I originally came to this website to read reviews about potential companies, because I was looking to lower my bill. I was really shocked with all the negative reviews because I've had an overall good experience with TXU. I've been with the company for over 5 years and I'm only looking to switch, because my bill seems to have increased quite a bit over the years. I noticed that before I was paying a much lower price whereas now my bill stays over 100+ a month even when I'm not using it as much. I think it's just one of those situation where I may need to switch, since most companies give new customers the better rate to win their business, but then forget to reward their loyal customers with those rates to keep their business. However, rate increases and all, TXU has been great and I really hate that I have to switch just to get a lower rate since I'll be a new customer, when I would rather just stay with TXU and be a loyal customer. I would definitely recommend TXU to someone!

TXU has excellent customer service when you call, but has scarily aggressive billing tactics. Twice I've paid one day after the bill was due and TWICE have received cut-off notices. My previous provider was a municipal utility, which was superlative and for which I used autopsy. I won't use autopay with non-municipal companies because of the rapacious actions these energy companies took during the February freeze. Like I said, I'm dumping TXU.

My bill has been a low $170 all summer and I got a bill in January for $243???? I spoke with customer service and ask why was the bill so high. I am on free nights. I was told that I was charged an additional fee because they sent a disconnect notice?? This is a joke! I can understand charging for an actual disconnect, even though, all they have to do is hit one key on their computer terminal to reconnect but why charge for sending me a notice? And why change $50-$60 ??

I made a complaint on this web site back in November 2013 about TXU Energy Free Nights program. I am a solar customer providing energy to the grid in daylight hours. I was being charged for both the energy I consumed in the daylight hours and the energy I delivered back to the grid. I could not get satisfaction from TXU so I complained to the PUC. I sent smartmetertexas.com data to illustrate my issue to the PUC. Smartmetertexas.com data is the actual TDU data from all Texas residents with smart meters. TXU has corrected my bills finally effective 12/24/13. Merry Christmas to me! Interestingly enough the Free Nights program has been canceled as of today 1/8/2014.I suspect I had something to do with that. I think there was something very wrong with the billing on the Free Nights program. Anyway, I analyzed my own data, won my case, and would love to analyze yours too! Contact me at lucihundley@yahoo.com if you would like me to analyze your data for you. TXU will correct it if you have been improperly billed. But you must have data. If you don't know how to get it and analyze it I can do it for you "Feeling" like your bill is too high is not good enough. Data is needed! And I can get it for you! TXU is NOT using TDU data to bill you for Free Nights. They are using algorithms and percentages. But the Electricity Facts Label says they will use the ACTUAL TDU data. You will win your case if you send TXU the real data. And I can get it for you!

I have an office in 75150, because it is zoned in an industrial area, I have a commercial account. And because I travel for work, it's really inconvenient to come back to a dark office. I've been a TXU customer for about year and I HATE the fact that customers are set up to FAIL (e.g. autopay cannot be easily setup, certain terms have to be met. Disconnection notices are sent via SNAIL MAIL when my email address is on file) I'm tired of a company that does NOT listen nor care to help. I cannot wait to LEAVE.

Folks I want to share how being lazy has cost me money, always put off shopping energy providers until I had another $600.00 electric bill (extra usage) due to my mother-in-law living her last days out with us (4 months, only thing I can justify a large bill with, and really nothing changed). I finally listened to my nephew and connected with Energy Ogre, I've had 2 full months with them and my bills have been $130.00 and $126.00, which just makes me sick for not looking into this sooner. A TXU Rep called to see what it would take to win us back and once I said we were now with Energy Ogre she said Thank You very much and hung up. SHOP ENERGY OGRE. I believe in Capitalism and I assure you TXU is capitalizing off the lazy folks like me. Shame on me for not looking into this years ago.

If you call customer service when there is a power outage, expect to be talked to condescendingly then put on hold until you finally decide to hang up.


Weve had TXU for almost six months now and have lost power at least four times for multiple hours at a time.
Locked into a 12 month contract but as soon as that is up, were ditching this company for somewhere else.
In a state where customers can CHOOSE their electricity company, youd think they would actually care about how they treat their customers.

The service was honestly fine when I was using it. However, I called and informed them I was going to be moving and instead of scheduling the service to be disconnected and the "Going to be Disconnected" issue on the website they kept my service going stating I specifically had to call and have the service disconnected! Be careful and look at more places! This one is just a trap in the end waiting to scam you out of as much money as they can get! Not to mention their customer service sounded like they were in India and I could only understand half of what was being said! Would not recommend!

Called in to renew my TXU Plan because my current plan was expiring 12/2/2020.. Spoke with customer service rep at 5:38pm. He told me about the Precise Saver 24 Plan. But I was trying to see the difference between the plan I have now and the Plan he was speaking of. The customer service rep was acting as if I was getting on his nerves with my questions, like he did not want to be bothered with me. I found myself telling him if I am cannot ask you questions let me know and I will hang up, call back and speak to someone else. By this time I had no interest in what he was talking about, over it literally. Been with TXU for 2 years, and this is ridiculous.

