to be a customer, you need to keep your paper payment at hand no matter how long. I sure did not. That's why I may have to pay third time to avoid debt collection, which shout not happen at all.

Amazing, i was with Source for 2 plus years. Had been on average monthly billing / auto-pay for 2 years. This racket hijacks the account with allegedly only the info as to to where to send a bill.

Firs bill get is via snail mail (late) , double monthly bill for past 24 months and a LATE fee. Allegedly, no info was transferred over , really, you pick up tens of thousands of customers with no history ... really.

I am betting the officers are laughing out loud at how they did a switch and then added late fess to all those that had auto-pay each month. Bet they are already planning how to spend increased bonus and hundreds of thousands if not millions in late fees.

I have one year left on my foolish 2yr contract and I am considering paying the penalty to leave. The long and the short of it is I had auto-pay set up through my debit card...which was hacked TWICE. Each time I called and laboriously explained what had happened and I need to pay the account but would be getting a new card in the mail. You just know when the lights are home but "nobody's home" when you get a representative that obviously dislikes their job....and this happened each time I called. By the 5th call they refused to accept my debit card any more but would accept my bank account number...but I had to input it myself on the website which I had to beg to speak to a supervisor to explain they had me locked out of the website. Finally a supervisor begrudgingly unlocked the website long enough for me to input my account information. As my next due date approached I kept watching my bank account and the payment had not been withdrawn. so once again I called the service dept. I started off asking for a supervisor and the young lady refused to connect me. I tried to explain the situation to her and she said not worry the payment would come out on the due date. I explained that "today" is the due date and she assured me it would come out. 2 days pass... I called back and spoke to a relatively nice man and he informed me my payment did not go through because there wasn't enough money in my account...which was ludicrous. He did let me speak to a supervisor who apologized to me every other word but told me I was blocked for bank card or back account ...so I asked to please verify the number that was input...Sorry he couldn't see the number just the last 3 digits. I had to go to the website and verify it, but I protested I am locked out and cannot verify. After my desperation was finally clear to him he released the account for that one payment but told me I was now going to have to pay my account in person at Walmart or Kroger...so I begged to be released from my contract. I told him it was obvious they really didn't want me as a client so please release me...no can do he said...If you are thinking of Cirro...just say no!!!!

As soon as I joined they had an issue with my credit card, and kept trying to reprocess a bill for $77. After two failures they hit me with - "we cannot accept any credit card payments from you for at leas 6 months." My credit score is >800 and I've used Cirro service in prior years. This has been such a hassle.

I submitted the request on 5/25 for a switch effective 5/31. I received confirmation e-mails from Cirro and Texas Electricity Ratings. As of 6/7 the switch in providers had not occurred and I could not create/access my new Cirro account. I called Cirro and was told there was an error i the system and my switch did not go through. Rep could not seem to understand my frustration and why the switch failure was not my fault. He asked me to re-submit request. I advised it was not my fault and I would not, he would affect the switch. He confirmed via telephone voice recording the switch to Cirro. I subsequently received confirmation from former provider of my selection to remain. I also received confirmation from Cirro of the switch. I have written Cirro Customer Service twice. Finally, on 6/27 my account was switched to Cirro. As a result of Cirro's failure to execute my former provider billed me for an additional month. I am wholly unsatisfied with Cirro and their ability to provide adequate customer service.

Do not be taken in my their door to door guys. They sounds great. However I had to call the company, luckily, for a second meter that the rep promised to fix and just dropped. They would not honor what their sales rep promised or even get close to his promise. I spent two hours on the phone to finally get a promise for a supervisor to call me. No one has and its two days later. I changed my first meter and am so glad TXU called me and actually beat their rate by 2 cents a kWh for both meters and got it transferred back. Be very careful when dealing with these little energy companies. The big ones can beat their rates and have been around a long time.

