When problems arise, true value seen.
I was dropped by Breeze energy leaving Texas market and I was switched to provider of last resort (POLR) that I didn't want in less than 12 hours after first notification. UNHAPPY! Decided on First Choice and chose at Power-To-Choose. First billing messed up by TNMP but First choice corrected it promptly. The real test of good customer support is when things go wrong. I was happy with First Choice response and ability to reach and talk to their customer support. Bill corrected, happy again. |

I selected a plan that best suits our needs. Now let's see if they have a similar plan for returning customers. Too many providers bait you and jack the rates up when you try to sign up again. Time will tell. Very pleased so far. |

Great choice of energy
I don't understand how this company is rated a "1.3." I had a misunderstanding regarding my bill but it was clarified and I was credited on my account. My bill is extremely reasonable at $31 month and much better than Austin energy I hear people complain about. Compared to AZ with outrageous fees I can truly say I'm extremely happy with |

Just my opinion
I have been with First Choice for about 7 years , had money problems along the way and never had a problem getting an extension and if you know you are going to be late they wont charge any extra IF you call for extension before due date . I read a lot of reviews complaing about thier rate going up after the introductory rate period ran out..a lot of providers offer a ridiculous rate of around .04 as a way to get you to choose them..it only last a couple of months people so instead of taking that rate for 3 months get a 1 year rate and nobody is going to give you more than 3 months at .04 . First Choice worked with me when I was laid off and was slow paying my bills so I will stick with them as long as I get a good rate from them . I am currently paying .09 and I am happy with it . I always get friendly and helpful people when I call . |

I dislike The Texas electric rate process
Finding a renewal rate in Texas is pure nonsense filled with gimmicks and deceptions. Only thing that matters is the cost of power all of the $$s off between this usage and that is just awful to have to go thru , so many do not and ultimately overpay. First choice was the best rate i could find at that moment without the noise. But cant say it was the lowest because you just run out of time and patience. Good Luck. |

Surprising add on fee?
Signed up through Power Wizard and so far so good except for my first bill showing up with a connection fee of $144? Wonder what this is all about? Never had seen this fee by my prior electric providers!!! A shocker to say the least especially since I always paid my bills by direct bank draft and on time. Love to see what they have to say??? Just be aware that despite a good contract price these add ons will bump your bill up significantly!!!!! A daily and hourly usage chart would be nice since was provided by prior providers!!!! |

HARASSMENT
I am ill, following cancer treatments and while I like the company and pay my bill regularly without fail. I feel I am being harassed and loosing sleep. Beginning Wednesday 8/26/2020 I have received the exact same TEXT over 23+ times. I appreciate them providing guidance on preparing for storms, however I don't understand why I have to receive that information that many times. Then to call in and get asked questions they don't even ask when you have real problems of unconcern just to get the text that ran all night at 3am, 4:25am, etc to Stop is rediculous. Then to continue getting them after calling in and their closed for the day, means I have to vibrate my phone to get rest, when I have elderly parents who could have an emergency is wrong. HELP me please. |

Changed since sold To Direct Energy
I have been with First choice power for 10 years. I have never had any problems with them until recently when I was having a guard light activated. I couldn't really get a straight answer on the cost. At that time the girl was more interested in getting me to renew my contract four months early at a higher rate. Customer service had no idea the cost to activate it. They had me call Oncor and Oncor sent me back to my provider. After being on hold for quite awhile I was finally sent to the commercial department and was giving the cost. An appointment was set up for January 17th for the light to be activated. They came out, cut a huge limb off my tree and left ruts in my yard from the truck. The light never came on. I got a call from them on the 18th stating there was a billing mix up and it would cost a little more. At that time I asked when it would be activated. I was told they should turn it on right away. Still not on. I called again in the 19th and was told 7 to 10 days for activation but I was still getting charged like it was turned on the 17th. I know it's not using electric because it is not activated, but I should not have to pay all the fees until the light is active and has electric running to it. |