First of all I have to say this was one of the worst experiences ever. I would also like to add that these two gentlemen Rocky Rayos and Cosme Ortega out of Midland Texas went above and beyond for me trying to fix what happened to my electricity and why it took 3 days to get it back on after a mess up from the company. No offense due only to the fact these gentlemen were genuinely concerned and worked diligently to help me in figuring out what was going on and why. In my opinion the customer service was fantastic. The organization and something with dispatching is way off. Me and my two young boys went almost three days without electricity that was suddenly shut off three weeks after starting service. This was due to the wrong meter number as well as the wrong address. If these guys didnt care so much this review would not be good it would be horrible.

My bill went up by $200 the very first month from my previous provider. $630.00 for a 2 bedroom 1000 soft house!! Seriously!!? This past month was down to $570. I paid $520 on it last week planning to pay the other $50 today and this morning my wife calls me and says the power is off. Thinking to myself, surely they wouldn't turn it off over $50 dollars so call them and yep, turned it off over $50. So paid the 50 right then and let's just say expressed my displeasure over the situation and not even letting me know ahead of time and she says they emailed me a disconnect notice on the 16th and called me that morning and the day before to let me know. BS. No calls at all on my phone from them. Checked my email and spam for it....nothing from them. They did not want to notify me. They wanted it to get disconnected so they could charge me a reconnect fee. Very unscrupulous people. How ironic that in less than a half hour after getting off the phone with them, the new bill for next month hit my email. Another $618. How odd that the bill has no trouble reaching my email, but not the disconnect notice. I am gladly gonna pay the $295 early termination fee to fire them. And gonna report them to the PUC. Stay away from these crooks. Hey, TXU....YOU'RE FIRED!!

TXU according to the commercials are the best priced around, well they are unless you actually use the electric in the home you live in. I signed up with them online and was told my bill would run 175.00 to 180.00 per month and then the phone call I got after the rep said the exact same thing. I said ok well I get my first bill it was 500.00 ! Are you kidding me? I'm not mathematician but 500.00 Is no where near 180.00. I call them because they turned my power off, no call , no disconnect notice, nothing. They demanded that I pay 200.00 before they turn it back on so I go pay that that turn it back on and they say " oh by the way you have to pay the rest of this month 300.00 plus next month another 500.00 plus reconnect of 90.00 by the 29th" that is nearly 900.00 ! There's no way. They then told me then "call before that And let us know I can't do anything about it now" great so I call them I can't pay much become husband has gotten laid off and my pay was cut in half.


They told me " well you have to pay 400.00 before we will help you"

Me " i was told to call you ifi can't pay by this date that's what I'm doing, I don't have any money"

Them " Not my problem, pay this amount and we will help you"

Me " I don't have any money how can I pay you if I don't have it and I was told to call you if I had a issue well I have an issue"

Them " ma'am again we want to help you but you must pay 400.00 first "
This went on for about 39 minutes with me trying to get them to understand I have no money to pay them they then informed me that they will turn my electric off again because there has been no payments in my account, I said thar they are wrong that I paid 200.00 they said yes we see that but it does not count, because it's PENDING. Pending??! . I paid that in August why is it pending???? They never did answer that one . So now I'm in jeopardy of having my power turned off again because they lied, are holding money in limbo, they are demanding money before they will help me. That's no way to run a company. They just don't care about anyone but themselves and the bottom line. Oh a d now I find out they put an "Switch Hold" on my account so if they turn my power off I'm outta luck to get any help or power at all because they will want the 900.00 and another reconnect fee. I really hope none of them go thru this and get treated this way ..... Or maybe I do so they can see what they put us through.

DO NOT TRUST THEM, Liars!!!

Shady energy company will not honor


Shady energy company will not honor night and week credit. I was signed for electric power and the were night and weekend free power. After a month use the TXU energy, the company charged full amount electricity used. It will not honor the night and weekend as it promised on TV advised. Sad energy company.

I live in 1610 at tremore. I started the account in January 12, 2021. I get a bill on the third of each month, that is crazy. I came in washing clothes in my new apartment at least three to four times a day. my bill was less than one hundred dollars until the summer time. in the summer it was less than 115.00. In September my ceiling fans in my apartment stopped working and I was grateful for this because I knew my bill would go down, Not. I took all the light bulbs out of the ceiling fan and bathroom. the bill shot up. My dryer stopped working so I had to wash at a laundry room for four months. the bill still went up. I don't understand to this day why this docent look a bit suspicious and greedy. I began to unplug the stove and tv all the time. What is going on? Im not happy with being used. I have a baby and he sits in the dark with a few candles everyday. Can someone please let me know of a fair company..........PLEASE......NOW!!!!!!!!!HELP............

No matter the plan, it's over-priced! During the hotter months, leave my thermostat at 80 during the day and 75 at night and I'm paying more for a 1 bedroom apartment than all of my friends with 3-4 bedroom houses in Austin. In fact, when my lease is up next month, I'm moving out of this apartment, which requires TXU and into a house that does not require I use them. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT move into an apartment that requires TXU

They say they are here for you 24/7, which means people that dont speak good English, hard to understand and get answers from a computer not a supervisor and constantly say I understand but the system says. Well Im not a computer so dont speak to me like I am and if Im calling in the first place then YES I have a problem. They are the worst for working payments around work schedules. I just have nothing nice to say about txu