This company must not have a phone, because after being a loyal customer for years, they shut off my power without notice. I had my account set up on credit card auto pay, and after I lost my card I forgot to update the number. 2 weeks after the due date for the payment, they shut off my power without notice. No phone call, no email, and just an innocuous looking piece of paper that looked exactly like the notice they would send to report that my credit card had been charged.

OnCor made a mistake when changing my meter and transposed numberss resulting in my getting someone else's electic bill. Cirro would not budge in helping make a payment just telling me I had to pay the entire bill.$500 for a 1 bedroom aprtment when my bills have never been over $200 and mostly beneath that. They (Cirro & Oncor) even admitted the situation was not my fault. (After to speaking with Oncor to be sure I was telling the truth) Had to forgo an airline ticket to see my dying father so I could pay their bill or be disconnected;l What a way to treat a long time customer of 10 plus years who has always paid her bill ontime and in full. Very poor service!!!! (Oh, and try not to have your customers on hold for 15-20 minutes) When you get the correction from Oncor you better give me the full credit back including the $10 you charge to send out a disconnect notice. I'm going to be sure everyone knows how poorly you treat people.

This is a horrible company.. they charge a stupid $10 fee to send you a disconnect notice even if you're 1-day late on paying your bill for the month. This $10 fee is in addition to the late fee(averages $4, dependent on the total balance) and the regular monthly charges. There's NO grace period from when you're bill is due to when they issue this stupid disconnect notice and charge a whopping $10 to mail you something that likely costs less than $1 to print and send via USPS. Then, they told me I'd be charged $200 to cancel the service even if I cancel 1-day before the contract expires..... smh RIP-OFF, don't sign up! TRUST ME

Cirro Energy is not the company it once was. I liked them when I first signed up, but things have gone downhill. The problems began when I moved to a new residence. I transferred my service to the new home, and endured endless problems with billing. The previous owner of the home also used Cirro, but didn't properly cancel the service like they should have. Cirro then tried to get me to pay their bill, even after I sent them documents showing the precise date that I took over ownership of the house. Worse still, their customer service department repeatedly gave me inconsistent answers to questions and could not resolve my problem. They made promises, then failed to keep them. I am finished with them as an energy provider and plan to find someplace better.

If you miss the due date they charge 10 dollars plus a late fee. They will cut you electric service off within 24 days of the end of billing cycle. I missed one month payment, do to my oversight. Before I got the next months bill they had already disconnected power. Unbelievable!!!! If you are late with a payment expect to be gouged with a "disconnect notice fee" yes a 10 dollar notice for letting you know you are passed due plus!!!! the usual percentage for being late.

DONT CONTRACT THROUGH THEM! BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE and in my mind fraudulent. We were closing on a house on Thursday May 26th. MOve in May 27th. I called monday afternoon to set up service. The rep talked me into setting up service on thursday the 26th because they have until midnight to turn on power. I wanted to make sure that we had power on day of move in and she said she couldnt guarentee unless I scheduled for the day before. So I did. Our closing date got pushed out as of wednesday evening to Tuesday May 31st. I immidiately called them to reschedule turn on and they said that they could not reschedule, I spoke to multiple people including a Manager named Carlos. They said that I would be billed for set up, and for 48 hours of use before shut off. I explained to them that the sellers will still be living in this house. They basically said that wasnt their problem. So now I am paying for turn on, the sellers electric bill for 48 hours and then the sellers will have to call and have their electric turned back on for 48 hours before they move out. They did not care that I refused to sign a new contract with a new set up date. I will make sure that everyone I know and my realtor knows to not use this company. Their are other companies thay are comparable.

I tried to do so repeatedly online. I would get confirmation that it was all set up and "good to go" and then a month and a half later, I would get a late notice fee. Then when i tried to pay online each month, it kept making me pay late fees even when i wasn't late. I asked multiple customer service reps for help, but the answer was always no. I switched companies because of the difficulty I had with Cirro's online auto pay system. Ridiculous!