I am thankful that this company has been good to me in the past month. I was paying well over $350 and my bill went down to $180. I couldnt be happier because i was able to be at ease and have money left over to start taking out my wife again. Things have been better because of first choice and i would honestly recommend to others. Plus i already helped two relatives about this and they have veen saving money. KEEP DOING WHAT YOURE DOING FIRST CHOICE. Thank you for all that you have done. |

Faithful
I have been a long time user of first choice power this year, my contract was up so I called to renew. Well the agent at the time did not work with me, to get the best possible rate, so here I am stuck with a high energy rate for 24 months. There is a $135 fee to terminate my contract. I would not recommend this utility co to anybody. I am a senior citizen and did not realize what I was getting. This company has always had reasonable rates until now. I cringe every month when my bill comes in. I just wish I understood what the agent was giving me and went with a different provider. Now I am stuck. This is a warning to others to shop around. |

Difficult to deal with
I accidentally disputed my final bill and the credit card company (Citicards) refunded it. I'm not sure if they checked because it shouldn't have been accepted. Afterward First Choice Power wouldn't accept credit card or checking account payments. What they didn't say was they would only accept cash or debit card which was discovered by process of elimination at a bill pay center. |

Been with 1st Choice about 3 years
I first came to this company when moved to this house and needed electricity without huge deposit. So we signed up for prepaid with 1st choice (it was somehow tied to Direct Energy). The process was long but all good. Absolutely loved the rate, got balances daily and the monthly average was just unbeatable. Customer service was excellent although sometimes hard due to language barrier on their part. After a year we were offered a 12 month plan with no deposit so we accepted. Everything went well for about a year, the monthly bill was extremely affordable. When it came time to renew, we were offered a good rate on a month to month plan and so we did that. This is where problems started to appear. My bills literally doubled and even tripled, especially in the summer. I went online to try to find a better rate/plan and ended up signing on to a 12 month plan. It as lowered somewhat but the bills are still much higher every month. I have had a couple of payment plans that they do not update in a timely manner and it has led to saying I broke the agreements even when there were times when I paid installments early and/or completely off. Customer service has gotten terrible and you can call and speak to someone, hang up call back and get someone else and the info you get is completely different. Frustrating! And they can be very borderline rude sometimes and make you feel like you are being unreasonable just by asking a question or are bothering them just by calling. My contract is up in October 2019 and I am starting now to look at other options and will be aggressively shopping for alternatives. I will renew this time only if I find no better option. I am a loyal customer and prefer to stay with a company but when things progressively slide downhill as this experience has, I'm smart enough to know it is time to consider alternatives. Dammit, 1st Choice!!! You were amazing for so long! |

Once your promotional plan expires YOU WILL PAY
I'm new to Dallas so I started a 3 month contract (promotional fixed bill amount rate) first before jumping head first for a 12 month - not knowing how things worked. That was my mistake as the 12 month version was available. After receiving a notice to renew, I expected to continue the same for 12 months but FCP offered me plans that doubled my bill. When I called customer service I was told my plan was no longer available. But then I called back acting as a new customer I was able to select the same promotional rate... at least until I told the (very helpful) sales person that I was already a customer. I was then redirected to customer service to be told again that my promotional plan was no longer available. So I have to now accept a higher bill CONTRACT. Don't renew and pay A EVEN HIGHER RATE for month to month. Or switch to another company. All was asking was to continue my current rate for 12 months. Very unsatisfied with the experience. I would have understood if after 12 months there was no longer a promo rate available to me. But 3 months? Really? |

Switching companies immediately
I have been with first choice a while now and have had a variety of little problems I overlook but tonight/early morning takes the cake. I am a Pay as you go customer and it's a Sunday I have had electricity all day I leave my house around 7pm and come back an hour later and my electricity is off I then get a text that say I need to make a payment so furious that it's 8 something at night when they decide to do this I go make a payment and I know usually it takes up to two hours I wait 4hours and still nothing by then it's midnight I try to call customer service of course it's closed late Sunday night then I report an outage it's currently 2:25 am and still nothing I have work at 6am and I'm 5 months pregnant and since it's so late have no where to go but be stuck in a dark hot house since it is the middle of summer. I am switching companies immediately this is ridiculous. Do Not go with this company. I plan to complain on every social media platform. So if you want to sit in your car at 2 am on a Sunday so you can charge your phone 3 hours before work then this is the company for you. |

