All I needed to know

(0.4 / 5)

  Was shopping around last night (on line) and called several companies with one question in particular. Called the number on Tri Eagle website, the one that says 24/7. Was told they were closed and I would need to call back during business hours. I was so surprised I called back twice more. Its bad enough for your energy company not to have 24/7 customer service, but seems so much worse when the web site tells you it is a 24/7 number. Needless to say, I didn't get my question answered, but found out all I need to know.

Loving my usage reports!

(4.6 / 5)

  My electricity bill has gone down ever since I switched to this company but what I'm really loving is the usage reports. I get an email every week letting me know how much I've used compared to the week before. Awesome report and customer service.

  Decent rates, no hidden fees. I pay less when I use less power. I can pay with credit card with no added fee. Happy with their website. So far, so good.

Run!! Run as fast as you can!!!!!!!

(0 / 5)

  Their prices may peak your interest but run from these people as fast as you can. The price isn't worth the headache. What you save you will spend in headache medicine. It is impossible to reach a living person...you stay on hold for 20 - 30 minutes at a time just to get disconnected. The only way to reach a person is through email and then they still take hours to respond. In one day I have called 3 times (waited each time a minimum of 20 mins) and emailed twice. I finally heard back from them almost 5 hours later. It's amazing though that if you need tech support or email in regarding needing help to log on to pay your bill that you get a call back within 15 mins. I will not renew with them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

highest bill I ever have had?

(0.8 / 5)

  I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS UP? NO CHANGES IN MY LIVING SITUATION OR ELECTRIC USAGE FOR 3 YRS SWITCHED PROVIDERS AT A LOWER RATE AND GOT A HIGER BILL? CUSTOENR SERVICE SAID SHE DID NOT KNOW WHY I HAD A HIGH TDU RATE ON MY BILL, SHE WOULD HAVE TO CHECK INTO IT AND MAKE CONTACT BACK WITH ME. REALLY? THE HOLD WAIT TIME FOR A LIFE CUSTOMER SERVICE AGENT 20-30MIN. I AM SO SCARED I HAVE MADE A BIG MISTAKE (WHERE ARE THOSE NO HIDDEN CHARGES ADVERTISED BY THIS COMPANY?) I AM A SENIOR LIVING ON A VERY TIGHT SET INCOME. NOW I AM WORRIED!

This is actually a Texas-New Mexico Power issue. Since you chose a specific date for your service to begin (9/26), TNMP charges you an out-of-cycle meter read charge of $27, which showed up on your first bill. This is not a TriEagle charge, but one from your poles and wires company. We are actually one of the few REPs that do not have additional charges to process your order. We also do display the charge for your convenience when this switch method is chosen during the sign up process and you are required to affirm the charge. Please know that this is a one-time charge from TNMP only, and will not appear on future invoices. We understand shopping for electricity can be a bit tricky and its possible to miss something during the process but we make every effort to display all potential charges during the sign-up process, even charges that do not come from us.

NEVER AGAIN

(0 / 5)

  First of all, I renewed my contract with Tri Eagle in June 2013. Before June 2013, I had no problems. Following the renewal, I've had numerous issues. I did not receive a bill until August 2013. At that point it was for $1,200+. I called customer service to discuss and spoke to a somewhat reasonable lady and made a $900 payment (she also helped me get my online access log in info corrected since they had arbitrarily changed). She indicated the remainder would be due in full on the next bill. The next bill wasn't due until the 28th. Cut me off on the 22nd with no notice. Online access includes a "message center". No "messages". Called customer service to find out why cut off? Had no record of my previous call and asked the typical "Well who did you speak to?". Rude customer service lady this time. Said they didn't cut people off during the summer but are now. OK, BUT DO YOU GIVE NOTICE? AND DO YOU LIVE UP TO THE AGREEMENT PREVIOUSLY MADE?????

October 22nd, 2013

Thanks for the feedback MarkWe have reviewed your account and it appears that the last two invoices were not paid, each for around $400. It is unclear whether you received the paper invoices in the mail or not. The invoice dates were 8/13, 9/12, and 10/11 and not all at once as you stated. Your account also shows that prior to your latest renewal, you have received 5 disconnection letters in the previous 12 month period, so this does not appear to be a new issue since the latest renewal. We make every effort to assist our customers in any way that we can which is why we would like to remind all of our customers that we do offer deferred payment plans for customers who express difficulties paying their bills when due. Additionally, we encourage customers to also have bills emailed to them to avoid delays with mailed paper bills. For the convenience of our customers, all of the bill delivery options with TriEagle are FREE of charge.

No problems

(3.8 / 5)

  I've been with trieagle for a couple years now and I've ever had any problems. My bills comes around the same time every month and I'm always happy with what I'm paying. They have really reasonable rates. Since I never really have any issues I've only had to call customer service once a long time ago but I recall the rep being friendly and helpful. Overall I'm happy with trieagle as my electricity company.