The means I am to receive a refund which they agreed. Guess what no refund and when I just wen out and checked my account, I was not credited my double payment. Now they claim I owe them.

Cirro cut off our energy one Sunday when we were not at home. Bye to a refrigerator load of food. Put the balance on a credit card to reestalish service.

It took about a month after sending a picture of the fronts and backs of checks for them to be credited.To avoid a repeat, I put the account on autopay (bill to credit card). Today I received notice of an overdue bill (not billed to autopay). I emailed for an explanation. Received a request for more info and a non-existent email address to which to reply. Pnoed them and was told I had only today set up autopay (I logged in to make sure I had it with a correct credit card number.)My wife my well be right that we should switch to a provider with reasonable business practices. Cirro may have cheap rates but the savings is rapidly eaten up by refrigerators full of bad food.

So my 2-year fixed price agreement ended in August.I take responsibility for not seeing the email that Cirro DID actually send out... between spam and 100's of emails a day, stuff happens.Wat I don't understand about these companies is that when a contract lapses, and you basically gouge your (former!) customers with crazy month-to-month rates, how many customers are going to hang around?And then, as the final "adieu, so long", they slap a "Disconnect Recovery Charge" of $25 on the last bill. And THAT's the piece that gets posts like this, along with whatever I can accomplish on Social Media with a few spare minutes during my day.So, to summarize, I would recommend that () everyone checks when their contracts expire, and (b) check our powertochose.org. Don't hassle yourself with any kind of loyalty to any of these companies... make sure that they know how to do business, and go with the cheapest one out there!Have a great day! russ

The service reps have their hands tied and can't help so you have to wait for a supervisor. It took them 2 months to remove a late fee and over 2.5 hours of phone calls...ridiculous.

I chose Cirro years ago and have been with them almost five years. I have had endless problems and head aches starting two years ago. I held onto the fact that they were a great company for us before. However, they have gotten ridiculous. It started when they changed the bill date to five days before my monthly payday. I am on a very limited income. I didn't even notice until a few months in when my bill was slightly higher. I asked them to change it, but by then they said they could not because of my payment history. So every month there was a late fee. Then they started handing out disconnect notices two days after the due date permanently charging me the late fee and a disconnection notice. I might add that my bill went up to $160-170 dollars on a plan for a space less than 500 sqft. I don't even have the energy to go through all the twisted things they have done to make extra money at their customers' expense. I will say, I have had up to $190 bill with them and I didn't have a washer or dryer or anything that might use up that kind of electricity. I had another account on another property at the same time 2 bedroom with four people used their $126. A/C all day and night. Three years ago, I would not have thought twice about recommending them. Now my recommendation to those who talk about being with them for several years and happy...just wait.

Cirro has some very questionable practices when posting payments to customer accounts.We pay our bill through our bank and we schedule for it to be paid on the "pay by" date on the bill. Our bank shows our payment was delivered on time. Cirro attempted to charge a late fee because they didn't post the payment until three days later!! Their customer service folks at first refused to remove the $9.65 late fee. After further discussion they removed the late fee but admonished us to pay our bill earlier to avoid future late fees.. So, let's see if I have this right, If we pay our bill on the due date I'm late because Cirro can't post their accounts until three days later. So it's our problem they can't do their work in a timely manner. It's our problem they don't understand that they should post the account to the day funds are received not the day they get around to posting it.Terrible accoiunting practices and very poor customer service.

I wanted to make sure that I got my bill paid on time so I paid my bill excluding $20.00. My thought process was that I would go by the bank an put 20.00 into by bill account and add that amount to the payment the following day. Well of course I forgot and got busy so I did not do that. weeks later I came home to no lights. I called and got the after hours answering service who then informed me that I was cut of for non payment. I then explained that I had paid and told him the date and amount of the payment from my bank statement. He then informed me that I was disconnected because I was $20.00 short on the payment. I told the guy that I had never heard of a company doing that before. He then told me that he had someone who only owed $5.00 and they were cut off. Well that 20.00 ended up costing me a whole lot more after re-connection fees and food replacement. I bought out of my contract and went with another provider after that.

