Our Analysis of Pulse Power

Everything great customer service top notch! Good rates! The problem Im having issues with is paying my bill!!! 2 months Ive tried automatic payments! And 2 months Ive gotten disconnection notices dont know what the problem is!!! So I always have to call and pay the payment!!!

good, just signed up for this company

Good

I signed up for this on 6/29 and on 7/27 I got a bill for a whopping $132 at 15.4 kwh and not the 5.9cent KWH. Which is .10 cents per KWH higher than my previous provider TXU. I thought they charged the highest rate in Austin TX.

Pulse Power just did a classic switch and bait, but it is also deceptive, because they bait you with 5.9 cent and a teeny-tiny clause "average price per kwh for 1000 kwh usage". I totally overlooked that, because I never in 65 years, based price on usage. I am 65 and the clause is deliberatlly too small and easily overlooked. It is like "Hey, 5.9cent!" and then whispering under your breath "if kwh is over 1000 usage,".

What Luis the rep (great customer service) on the phone explained to me on 7/28/20, is that if I don't hit >= 1,000 kwh, then I am billed the highest rate 15.4. I only get the 5.9 cent rate if I GO OVER/EQUAL to 1000 kwh. Now I am contracted to them for a year.

BUYER BEWARE. They grab you as the lowest rate, and in teeny-tiny print it reads 5.9 cent "average price per kwh for 1000 kwh usage".

I am totally screwed.

I was misled about the price. I am paying $.12/kWh . vs $.08/kWh. Very upsetting. I feel I was dupe

New customer. Went to registration page on line and correct information rejected multiple times. Customer service rep talked so slow and was so dense she sounded high. Could barely hear for chatter in background. She didn't want to address whether their information they had was correct because any error was because I "made an entry error", although I had cut and pasted their information(!) from the bill. After several minutes of her talking about 6 words per minute we found, yes, they had put the wrong zip code in so I couldn't register with the correct information. No apology; no interest in fixing. Customer service that can only be described as "stupid".

I was told that anything after the 1000kw it would be 6.3 per kw. Lies!!! The real deal is the 1st 1000kw is 6.3kw every kw after that is 12.3 per kw and my bill is more than what I was paying to TXU. I would have never done this deal if I new the real deal.

DO NOT SWITCH TO PULSE POWER!! Received confirmation the electric would be on today. Previous company turned power off today and so when the power went off I called in at 10:46 a.m. and was told it should be on shortly. I was told my info had been submitted to oncor and they just needed to turn it on. I ran errands and returned to no electric still at 2. Called oncor and they stated they did not have an order. I called pulse power and found out they closed my account for fraud WITHOUT ANY NOTICE. They told me to email a copy of my Id and lease. I did that and have called every hour since, STILL NO POWER. I have explained my situation over and over, I have spoken to numerous supervisors and all state they are just waiting on a reply. The last individual I spoke with told me that all the supervisors had left for the day and nothing further had been done with my account since I sent the documents. She stated everyone was clocking out and leaving so no supervisor was available to speak with me. She informed me that customer service is outsourced to a call center and they dont have any way to contact the other departments. She apologized for the unconvinced but nothing can be done. IT IS BELOW FREEZING AND MY DAUGHTER AND I ARE LEFT WITHOUT POWER.
Update: called this morning and was told they still do not have a response but it should be sometime today. We have now been without power for 24 hrs.

I have been with pulse energy for 6 months after switching from Gexa and it was the biggest mistake . Every time I call to the customer service line , its always 10 min plus hold time. They never will give you a payment extension . The weekly consumption report they promise to provide you via email only comes now and then never consistent . I pulse energy poor in customer service , customer satisfaction and poor flexibility in payment arrangements.

Liked their rates, but did some research and saw MANY negative reviews. Decided to stay with my current provider. Cancelled with-in the legal limit. Several months later contacted by a collection agency.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!

