Volt EP Customer Reviews

I haven't had any problems with this company, employees are helpful & courteous. Very pleased with the all around service, especially paying a lot less for electricity service!!

We have been clients of Volt for 2 years and have had no problems except for figuring out what to do with all the extra cash. TXU rode us to death for years and years.

SATISFIED WITH NO MAJOR PROBLEMS--COUPLE OF MINORS WERE WORKED OUT BUT

WE ARE PLEASED WITH OUR SERVICE

IN ALL AREAS!!!

Volt EP hooked me with a good introductory plan and my bills were reliably low and easy to understand. They then discontinued that plan and put me on a "Day Ahead Index" plan, which is a variable rate plan. Everything was good until the polar vortex caused chaos.

After the extended power outage (which was not Volt EP's fault), this plan they put me on raised my rates an astonishing 17,700%. My bill went from a manageable $75ish per month for a single guy in a small, energy efficient apartment.

Now, based on my estimates, it looks like yester alone I consumed $831 worth of power, and $466 the day before.

Volt EP has re-organized their phone systems to explicitly not allow you to speak to a human. You have to leave a voicemail (but that mailbox is full.) You are asked to send an email which doesn't get a response to. You are asked to use the website, which again, does not get a response.

I was willing to give Volt one more chance, if only I was able to speak to a human about this INSANE bill -- I am looking at over $1700!

This is going to destroy me financially. I don't really know what to do anymore. I have found a new provider with a fixed rate. But that doesn't help me after getting screwed over and moved to this plan.

Request a "Forgot my password" - you'll get your real password (not a one-time password) back in plain text. What this means is the encryption is terrible, and your data is at risk. Do not give them your SSN, do not give them your DL, do not give them anything. Their security practices are awful.

I know that late fees exist, but this one is higher than my mortgage. $25 for paying a day late. They charge so many fees it adds up to a very high amount. Again, I know that paying late will get a fee, it's usually around 10 bucks. Wouldn't recommend this company.

Live in a apartment complex and they use Volt as their electricity provider. Lights did not go off because of the weather, well, at least not the apartment I live in. Volt came out Friday night working on the power, and ended up cutting everyone's power off so they can fix the other. Came back Saturday, fixed everything but still no lights. When asked when the lights would be back down, they just gave you short, untrue answers. Its Sunday, and we still have no power.

I usually don't take the time to write negative online reviews, but with Volt I'll make an exception. This company bills you for using too little electricity seriously, it appears as a "Usage Charge" on your statement when your total usage is below 500 kWh (because getting charged for NOT using something is now a thing) and they also make it difficult to end your service. Just all-around awful. Do yourself a favor: Do NOT use Volt Electricity.

I had same experience as others it crazy my bill went from 150 to over 375 from one year to another for less use at times. ..to quote someone else."once my contract ran out they put me on a monthly plan and increased my total bill amount over 300% for the same usage! Called to see if this was a mistake and was treated very poorly and basically told "that's how it works!" DO NOT RECOMMEND I tried to cancel and they are rude.. and very nasty.

I was enrolling with this company and the security is awful emails and hand typed including for your account. Plus when you see all the negative reviews. Stay away. Too bad i already put my social with this people bad mistake i made for not doing my search.

Contract price was not cheap. Contract ended and they charged me 30 cents a kw. Complaint answered by billing manager 1100. Nameless responses. Total scam company. Would never ever use again. PUCT sent me a form letter stating their outrageous prices were legal.

Once my contract ran out they put me on a monthly plan and increased my total bill amount over 300% for the same usage! Called to see if this was a mistake and was treated very poorly and basically told "that's how it works!" DO NOT RECOMMEND

My plan expired and they made no attempt to contact me. The very next month, they decided to try and get AS MUCH OF MY MONEY AS THEY COULD before I realized it. They switched me from 4 CENTS per kWh to almost 28 CENTS per kWh. I have a two bedroom place, and my bill was about $770!!!!

Avoid them at all cost. They will take advantage of you the first chance they get. They are leeches. I never write bad reviews (not even on Yelp...), but they are so slimy, I just can't stay quiet and let any of you make the same mistake.

I've never been this ethically disappointed in a company before. Please don't make the mistake of letting them be your 'provider'. Just so ethically disappointing. I'm not one to curse, so I don't even know what else to say.... just a company of disappointing/unethical people.

Terrible. Not properly informed or disclosed that month-to-month rate would be shockingly high. Almost $0.5 per kWh for two months when I got statements.

We received a $700 bill for the month. We asked to speak to a supervisor no one ever called us back. They take your money quickly, but when you ask them to call you they don't. BE CAREFUL PICKING THIS COMPANY as your electrical company.