And one guy name Carlos told me he will not transfer my call to his supervisor, when I requested him and the reason he gave me is, I'm not their customer (though I paid monthly bill that afternoon)3. I spoke with half a dozen people there and every one will put me on hold for more than 30 mins before finally transfer the call to other department! its never ending story.I fed up with these guys and closed my account and transferred to new provider.Friends, Cirro is not like old cirro! please move on! they charge more and customer server is horrible.

Thank goodness my contract has ended with this "company". I only wish I had reviewed this website first and avoided the hassle. First and foremost, the people who write about not being able to talk to anyone in Customer Service is VERY ACCURATE. I cannot tell you the HOURS I spent on the phone with agents who had no clue what was going on, and there was NEVER a supervisor available. I frequently spoke with agents in Longview, TX and it sounded like there was always a party going on in the background rather than a business. I was told different things on the phone everytime I called, but no one ever wanted to put anything in writing. I now know it was because they were lying non-stop so they could deny what they said later. The biggest problem in my scenario is that I have a RESIDENTIAL agreement with them, but I was charged 12 months COMMERCIAL delivery charges because they said it was Oncor's decision. The building where I reside was at one time a church with a parsonage. They can see it is only residential now. I was the one who had to do all the leg work and conduct follow thru with Oncor. In the meantime, Cirro just kept pointing the finger at Oncor and robbing me commercial rates. So I have a "residential" agreement, but am really being charged commercial rates. Hmmm....can you say fraud? And even after I pointed all this out to them, they still sent me another residential agreement? Next letter is to Public Utility Commission. Everyone makes mistakes, but a real business has someone there to talk to to work thru problems and then honors what they tell you they will do on the phone.

As a preamble, I have been a Cirro customer for years and have an excellent credit rating. Cirro's bill has a due date of the end of the month and if it is paid one day late, you receive a cutoff notice and additional late charges. Over the years, this bill has been missed just because we normally don't pay bills at the end of the month. We requested that the due date be changed to the first of the month. Seems like a simple request that should make everyone happy. They would get paid on schedule and we would not over look the bill. After being refused twice by their front line customer service. I requested a supervisor, who agreed to change the due day. Within a hour I got a call that this could not be done despite the supervisor's agreement, because of my poor payment history. Never mind that they have always been paid within a few days of their due date and I have been a customer more than 6 years. So the only question now, is do I quit now or way 6 months until my contract is up.

I've been very happy with Cirro Energy for several years. My contract was up for renewal in November, so I tried to renew in October. The site wouldn't work, so the CSR told me to wait about two weeks until the system conversion was done. I renewed on October 18, 2014, and received a confirming e-mail. As of December 1, my contract shows to have expired, my renewal seems to have never happened, and now I am being billed at the market rate. I was just on hold for 30 minutes, only to be told they would have to put my account in investigation mode, and it would take another billing cycle for them to call me back. So far, the NRG sale has Cirro totally screwed up.....

Horrible Customer Service. To make a long story short I was calling to set up new service and the customer rep actually told me she was to busy and didnt have time to go over their cheapest plan rate available. She said they have lots of different plans and could give me the plan they are trying to push to everyone but did not have time to go through each plan and figure out which one has the lowest rate. Unbelievable. I manage about 100 homes and 3 business and changing my provider for all of them. Upper management really needs to figure out who there best customers are and stop jerking them around. I will never recommend anyone to cirro. I will go out of my way to make sure everyone knows how poor of a company they run.