This Company needs to get it together. I thought I would be getting better rates than Reliant. I wish I never changed providers. Their online usage tracking is meaningless and cryptic. I never get my weekly usage e-mails as promised. It is like they don't want you to take advantage of the discount for using 1000kwhs. When I transferred my electric, I was told their was no charge. I was sent a bill for 833 dollars. When I called to clear up the matter, I was put on hold for an hour. No apology was forth- coming for their mistake. I am very dissatisfied with this company but signed a lengthy contract with a huge cancellation fee. Regrets!

This place is horrible, has THE WORST customer service reps, and they have ZERO flexibility with payment arrangements.
Every representative I have spoken to has the worst attitude, and treat you like dirt... after waiting AN HOUR to speak to someone. Go with a bigger, more reputable company, even if the rates are higher... you'll save yourself the headache.

I attempted to purchase a new contract with Pulse Power.

Because I am over 65 and have paid my bills regularly, I was eligible to have a deposit waived.

I provided them the information six days ago.Pulse Power said they would get back to me within 48 hours.

They got back to me in six days.

Because my previous contract expired yesterday, yesterday I purchased from another supplier.

Today Pulse Power told me I was their customer.

I called Pulse Power and was told that the only way I could cancel was online. I canceled online.

Later in the day I got another email from Pulse Power that said I was their customer. I again canceled online.

The other supplier that I purchased from yesterday gave me a notice tonight that my electricity would be cut off because I had a different supplier!



Pulse Power Failed to get back with me In the promised time.

This resulted in my having to make a purchase from another supplier.

Now I may have my electricity cut off because of all of these changes.

Pulse Power Should not be allowed to continue to provide services if they are dishonest about their response time.

This has caused me great difficulty.It may also result in a loss of electric service. This is through no fault of mine!

I have has continual billing problems. I have 2 houses with them and they applied payments to the wrong address. Never again!

I made a big mistake getting electric with Pulse power they cheat on you ,,the kWh is not what I choose, and then you pay your bill and after few weeks they send you a pink bill saying that you haven't pay your bill,,,when you pay your bill they dont give you no confirmation number like other electric company now I have to go to my bank and get all my information payments I made to them ,,sooner I get this information I'm going to cancel the contract and report them to public utility Commission

If I could give this company NO STARS or less that is what I would have done. Worst customer service EVER! I was laid off last Friday Feb.28,2020, and called to see if they could assist me in my hardship.WHAT A JOKE!! After being transferred many times over, put on an endless hold each time, transferred to an answering machine, got disconnected and in between spoke to several representatives that couldn't help me, they offered to waive my early termination fees as long as I signed up for another long term plan at a fixed rate and was then told that I would be better off with the current rate. HA!! I was also told that if I couldn't make one of my payments they would accept 50% and carry the rest in installments. What kind of assistance is that!? it just means that the bills would keep getting inflated with each month and I would end up getting my lights cut off in any case. Hmmmm What a great way to take care of your customers, don't you think? I don't even know if I will be in the same home. Which in that case they would be more than happy to move with me. I told the representative that I would probably end up selling my home and moving in with one of my kids,. That means, so here we go again with the early termination fees. I hope that those reading this review will think many times over before making the mistake, that I did, to sign up for their services. Life is unpredictable. If Pulse Power gets to read this review, try helping your customers with true Customer SUPPORT when they need you the most instead of getting a bad review that prospective customers will read and not sign up for your services, HENCE losing customers. I hope this helps those thinking about signing up with Pulse Power. If I knew then what I know now, I'd run the other way.

Please dont get Pulse Power
They cheat,,they said I didn't pay a bill and I did the good thing I had a proof I did I pay with a personal check and my bank give me a proof I did and the name of their bank who collect my money from my personal check ,,i tried to explain to customer service didn't want to listing to me I report them to Public utility Commission of Texas I hope they help me I have proof I pay my bill,,,I switch to another provider,,,please dont make same mistake I did

My poor experience can be found on the BBB or Public Utility Commission of Texas.

