Recent Good Review from Everett Aikman

Never Had a Problem

We've been with IGS/Dynowatt for almost 7 years now. Never had a problem, ALWAYS have had good experiences. Very good customer service. Flexible if you need a couple of extra days to pay. Always there if you have a question or problem. Had one experience when we lost power and Oncor gave us the run around about when the repairs would be made. Called IGS and they contacted Oncor on our behalf. Amazingly, there was a repair crew working on the transformer within a couple of hours. Rates are more than reasonable. Recommend to others all the time.

Saved me $1500 a year

The sales rep was very informative and friendly. He showed me not only the savings but showed me how to use less electricity. They delivered what they promised. Great company.

Great

After becoming frustrated with TXU and trying to get help from outsourced employees, I switched to Dynowatt, a Texas based company whose customer service reps are located in Texas. The customer service reps are great and actually are able to help you when you call -- and not simply read from a computer screen.

Good company

I have never had a problem with them. They have been flexible when it comes to payments. Rates are good. I have never had a problem with them. Compared to Reliant and TXU (both of which have ripped me off), they are a very good company. They were recommended by our son. And we switched my father in law from Gexa to Dynowatt, and his bill went down. So I don't know what happened with these other peopleas far as issues with Dynowatt, but I will recommend them to anyone.

Great Customer Service

I have been extremely pleased with my 3 years of service with Dynowatt. Their customer service has been perfect from phone to on-line chat - very friendly and always helpful but most of all extremely easy to reach. Their rates have been very competitive up until this year and unfortunately I think I may switch since they are a full cent or more a kwh higher than other plans with highly rated providers.

Long time happy customer

Afer reading the horrible reviews, wewonder what planet you live on. Dynowatt has been our electrical provider since electric rates were deregulated years ago. They are the greatest. Our rate adjusts monthly and when I compare my bill with friends and family, Dynowatt is always lower. Their bills are easy to read and understand. Best rate and great billing. Please note, you must have excellent credit to qualify. Maybe that's the issue with all the whiners and complainers.

Good for second chance company

I have had Dynowatt for a year now- I have been happy with the price of the plan. They also didnt require a deposit when others wanted a really big down payment. My bill was low in the summer but kinda high in the winter.

Dynowatt good experience

Dynowatt's 16 month fixed rate plan was one of the lowest rate plans the last time that I signed a contract. Transition was easy and fast. No billing errors over the 16 months. Great experience. Unfortunately, they are not one of the lowest now, so I will probably not renew.

Impresses

Had it almost a year very happy they allowed me to lower my rate in the middle of my contract. They have a fixed plan rate that allows you to change it one more time if the rate goes down. I love that. All companies should try it as well. Thanks...

Internet Limited, Inadequate Customer Service

I got on line in an effort to have my electricity service moved to a new apartment. First thing, I mentioned was that I wanted to move my service, as I have been pretty pleased with Dynowatt after a miserable experience with TXU. Buenavida, the agent that I chatted with, made me go through all the security checks, and then told me I would have to call to make the change.

It was 5:23 when I placed the call and was told to keep holding and the next available would be with me in a minute. The message was repeated over and over, ad nauseum. At 5:45, the message was replaced by a sound similat to that made by a tape recorder when it is rewinding. I never got to take care of my business.

I was going to transfer Dynowatt from my old apartment to my new, but considering the cavalier treatment, I think I will shop around. .

100% renewable

Left Reliant 2 years ago and chose Dynowatt/Accent Energy since their
100% renewable plan was one of the best, at the time. Customer service
rep during the switch was very well informed, patient, clearly spoken and
professional. Billing was accurate and timely. Base charge is triggered
when customer uses 1000 kWh or less per month.

Have recently switched to Tara Energy for a more competitive and cost
efficient 100% renewable rate. Also base charge is triggered when
customer uses 500kWh or less per month. That is also a savings for our
household in Houston, TX.

Bad experience

Dynowatt has a pretty poor website. I have had problems downloading my bill among other things -- you don't realize how important the website is until it's a bad one!

The biggest problem we had was when I set up autopay on their website, but it didn't cover my current bill (nothing suggested as much on the site). I got one notice through the mail (ignored it because I had just set up auto pay a couple days before!) before they shut off our power one evening. No email, no phone call, no other notice. We had to leave the house for the night (it was winter and we have two babies).

I just can't believe that a steady paying customer who had entered an autopay program would be treated like that.

To be fair, Dynowatt credited our costs (hotel, dinner) on the bill and claim to be working on their policies for dealing w/ customers, but we had to have many long discussions with them over the phone and write a long letter before they got to that point.

Payment processing & contract cancellation fee

Be Aware:

1st) not noticing until after my account was
closed, I had been charged late fees on 2
occasions when my bank delivered payments on
the due date (a Friday) but Dynowatt did not
process them until the following Monday. guess
they don't do payments on Fridays?