I have been a Cirro customer for many many years and was dropped from a low KWPH plan to a month to month plan that almost doubled my KWPH without notice. There was no email, no phone call but apparently they said they mailed a notice to me. To top it off after I called they just blamed me for not renewing and were not helpful in offering me a special rate to retain me as a customer. Even speaking with a supervisor offered no help. Their attitude seemed to be sorry, it was your fault and we really don't care if you go somewhere else or not. So be it.

Signed a three year contract July 2013. Sold to NRG mid-2014. Cancelled my level billing plan and sent letter telling me I could re-up for level billing after first bill printed. Four phone calls, "our system is down", "transition not complete, call back", unresponsive supervisors, promises to call back not fulfilled. Now I'm "past due" because last statement had two different amounts due on the same date. Can put you back on level billing after you pay that. Oh, and level billing is based on usage since buyout....we can't use your past year usage....And we're in the high usage part of the year. But, cannot get out of contract without penalties. Big company dishonesty and lack of interest in customer service.

I had a great experience with Simple Energy. Cirro bought them and this was a decent experience until they were purchased by another bigger electric company. I locked in a year and then lock in rates were not attractive for this year...so left to market rate. Bills more than doubled. Previous summer I used more energy and bill was...half the price. About 15 cents a kilowatt hour. I called and asked why they did not charge me the current market rate..why this inflated value -- no answer. (Silence on their end). When I asked what their best - lowest lock in rate/contract was. They cited me a horrible rate -- worse than what was available online through their website. When I called them out on it..they said yes -- we have that. They prompted replied with a worse offer as a counter to the "best deal". When I replied with why they did not give me the Lowest rate initially -- they failed to respond. They eventually replied -- would you like to sign up for the 2 year (bad rate they first shared with me). I told them they failed to address why they took advantage of me in the month to month plan, and then would not share with me the lowest rate when requested -- and that I would be switching companies. A week later -- my online profile with that company was deleted...I will have to most likely wait for the bill in the mail and pay it manually.. I was never rude with them. Never paid late. I just wanted to know why I would pay much more than the market rate.. then if it was worth locking in..what could they offer me. I feel the change in management has led them to some foul practices. I would not..would not use them. There are better rates with better service. I signed up with Bounce for month to month...promo rate is 5.6cents. I called them about the market rate.and they said it varies..but did not expect it to vary too much from 8-10 cents in the next month. I have never left a utility complaint before ..but I wanted others to hear this -- it may save you a $300 bill.

I switched from Reliant, who I had been with for years, to Cirro Energy last year, at a 9.7 advertised rate. I saved over $1,100 in electric costs during 12 months over prior year's Reliant costs. Now it's time to renew and I'm researching, checking EFLs and company ratings. The current Cirro advertised rates (13.5, 11.1, and 10.6 respectively) appear to include a new "base" charge of $7.95 if your usage is less than 1000 kWh, which mine did for 7 of 12 months this past year. I'm not sure if that is calculated into the "between 500 and 1000" price or not, so I'm going to call them. Otherwise, I've been exceedingly happy with the cost and the service this past year. I'm in the CenterPoint Energy region, which, from what I understand, is the actual service provider (meter reading, troubleshooting, outtages, etc.) for ALL companies in that region regardless of who your energy provider is, so complaints in those categories are a moot point as far as I'm concerned....they're CenterPoint issues, not the energy providers.

It is 1 month since the check has been issued and I still have not received my $760.

I have been with them for 12 months and my contract will expire in a few days. I started shopping around because the rates with Cirro went up. I was paying 9.6 and now it went up to 11.0c. Looking at the reviews of other companies, I realized that paying the difference will be worth it. Other companies require you to use certain kw if not you get charged for it, others change the plan without letting you know even under a contract. I have never had to ask for an extension for paying my bill and I hope I will never have to, but Cirro doesn't charge you a late fee until 4 days after your bill is due, other companies will not give you even a day. I think after reading horrible stories I will stick with Cirro Energy.