I must start off my saying if you are thinking about using this provider DONT!!!! RUN for the hills, this has been the worst provider Ive had in regards to any consumer goods Ive received. Ive only been with this company since Mar 3 of this YEAR, Ive still have yet to recieve a bill and when I called in to inquire I was advised by a rep that didnt seem knowledgeable AT ALL, that my meter had not been read so a bill had not generated for my service address. Not even 24hrs later my service was disconnected . I called in to see why and I was disconnected on twice, talked over multiple times, all to be xfrred to a supervisor who stated my services were disconnected due to fraud, at this point Im so lost as to what fraud of electricity even is that I laugh ( in my mind this has to be a joke) especially since I had spoken to them not even 24hrs before. The supervisor went on to tell me they had called and spoke with in the 24th from there enrollment department and I hung up on them. ALL OF WHICH IS A COMPLETE LIE, and if this was the case why not inquire about an questions youll had when I talked to the rep the day before, Ive sent them the information they requested for this SO CALLED FRAUD, but only in attempt to get out of this BS contract so Im not assessed their termination fee. THIS COMPANY OS NOT WORTH THE HEADACHE!!!! Their customer service is the worst and its just not a COMPANY YOU FEEL GOOD GIVING YOUR MONEY TO , ITS A HUGHHHHH NO FOR ME!

just now
The worst company ever, I signed up & had power started on 3/06/2020 my 1st bill wasnt due till 4-3-2020. How about these MF disconnect my power on 3/26/2020 because they needed to verify my identity. Didnt u run my credit on 3/6/2020 & had 20 more days to check, verify & mail any necessary documents. But u choose to turn my power off in the middle of this pandemic where we are ordered to stay home. You didnt even turn my power off early in the day, it was past business hours & I couldnt have gotten it turn back on the same day not matter what. I had to leave my home with my kids during this pandemic crisis. People listen to me, this company is heartless, they dont give a damn. They will disconnect u with no warning. Stay away, Ive secured an attorney.

When I got them the rate was suppose to be 7.2 when bill came it was 17.1 so I drop them and when with another company. The highest bill I got from them was $79 now since I left them they send me a bill for $345 . The company a Fraud dont business with them. I wish I had read the review for Pulse Power before I got them. From,Clarence Spencer.

I would recommend everyone to STAY AWAY from Pulse Power. I signed without reading reviews. They never activated my account. 6 weeks into contract I started calling, texting and emailing. Never received response. I switched to another carrier, PP called that day. End result, PP has billed me over $1000 for service they never rendered. I have reported them to Public Utility Commission. Stay away from Pulse Power.
It took over 1/2 hour on hold to get customer service.

I reported you guys to the public utility commission of texas. You guys turned off my power, and then you guys took the whole payment n I was suppose 2 get credit back on my credit card , n now you guys dont want to put it back on, I have a heart problem need electricity.

I received my bill, wrote a check and paid it on time, confirmed that my bank posted that payment by the due date and subsequently received a disconnection notice and late payment charge. Subsequently, my online account reflected that my payment was received and applied on the due date.

This company is the worst I have ever been with. If you pay your bill online be prepared to wait 16 days until the receive it. And good luck trying to pay over the phone there is a glitch that doesnt allow you to do that either. You cant even talk to anyone who knows what they are doing. We have been with them unfortunately almost a year. Our contract is almost up and will be running so far away from this company. They even shut your power off during a crisis and cant tell you what your bill even is. I am so tired of this company and their poor customer service. They offer zero help and we have never been late or not paid a bill until this time when the billing got lost! So we paid them twice and they still cut us off. Run away if you see this company also known as power next!

Poor customer service poor bill management

My experience has been very negative. I recommend looking elsewhere. I know I wish I did.

When I signed up I told him I only needed electricity for a month as I was visiting friends house. They told me to simply tell them I moved out and there would be no early termination fee. I was charged $220 termination fee for three weeks of usage. With other electric companies I was able to tell them my forwarding address and that was enough. Pulse power requires Difficult to provide Documentation for move out before they will return the early termination fee. And even after providing that it took me nine hours and threats to Report them to the AEP before they finally removed the ETF

the worst power company experience ever! They are not listed by my bank, which forced me to set up on-line account with them. The on-line interface doesn't work, and hasn't been able to take a payment. This means I wait on the phone to pay by debit card, as I don't write checks anymore.