2nd) within 30 days of the end of my 12 month
contract, upon prodding from emails from
dynowatt that my contract was ending soon, I
switched providers (found a better price). I
was slapped with a $150 contract cancel fee
because it wasn't within 14 days of the
contract end. Seriously, 10 business days?!
The contracts read that these contract cancel
fees are supposed to be reasonable estimates of
loss and not a penalty. Given the time left in
the contract (less than 30 days), is $150
really a reasonable estimate.

Result: so they gained $150 in an additional
fee, but guaranteed no further business. Not
exactly a plan for long term growth.

Dynowatt - Not Impressive

I chose Dynowatt becasue at the time they were the lowest priced. Everything was fine until i noticed my bill had TRIPLED in the summer months. Their customer service wasnt helpful, and even double billed me for one month. Their website was originally pretty poor, but has recently gotten better.

Slammed my credit reports

I have never used Dynowatt, never signed up for service with Dynowatt and have never paid Dynowatt. Yet there is a listing from Dynowatt, that they keep verifying on my credit reports. For $1,068.00 from 2011. I guess it's going to be small claims for us.

Leaving soon, not going to renew.

I have been satisfied with Dynawatt until recently. They have been purchased by IGS, and in spite of all the flowery "Welcome to IGS" propaganda, it is not going well. One of their most recent letters states, verbatim: " You will still be able to access your account to pay bills and view your billing history." Well folks, that statement is an outright LIE. I've been trying to pay my bill for a week now and it will not take. I refuse to hand my information over to a CSR in the Philippines, as much as I like the place, I dislike the fact this is apparently a quick take over and exploit operation. But the good news, fortunately, my fixed price plan expires in 33 days and I'm switching elsewhere!

Don't sign up with them, they are not worthy

Been with them before, nice experience, so I came back to them, but something happened to them, they changed tactics, managements, or something, they promise, say one thing and do another now. Went under contract, that's how they get you. Can't wait to get out, should of read the reviews first. Just a warning, read reviews and try another, they're are so many these days.

Easy to sign up, but you're hosed when you leave

I've been with Dynowatt for 2 years but finally decided to switch because the 6 month plan rates kept getting higher and higher and I found a cheaper alternative. I paid my January bill on 1/29...and it was due on 2/14. The amount was $159. I just checked online to make sure the payment was received and posted and noticed they revised my bill to $205.24 and do NOT show the payment as having been received. After checking my bank account I see that they did, in fact, receive the payment since they drafted it out of the account, but I suspect they've gotten the notification that I am switching carriers since my plan expires in 4 days and I have chosen not to renew with them. I haven't had a chance to call them yet because I just realized this today (a Sunday) and their customer service hours are Monday - Friday 8am - 6pm...but I don't even have to sit on hold for an hour or get hung up on 3 or 4 times to know that I think I'm about to get screwed when I can actually call them in the morning. To be sure, my contract expires on 2/23 and I set my new carrier up to start on the same day, so there is no way I'm liable for an early termination fee. I give them 4 light bulbs for getting service set up because it was so easy, but 1 light bulb for the rest because their actions seem shady and suspect to me.

Horrible comming and

Was an on-time paying customer for a year. The next year they raised their rates outside of competition so we switched. We paid our last bill, or at least what we were told was our last bill. Two months later we got a letter from a collection agency. Dynowatt never sent a bill via mail, email, or even a phone call. We were told that since it was all electronic we should have checked our account online but the account had been closed so HOW THE F**K DO I CHECK IT? Do not commit anything to this company. They have a way of getting you in the end if you leave.

Company sucks

Often had only 9 days to pay after receiving bill. There is a separate fee for everything including paying on line or by telephone There is a fee to tell you that you are late and 2 days later a late fee. This company is a rip-off and not recommended to anyone.

Very Dissatisfied!!!

I'm very disgusted with this company's customer service. A representative called me at home, being very polite, of course, to get my business. Of course they did. There came a time when I needed an extension to pay my bill.The person on the phone was rude and I was told that they would have to review my account and call me back. I had been with them a year without any problem. I tried to switch over, but did not, then it was too late. Regretfully, I'm still with them another year. I would not recommend this company to anyone. I can't even pay my bill at the local store where they take utility bills. Thank GOD for my computer.

Caring for Customers - NOT!

I phoned 3 months before our contract was to expire...we had been with Dynowatt for 3 or more years. I asked if we could go ahead and renew early for a lower rate since my husband and I were both out of work..."No, that will cost the monthly penalty times 3". They did email back and say I had the option to apply for assistance...I said my option was PowerToChoose.com and set the thermostat higher. I did both! Look at the ratings here and find out who's won the JD Powers award for Customer Service for the past 2 years...that's the option I chose.

Got Slammed in August with $.26 per kwa

I have been with Dynowatt for nearly 8 years on a variable plan. My electric bills averaged less than $200 per month. Even in the hottest summer months only rarely did the bill exceed $200. In August of 2011, I received a bill for $660. It was shocking that they raised my rate to over $.26 per KWA. I do not recommend Dynawatt!

Never again!!

Everything was great until my plan expired on the warmest month of summer. Dynowatt TRIPLED my rate! When I called, they were rude and took a 'tough luck' attitude.

Buyer BEWARE.