If you set up auto-pay and there is a problem with the card because it expired, or you had to cancel because of fraudulent activity in connection with the card, they don't notify you - they disconnect without proper notification of intent to disconnect.

I had a referral once and they explained that they would take that months bill and spread it out over 6 months. There were no surprizes. They did exactly that and what a lifesaver it was. I pay my bill online and I have never had a single problem with this company. They email me when it is time to renew and the website is very easy to navigate when deciding which plan I wish to choose. Hope this helps!

They said OK but billed again with a reconnect fee. Power not reconnected. Then told this is in suspension and they kept billing and adding reconnect fees. They say this is all legal and have to
wait for another reconnect to disconnect and pay more fees. it will be worth it to pay the penalty on

No shady dealings here, no tricks, just selling power. At least they have an after hours customer service line. Customer service is about as good as with most power companies.

My experience with Cirro was that it had decent customer service and decent rates if you do not consider fees. It clearly price-gouges with a $10.95 meter reading fee. Electricity meters are read electronically, and we have had to pay extra for the smart meters. So there should be no fee whatsoever. However, a pass through charge is allowed but it is only $3 per month. Cirro charged $11 and lies and claims it is charged by everyone.It charges are high for a low usage customer, therefore, I rescinded my contract as allowed. May be more affordable for high-usage customers.

I have multiple properties with Cirro, and have been with them for a number of years. One problem after another. I used to pay bills in advance, due to inconsistency with income, but they could not register the advance payments correctly. It took over a year of calling every month reminding them I paid in advance. Then I noticed payments were registering over a week after reciept. They told me repeatedly that it took them a few days to register my payments, once they received them. Now I am told that there are no extensions for late payments. (I ask for two days, since I was in the hospital and mailed check afterwards - to allow the check to get there). I ask three times for a supervisor, to be told supervisors were not available right now. After fourth request, another person on line, but while she claimed to be the supervisor, she did not come across as one and spoke in a mediocre manner to the situation. I ended up having to pay again, knowing it could cause a problem in over payment, once again. I am fed up with the indifference of their customer service and have practice patience for too long. The only time I get quality service is when it is time to renew my contract. I tolerated it during the growing pains of the company, but it is getting worse. I am now searching for a company who wants my business. Evidently Cirro is doing so well, they do not need my mine. .

She went through everything with me and told me where to find the TDU pass through price per qwh on my contract and the meter reading fee.

I could save 0.6 cents per kwh by switching to YEP. I generally use 2000 kwh, so that adds up to $12 per month. Cirro has no fixed monthly fee but YEP has a $7.95 monthly fee. That drops the savings to $4.05 per month. I've read lots of reviews of lots of companies, and most of the complaints have to do with things going terribly wrong when switching companies. Do I want to take that risk for $4.05 per month?

If I were using 1000 kwh per month, switching from Cirro to the "less expensive" YEP would actually cost me money because the savings from YEP's lower rate would be less than the additional $7.95 monthly charge.

I've had Cirro for 7 years at this address and several years at a prior address. Call me lucky if you wish, but I've never had a problem with them...so far... It always seems like I should be able to get a better deal. When I go though the fine print and run the numbers, however, the better deal never seems good enough to risk all the things that apparently can go wrong when making a switch.

The second largest category of complains seems to be "My electric company got taken over by another company and everything went wrong after that." Cirro is one of several companies that gets lots of complaints from the customers of companies that they bought. I don't see a way to avoid that risk - any company you pick might be bought out before your contract expires. I wish us all good luck!