Look electricity is a deregulated commodity in TX. You succeed with customer experience and rates. If yo don't have both, you're not worth the time. Cancelling service!

Cant get through the phone line and my account didnt show up in the portal. They disconnected my power twice during the pandemic even though my account showed I owed a zero balance and could not get threw to a service representative for weeks. They refuse to shut off my power even though I paid 341 in May, only owe 171 and dont live at that address because I lost my home. They lied on my BBB complaint and said I refused contact when theyd been trying to call three days. They called one and when I called back, I was told I had to wait again for that department to call me back anytime within the next couple days!

So to start my experience, my apartment gave me the wrong apartment number for my services when I contact pulse power to update the correct information for where my services should be they switched services to the correct places. Come to find out the left the other service on , so charged me for 2 diff apartment numbers. I called to have that corrected with the correct information however come to find out the representative input the wrong address. After getting that correct about a month later I receive and email that my power is being disconnected and I owe $597 for earlier termination fee. I never cancelled my services or chose to leave the company. The person I spoke with said it would be handled by next bill date and I just need to make my regular payment. Well when the bill come it still reflects $597 and I call to find out. Representative doesnt know why at first, which accounts should be notated of conversation. Finally explain to him the issue, he states it will be corrected but I have to pay $197 to get my service back on for monthly payment and reinstatement fee. I explain i shouldnt have to pay that since i didnt cancel in the first place. I request to speak with a supervisor however he hangs up the call. I call back with the same issue, I explain what happen, he says it will be fixed and check next bill fast forward my power just went out, I call to find out and again they say its cause I have terminated my services. I explain at this point I havent termed my services, in error you guys termed my services. He proceeds to tell me that I have to still pay the $597. So I ask for a supervisor by the name of Andrew. I explained the situation again. He proceeds to tell me to send in proof of residency and advised 24-48 hrs to handle and that I have to enroll again, run my credit again and take time by sitting on hold with the customer support that's keeps repeating I have 16minutes to wait and it's already been 30 minutes. Then they hung up the phone again.

I signed up for 3 year service. Several weeks into program I am getting huge bills from previous supplier. I called Pulse Power for clarification. No response other than blaming Centerpoint. Check with Centerpoint, was quick to show me problem lies with Pulse Power. Continued to call Pulse Power, was promised a call back several times. Every call was 30 minute wait time. Never received call back. Sent text and emails trying to clarify. No response. Paid previous supplier $200 to not get disconnected from power. Continue trying to get information from Pulse Power, no response. Finally out of desperation signed with another supplier.
Next day finally got a call from Pulse Power, because they had got cancellation. They told me I could not discontinue service. Explained I could not work with company that ignored NEW customer.
Now they are billing me almost $1K in cancellation fees. I will probably have to pay. Public Utility Commission sided with Pulse Power.
These people treat you like something on bottom of their shoe. Customer Service is foreign to this company.
My advice is STAY AWAY from PULSE POWER.

I set up a plan and received an email confirmation. I was told everything would be taken care of. A month goes by and I received a bill from my previous provider. The rate was insanely high because I was no longer under contract. I called Pulse to ask what happened. I spent half a day, literally trying to connect with someone. When I finally did, they said they put a request through to ONCOR and it was rejected. I asked why I was not contacted and they had no response. So an entire month went by and I thought I had new service and no one bothered to contact me. They said it was my problem and I had to call the power company. I actually did call ONCOR and they said Pulse Power never made a request for my address! The level of ineptitude here is appalling. The customer service is useless. Please do yourself a favor and find any other company, anything will be better than this!

I paid $300 on my bill of $463, and deferred the $163. B
The next day, Pulse shut off my electricity. PUC told me that should never been done. Now they are hemming and hawing. They tried to call me on my home phone yesterday that was attached to my electricity. Duh.