$10 a day
I loved this company at first because the service was rapid and cheap! I have the "free weekends" plan, I get daily (seems hourly) text updates and it pings my (our) usage at about $10 or more a day and its highly unlikely that we use that much so I am writing this review mid "new electric provider search"! I'd say just admit to splitting the weekend usage throughout the week day payments and we could understand better why we pay so much yet use so little... |

Signed Up for First Choice, Ended up with Reliant
I signed up for First Choice in September. I never got a welcome email or any other communication from the company. In October, I got the first month's bill through the mail. There was also a note that said that Reliant will become my provider in November. As long as Reliant honors the electricity rates I got with First Choice, I suppose it's OK. We'll see. |

Not honest about offers
I originally signed up for the You got fixed 18 to start on aug31 but I called back to change the start date to sep 1. The agent said everything would start on September 1 but when I call back on Sept 7 another agent said unfortunately it was not switched but it was canceled. So I asked to be enrolled with the same plan which was the you got fixed 18 and the agent asked could I place you on hold while she reaches out to her supervisor for approval. She comes back and said yes we can enroll you into the fixed 18 plan and read all the disclaimers to me and when I logged into my new account it said I had been enrolled into an entire different plan which was "you got this 36-fixed plan" I was so upset that I was still being lied to by this company. My husband called the company back within an hour and canceled because of the lies and lack of service. I then received a $8.95 bill in the mail which was another slap in the face from this company. I paid the bill and I hope to never cross paths with first choice power again |

Will never recommend
When I signed up they tricked me into their surge protection program. I told them no multiple times but they wouldn't finish setting up my account until I said yes. I immediately followed their directions for cancelling the surge protection by sending an email which was never responded to. 2 years later I moved and canceled my service having never managing to cancel it. I was charged twice for the surge protection on my final bill, for the current month and for the month after. I moved the first week of May and I was charged for May and June. They are crooked and do not care about their customers. I will never recommend this company |

Customer Service is NOT in the U.S.
I called the number listed on the Electricity Facts Label regarding the "special charge from American Electric Power - Texas Central that is not included in the total average price for electric service..........you may contact us at 1-866-469-2464 for more information regarding the price and applicability of the charge." The person was not in the U.S. (yes, I asked), was reading from a script, and had no idea what I was asking. Yet the company is in Houston? Really?? I will be doing business with a United States company!! |

Incompetent
I've lived at my current address for about 2 years and within that time they allowed someone else to sign up with my address THREE TIMES!!! How can that be allowed when you should clearly be able to see that that address already has service under a different name?? Why not attempt to confirm that address is vacant instead having me pay for my own power AND SOMEONE ELSE'S?? HOW DO YOU MESS THAT UP THREE TIMES?! And customer service never has a reason why they just allow it. I mean getting cable is much harder than just giving them any address and they have y'know SECURITY PROTOCOLS |

Scam!!!!
This company charges you late fees 2 days after your bill is due and they also charge you $29.95 4 days later if you havent paid your bill. I paid my bill 4 days after the due date. I call them to find out why did I have disconnect charges and why is my bill so expensive. I asked if we have a grace period after the due date before late charges occur and no one could answer my question. I asked that they mail me the contract because I need in writing how this billing works. This isnt right and as far as the disconnect fee goes, my lights have never been turn off!!! This company is a joke and I will never refer anyone to them!!!!!!!! They are trying to get rich off of people. I dont care if you have no other electricity company to choose from, DO NOT USE FIRST CHOICE POWER!!!! To prove how shady they are, you cant submit your review without giving them stars!!! If I could give negative stars I would |