Customer service rude and not helpful or forthcoming even when you are clear about what you need and wanting to know what the next step is. Was told to call Oncor myself. Oncor tells me what the next step is and that CIrro has to send the reconnect order. I call Cirro back to verify that my reconnect order was sent since 1st customer service rep did not mention it. Second customer service rep verifies that the reconnect order is automatic and was sent. Smart meters don't take long once Oncor gets the order. He basically told me what the 1st rep should have said and what the Onocr rep actually did say. Cirro rep even puts an expedite on it for an additional fee, of course. I wait 2 1/2 hrs call Oncor to verify if they have received the order yet from Cirro. No nothing. So much for expedite! Oncor says I should call Cirro back and stay on them. I call Cirro back. Bounce through the IVR. Every "rep" I speak to has limited to no access to my information and doesn't know why the order has not gone over to Oncor yet. The advertised "24 hrs" Customer Service center closes at 8PM. "You can call back in the morning 730AM. I'm just the payment processing center and can't help you. Sorry I have seen this happen before where the customer has a current a account and yet no services for days." UNACCEPTABLE Cirro! I will be taking my business elsewhere. DO NOT USE Cirro as a service provider! Poor service, incompetence, the run around and lies is what you'll get. Their own payment processing people even admit to Cirro's failings and incompetence when it comes to customer service. Piss Poor!

After specifically asking Cirro to start my service on a certain date, they started it the FOLLOWING DAY!
This caused my old provider to charge me a $200 "early termination" fee. Needless to say, I canceled the Cirro agreement.

Cirro's customer service really sucks.

If you pay your bills, aren't a deadbeat, and pay attention to the rules regarding renewal (which apply to all REPs) you shouldn't have any issues with Cirro. I've been a customer since January of 2010 at which time I switched from TXU and couldn't be happier. I've never had any billing issues and Cirro offers many payment options which I finally opted for the auto billing on my credit card. I've used the website numerous times without any issues and it is well orgranized and realiable. If you don't pay your bills in a timely manner there will be fees and penalties just like any other REP. For responsible customers I have no hesitation in recommending Cirro.

The worst service ever! We started getting weird bills that didn't make sense. We paid all our bills on time, even when we got a bill that said they owed us money! We knew better and since we were using balanced billing we sent our payment in just the same. Then we got a disconnect letter, even though we were paid in full. That was the last straw, we dropped them! Stay away from these guys, they don't know their heads from their bottoms.

My problems with this company have been going on for almost a year! In October of 2011, I moved from an apt to a home and contacted Cirro to transfer service. I moved and everything was fine until December of 2011 when I began to receive bills for my old apt - a location I hadn't lived at in 3 months. I contacted Cirro, and they informed me something was done incorrectly on their part when transferring service and they would immediately disconnect the prior location. A few days later the power mysteriously went out at my current location. When I spoke with the supervisor Moses, I found out they had disconnected the wrong address. This just so happened to be during one of the only cold spells in Jan 2012 and I have a little one at home. I repeatedly called trying to see when my power would be turned back on, but the answer from supervisor Moses was that it was not his problem, he was the only manager on duty and they were too busy. Through all this, somehow a third account was opened in my name - the 1st being from my apt, the 2nd being my home, & the 3rd yet another account for my home. I was charged a move in fee for this 3rd account, even though I never moved, & several other fees which were eventually credited back to my account. Then in March 2012 I was sent a disconnect notice for not paying a bill - when in actuality I had paid every bill. After this, I spoke with supervisor Lisa to cancel my service and spent days arguing with the company over why I should be let out of my contract without a cancelation fee. I was sent a final bill in March 2012 and paid it on time, therefore zeroing out my balance with all three accounts closed... or so I thought! Yesterday, 8/9, I got a call from a collection agency saying I was delinquent for approx $150 with Cirro due 8/11 by 1pm. I called supervisor Lisa again, and after a short conversation was disconnected. She never called back. I spent over an hour trying to get her back on the phone, but every time I was told she was on another call. I eventually spoke with yet another person and they informed me it would be taken care of today and I would be notified by a phone call and an email no later than 9am. I was not. I called again tonight, several times attempting to get a supervisor on the phone, and when I finally did - the response was that they were extremely busy and that nothing could be done until next week. So now I get to wait and see if my credit is damaged from a mysterious delinquent amount on a zeroed out account closed 3 months ago. Never, I repeat, NEVER sign on with Cirro Engery. They might fool you by saying you will be saving money, but they actually charge almost $60 a month in delivery charges and extra fees they don't want to explain. The hassle is not worth it!! They are too short staffed, inexperienced, and lack all the basics of proper customer service and communication for that matter.