Customer service for this company is a complete joke. Most of the time you'll wait a hour and a half for the call to be disconnected or it'll say your next in line for a hour. Don't even attempt to speak to a manager it's nearly impossible! You may wait a hour before your transferred to a voicemail that says it's after hours at 10 a.m. I've been waiting for a manager to call me back for 3 days. I've sent countless emails it's ridiculous! When you do get a customer rep look forward to receiving incorrect information. The deferment plan is a joke they don't care about there customers. So go to reliant or even constellation could be a better option. This energy company is fairly new and they still have a lot of work to do as far as customer service, operations and company policies are concerned.

they will disconnect services after 2 weeks of bill due date no matter the amount.

EFL clearly states @2000 kWh at $0.092. It also clearly states that for "free" usage, I will be still charged TDU fees. As we have "free" hours, the EFL clearly states that the $0.092 rate was based on 40% usage being "free". Upon receiving 1st bill, I noticed that the average bill was at $0.106 per kWh and I am well above 2000 kWh; however, I fall into the 60/40 ratio. When speaking to the rep, he got to the $0.106 per kWh much like me. Then he came back and said to get to the $0.092 rate, Pulse assumes that I am not being charged anything during the free hours even though the EFL clearly states I will be charged. I did tell the rep that he sounded very slim shady. He then offered to transfer me to a manager who may be able to get a new rate. After being on hold another 30 minutes, I hung up. My total time on the phone was 2 hours. My guess there are many Pulse customers being charged more than the reported EFL.

This company a ripoff!! DONT PUT ANY INFO IN THE WILL SIGN YOU UP AND CHARGE YOU $300.00 TO CANCEL!! DON"T GIVE THEM ANY INFO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My misfortune started day I signed with Pulse Power. The customer service never returned my calls for help as promised. Every time I called back, minimum 30 minute wait. Problem is they could not verify my account. Pulse power never returned my call until day after I signed with another company. My wish is a grade without any star for this company. I reported them to energy commission.
My advise is stay away from this company.

I switched to PulsePower in May 2020, to the Texas Saver 12 plan (5.9 cents per kwh) at 1000 kwh. Received the first bill, and it was 11.9 cents per kwh. There is no indication on their web site, OR, any email communication received from them noting the rate I signed up for.

Their comment was a hard "you must have signed up for 11.9 cents per kwh. Who in their right freaking mind would sign up for that if the advertised price is less than 9 cents. This company is really pissed me off and appears to have done a bait & switch. I am looking for another company and will break the damn contract when I find one.

My daughter was killed in a motorcycle accident. She had Pulse Power on 1-yr contract, had to fight, and talk to several people to get early termination fee waived. Had relinquished apartment, sent in written in timely way to shut off electricity, according to their own instruction, but still had to pay for 9 extra days because they were slow to do it. Don't use this company.

I paid all my bills on time and they shut off my electricity. I have kids ranging from 4-19yrs of age and an elderly mother with dementia living in my home. After I talked to them on the phone and somehow paid the wrong account and crediting my account back, they wont tell me when they will turn my electric back on when it is 91 outside and my kids and mother are without air. Its been hours since I talked to them and still no electricity. I will be switching providers for sure

They are cheating, do not believe the plan price you see online, you will be chocked with the first bill that they charge you double the price. Customer service also is the worst.
Look at the company rate of review is only 2.3

Do NOT sign up with this Company. I switched because of the rate back in May, Their costomer service is usless. Todai I have called a total of 4 times only to be put on hold and hung up on. I was suppose to be put on Levalized billing back in June, I recieved an email saying I was approved. I Calleed again on 6/16 ans they created a case number. said I would get a call in 2-3 days Nothing.
7/28 same thing only I spoke to a Manager, Created another case # and Same BS.
8/5 samething. Today 8/10 I have been trying to get this resolved and have had a total now of 4 Different calls because they keep transfering me to a manager line where I would wait only to be hung up on.
TXU or Veterans Energy ae The BEST!!!!

Had to obtain new credit card # due to fraud issue. Notified company of new # on 7/14. On 8/10/24 got an email, "Final Notice", contacted company. Told it takes several cycles for information to change. Transferred to billing to pay bill. Tried to pay on line but both 1 time pay and auto pay checked. Did not want to be billed twice. Waited 30 minutes for customer care. Not surprised that they are "experiencing longer than normal weight times", their customer care is terrible.

I have tried resolving a billing issue for over two weeks. After sitting on hold for 1.5 hours I finally spoke with a supervisor. After our conversation I was told she would call me back within 24 hours after she was able to review my file. A week later I never heard from her. I then sent an email and received an automated response three days later stating someone would contact me within 48 hours. Still nothing. Do yourself a favor and go anywhere else for service.

in 10 years of average electric bills from other providers I have never ever had bills consistently from $150 to $200 over $300 us. Pulse consistently went over these. till the final bill hit almost $800. from the other complaints I see maybe it was in the fine print I did not understand. each month our usage remained the same as in previous years, yet each month the bills each went higher.

I pay my utility bills on time. I processed pmt on 07/02/20 from my bank/they inturn paid on 07/09 (ACH), it was due 07/10. I thought all was fine! On 7/16, I get a disconnect notice. I call Pulse Power, after waiting for a very long time, a Customer service person comes on and "checks" and reminds me that it takes 10-14 days for payment to get to them. I repeated that my bank had paid. Pulse Power repeated it takes 10-14 days. I asked who has my money then? The bank said they already paid. Then on 7/23 we get disconnected. I called Pulse Power again, waited a long time and was reminded they didn't have my payment. I was fuming by then! I again paid the same bill from my credit card to get electricity, being summer temperatures get from 90-110F. Then bank payment got to them they charge me a late fee, disconnection fee and a reconnection fee. Oh, and nothing done by Utility Commission when I reported this.....I changed companies.....now they want an early termination fee of $640.00 ($20 per every month of contract breaching)....I was quoted $125.00 by phone......Apparently, I didn't "hear" the fine print! Stay away from this company.....it's a ripoff!

I am severely disappointed with Pulse Power and how I was billed for my first bill. I was to receive a $95 discount when I go over 1000 kw/h which would effectively lower my rate to 6.1 cents per kw/h up to 2000 kw/h. They billed me for 15 days and I had only used 724 kw/h thus not letting me receive the discount. So essentially, I am being charged roughly the same amount for two weeks of service as I normally would for a full month of service.

Customer Service was unable to help me and seemed to not care. Had I known that I would be charged in this manner, I would have never signed up with them. Also because I signed a year contract, I believe they will do this again for the last two weeks of my contract. This seems to me a very unfair business practice, and the fact that would not work with me makes me really upset, and I feel scammed.

Do yourself a favor and seek out a plan with another provider.

Its a scam, in my opinion. They offer a low rate if over a 1000 kWh. Im always over 1000, but when the billing cycle is cut short from 32 days to 16, I, of course, didnt meet it. I understand the electric provider schedules the meter readings; however, it is only right and fair if Im only a new customer for 16 days out of the 32, they would adjust or prorate accordingly what the required usage would be. However, when I tried to understand why they will not do this, it is because its not their business model. Wow, is all I can say about their rates and customer service. $150 for two weeks and kWh Used under 850. Customer service is not good either, they are obviously reading from a script. And the contract does not state anything that they will not adjust the bill of billing cycle cut short.

I have never ever been treated so poorly. The manager refused to transfer my call so I could speak to another person. REFUSED. And then said she could not help me she was done talking to me AND HUNG UP ON ME

My contract was expiring with another company so I decided to shop around. I was concerned about my budget because my son was in college and my husband was recovery from a surgery. I found pulse power online and I signed up for their fixed rate plan. I didn't pay that much attention to the billing the first few months but I discovered that I was being charged double. I tried to talk with customer service about switching plans and they said they couldn't help me. I wrote an email to their operations department and they said that they couldn't help me. My advise is "do not waste your time with this company" they will not help you when you need real customer service.