I have renewed for the third time. I am very happy with the electric bills each month.
Had a billing problem last year and I will admit it was frustrating to deal with their call center
of people who appear to not talk to each other or document anything. Had to explain the situation every time I had to follow up on it. It took three weeks to prove to them that I had paid before the due date and they had cashed my check before the due date. My bank couldn't believe how stupid they were.
Since that horror show - no problems at all. I 'm keeping them for now.

issue and Yes they asked me FAX a copy of my check.

I have used Cirro Energy at my last two apartments. I loved their low rates. I was going to set it up for my third apartment and called to ask a quick simple question.The woman who answered said that they were closed and i'd have to call back tomorrow. When i told her that the cirro energy website says that I can call 24-7 she said that is for only emergencies and hung up.This is the exact quote from their website: "Call us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for expert answers to all your electricity questions. You'll see why over 100,000 customers across the state have chosen Cirro Energy for exceptional customer service and electricity savings."-www.cirroenergy.comThere may be more expensive energy rates at other companies but i will take that over Cirro's "customer service" or lack of. It was such a short and simple question too.

Upon signing with cirro I was told there was not a TDU delivery charge, just their rate per KWH. Then upon receiving my first bill they put the TDU charge double the amount of the electric charge. When I asked for them to pull up the recorded conversation. I was told they wont pull those up unless legal action is taken. and if I break contract I will have to pay each months remaining delivery charges......Do not use cirro......

I've been with Cirro for 2-3 years and have had no problems with the service, online payments, etc. I am a church administrator and switched our church (which has a few different meters) to Cirro as well and have had no problem at all. They are not usually the absolute lowest price, but they are pretty close and the convenience of no problems is worth a slightly higher price.

I do not recommend this energy company. The telemarketer did not tell me I was signing up for a one year contract. If I would have known I wouldn't have signed up. The next thing I know I am being charged $150 because I went with another energy company. Then when I called customer service they would not allow me to hear the conversation between me and the telemarketer. They said they had the conversation taped but refused to allow me to hear it. I think they didn't let me hear it because the proof would be in my favor. I wouldn't use this company.

This is the WORST electric co i have ever had! I was also,with Kenetic and they were awesome. I feel like i went from the top all the way to the bottom of the barrel. I was on the equal billing plan and Cirro can not get it figured out.It has become a part time job just calling them every week to try and get my bill corrected, it still has not happened. They keep saying one thing on the phone but keep showing on the payment site that i am late. This is the most screwed up incompetent company i have had to deal with, i am on hold with them as i type, still trying to get my bill corrected...can not wait to get away from this night mare of a company!!!!

I was switched from Kinetic to Cirro and was told in writing that I had to do nothing and my contract would remain in place. I just happened to logon yesterday to change my form of payment and it said my contract had expired even though I just renewed with Kinetic in January (also have a 12 month contract in writing from Kinetic). Cirro put me on month to month with no notice, so my bill is now much higher AND they did not continue average billing as I had with Kinetic. When I called, I got nowhere as the rude C/S person Jessica basically said it was Kinetics fault and there was nothing she could do. Asked for a Supervisor and of course, there was nobody available. I have filed a complaint with the BBB, but I am sure that will go nowhere. They are crooks...stay away!

I'm very dissatisfied with the billing
transition between Cirro and Kinetic after
Kinetic was bought out. I feel they really
dropped the ball on getting us switched over.
Apparently many former Kinetic customers had
similar problems. Cirro customer service is
terrible. I'll be switching as soon as my
original contract ends.

Stay away from Cirro!