Well i recently swithced to Pulse Power from another provider, apparently this was a huge mistake because for a few months everything went okay, i mean they send out weekly usage reports (which is nice) then last Friday in my E-mail was a note from Pulse Power that my Sept. bill was available for me to view, well my August bill was 222.37 @ a reading of 991.36 now all during the month everything was fine up to that point and the bill that i am looking at right now is 167,615.09 @ a reading of 901510.00 this is totally wrong, i should never have been billed for that amount it is 909.36 times greater than my August bill it would take me 82.6 years to use that much energy, i can't wait to get rid of Pulse Power!

my power I had a contract with Pulse Power. They were supposed to pay my bill from my bank account. They did not send me a bill untill it was deliquint and they shut my power off. They said I had a returned check which I have never had. I have $18000 dollars in my bank account. My advise to you is look for another power company. I just switched to Reliant.

I signed up online without any problem. I added them as a payee to my online bill pay after I got my account number. When the first bill arrived I scheduled the payment early. I got a disconnect notice, called them with my confirmation information from my bank and after having to press 1 for English I got an associate who couldn't. They had no information about where my money is, where absolutely no help in finding out what happened and offered no resolution to a new customer. don't use this company. The customer service is terrible and I can't trust them with my money to do business with them.

Horrible customer service and equally horrible plans

Worst provider I have ever dealt with. They are deceiving in their marketing practices and use bait and switch tactics to get you to sign a contract. We are senior citizens staying home due to the covid. Just had power shutoff for a $23 bill that was paid 5 days before. First time in my life I have had power cutoff. Then they charged me another $25 for a disconnect fee. (remember they were paid 5 days earlier.) Stay far away from them at all cost.

Responding to Pulse Power ...You people are such liars. How couLd I have made a payment on the wrong account? I have only 1 account. Also, I received a reminder in the mail. It said if payment has been made disregard this notice. As I stated payment was made so I disregarded. Your company did NOT reach out to me by phone or email. Explain why you kept billing me every 10 days or so. Unreal that your response is just as deceptive as your policies. Stay far away from this company. Read all the other reviews that have had the same issues.

UPDATE: 7/7/20 Today they cut my power again. No balance due. When I called they told me a a request to turn power on was already in the system before I even called.

UPDATE 9/21/2020 Just received a letter from collection agency which includes the early termination fee again. I have it in writing and voicemails from managers stating I will NOT be charged an early termination fee. This is a common practice with Pulse Power. I WILL be reporting them again to the PUC.

UPDATE 11/20/2020 UPDATE Just received another letter from a collection agency stating that I owe $30 to Pulse Power. Claims they have have reported it to credit agencies. Balance was paid in full 9/20. Here we go again. I was warned this is another tactic used by Pulse Power for going to another provider.

My bill has been high with this company since I signed up with them. Last month, I turned off the Ac unit, Incase it was the reason why we had high electric yet bill came to 152. I am very disappointed at this company. I feel like I have been ripped off my hard earned paycheck.

DO NOT EVER USE THIS COMPANY!!! Lies and deceptions is the m.o. of this company! Gladly switching to a better company!!!

I signed up through a 3rd party website, with an advertised rate of 6.7/kWh. When I got my first bill, I was being charged more than 16/kWh. I called customer service and found out that there was hidden stipulations that if I didn't use at least 1,000 kW, I would be charged an extra $95 per billing period, resulting in a much higher rate than the one I was quoted. They get around this but calling it a "discount". It's fraudulent, plain and simple. I immediately canceled and was charge another $125 cancellation fee, totaling over $300 for one month of service at less than 900 kWh of usage.
By the way, I filed a complaint with the BBB and Pulse Power does not deny any of these facts. They proudly restated everything I stated as if it made complete sense to practice business this way.

I wanted to make a change to my plan before it started. I was told I cant make a change till my service has started. Then the day my services were active I was told I cant make any changes to my plan. I was told fat lie. I do not recommend this company to anyone.

Worst experience I have ever had with an electricity provider. My bill was double the highest amount I have ever paid, and they rudely explained that this was due to an increase in charges from TDU -- twice. I can only determine that the TDU charge was an additional charge that other electricity providers include in their monthly usage rate. Their "transparent" charges were not transparent.
I went ahead and paid the $125 to get out of the contract early because with their rates that was a bargain, but they never processed my final bill via ACH, and I never received a late notice. I contacted customer service again, and they told me my account was paid in full, and I should check with my bank to find out why I wasn't debited.
My bank showed no activity. Turns out they billed a non-existent account, which they didn't figure out until I contacted them AGAIN to get it cleared up. "We recommend you pay by credit card." In the meantime, they removed the auto-draft discount. I still haven't received a final bill, just the ACH notice... but I went ahead and proactively made payment with late fees and no auto-pay discount.

All told, I paid over $1000 for 6 weeks of electricity service. Brilliant.

So I switched to Pulse Power and my first bill was great. 2nd bill went up and after that they kept getting higher. So my power was cut off and I tried to call them and couldn't get into my account because I misplaced my info. I felt I had no choice but to switch providers. After I switched providers I found my information and was able to log into my account to review. I could not see my final bill and so I decided to wait for my final bill from Pulse so that I could go in and make arrangements since I knew there would be a cancellation fee attached to it. They went in and pulled money out of my account without my authorization. I called them today 1/6/21 and they said that I requested AUTO PAY to be put in place through the portal which I know I did not request that because I have never ever done AUTO PAY. It makes me wonder if there is a default when you go in to review your account that will set it up automatically when you review or look at your account. I will never recommend Pulse to anyone as they are too expensive and this last reason. I have not logged into my account since Mid December .. They say I authorized this auto pay payment on 1/6/21

Read this one...
I was with my old company 4 years at 6.3 per kWh, but the hidden fees were too much. I switched to Pulse Power at the end of October for the Texas Saver 12 plan (12 months 6.3 per kWh no hidden charges). They put me on the wrong plan. I asked to be on the correct plan that I agreed too, they stated I should be better on the one I was on and try it for another cycle, if I did not like it I could change it back, per them I was under a 90 day period of time. After the second billing cycle I knew I wanted the other plan. Per our verbal agreement of contract for the Texas Saver plan; I was told no, you already switched plans. The only plan I switch as coming to Pulse Power. I canceled my service as per the Texas Saver plan it would $125.00 to cancel they charged me $340.00. In fact, they charged me $461.61 for two days of service and to cancel my plan... They mislead, out right lied, then took me.

From November at 1900kWh to December (Mild month windows opened almost every day) and they top off at 3167 kWh....RIP OFF THEM AND TEXAS NEW MEXICO POWER, BEWARE OF TNP! THEY SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN AND ONCOR IN ALL OF TEXAS!!!

The worst

the customer service never solved a single problem

Signed a 3 year contract with Pulse Power. Called the company three times to verify the rate they were quoting. Totally mislead. I wish I recorded the phone call. The quoted rate is true if you use exactly 1000 kw per month. I do not like false advertisement. Will not renew or recommend a company that is deceitful to consumers.

Bad experience

Yes, we were behind. But after I was released from the hospital, a covid survivor, I had a disconnection notice. I called Pulse to make a partial payment. They would not accept a partial payment (past due $356, payment to be made $280, balance due $76). This was absurd.

I just switched to Pulse Power. I was billed for about two weeks on the first bill that put me in the 500-999 KWH bracket (.15 / KWH). The change over date will make a difference in your first bill. Beware that if you switch providers close to the beginning of their billing cycle you will have to pay a higher rate. Not being able to have an adjusted billing to me is not customer friendly. I would have accepted being billed for a 45 day period in lieu of the 2 week period which thru me into a higher rate category. After calling customer service they refused to adjust the first months bill. This is the worst company that I have dealt with since de-regulation took place. I will gladly pay their cancellation fee to get a competitive rate from another company that I feel will be much more customer oriented.