HORRIBLE!! Don't do it!!

(0.6 / 5)

  Anyone looking to change electric companies should NOT use TriEagle Energy. I had a SUPERVISOR threaten to shut my electric off over $4.46 they left off my bill. All that after spending a total of 50 mins on hold, talking to 2 other employees, waiting 3 days for a supervisor to call me back (which they never called so I called them back), already paying the bill the fee was added to after the fact, and of course never being 1 day late on any bill I've ever had. The supervisor was a smartass with an attitude. Pretty poor customer service.****Update**** All that happened on my last bill. Here's an update on my new bill. My paper bill reads $71.00 of new charges, $4.46 previous balance. Total $75.46. I login online to pay the $71.00 and it shows the amount due to be $75.59. I'm willing to bet that's a late fee percentage for the unpaid balance. I guess they offer a low rate so they can hit you with hidden charges after you've been billed then charge you interest for not paying. Haha. Take $5.00 and multiply that by every customer they have...........TERRIBLE!!!! Crooks with an attitude and not ashamed of it.

Matt
October 17th, 2013

Thanks for the feedback Matt-We have reviewed your account and your recorded call into our customer service team. The issue in this case was that your bill was initially generated incorrectly, and then replaced with a corrected bill, which had $4.46 in additional charges. When you paid the initial bill instead of the corrected bill, it left a balance forward on your NEXT bill of the $4.46. Then on your next bill you only paid the $71, not the full amount, so this original charge is still showing due on your account. As you probably know, if you do not pay off this $4 charge it will show up again on your November invoice. This is not a new charge, it is the carry-over from the September invoice. We do apologize for the inconvenience of having initially generated the invoice incorrectly but on the rare occasion that this does happen, we make every effort to rectify the situation by replacing the incorrect invoice with a corrected one as quickly as possible. Please know that according to PUCT rules, if you have legitimate concerns about a charge on your bill, you should go ahead and pay the undisputed amount while we research the disputed amount. However, once the disputed amount is researched and confirmed as a legitimate charge, you will need to remit payment for those amounts.

Thank you for your feedback Patricia. We understand that moving locations can be frustrating so we make every effort to assist our customers throughout this process. There are many factors that go into determining the cost of your electricity. We strive to provide competitive rates to our customers but the cost of your electricity will depend on your usage. Your usage can be affected by the weather and also the energy efficiency of your home. Tracking your usage can be tricky so we like to provide as many tools as possible to help our customers. TriEagle PrimeTime is a free service that you can sign up for that will provide you with a weekly usage report via email. This will allow you to better track when you are using the most energy and how much you are using. We value your business and urge you to sign up for PrimeTime for more insight into your consumption. If this has not fully addressed your concerns, please feel free to contact us at 877-933-2453 to discuss in more detail.

Renewed again

(5 / 5)

  I have been with TriEagle for 2 years now and I just called in to renew for another 12 months at 8.8 cents/kWh. I had to wait a little bit when I called but once I was able to speak with a rep she was really helpful and made the renewal process quick and easy. I also signed up for their weekly usage summaries several months back and am loving being able to see how much energy Im using each week! Definitely recommend TriEagle!

Good experience, but price not competive

(3.2 / 5)

  I have been with TriEagle for a couple of years and had good experience. My contract is up for renewal, but I am disappointed to find that a number of other companies have plans available that are up to 1 cent/kWh better than TriEagle. I don't want to switch, but it seems that TriEagle is not as price competitive as they used to be

Scott
September 16th, 2013

Thanks for the feedback Scott! I strongly urge you to check all the fine print on those plans claiming to be 1 cent lower than our rates. There are minimum usage charges, e-billing and ACH requirements, and all kinds of other outlandish fees that will lead you to pay more each month. Make sure to review the "EFL" for any plans you are considering - this is the standard PUCT format and gives you good insight to these crazy charges. And remember, even if you AVERAGE 1,000 kWh per month over the course of the year, you will drop below this 7-8 times in individual months, and incur some of those minimum usage charges.

Best rates for 100% renewable

(5 / 5)

  I signed up last year. Their 100% renewable plan was actually cheaper than their regular plan at that time, and was the best rate I could find for 100%. I just renewed for about $0.01 more per kWh (a substantial increase), but it still beat any other 100% renewable plan. My monthly use averages under 500 kWh, and I rarely use over 1000 kWh in a month. Most other companies have a minimum useage (usually 1000 kWh) to avoid a hefty service fee. TriEagle's is a flat $4.95/mo, and there are no suprise fees. Believe me, I've put together a spreadsheet just to evaluate the complex minimum useage, fee and surcharge fomulas of other companies.So, someone who uses a lot of electricity, or who wants just a conventional-energy plan may do better with other companies. For me, the decision to renew was simple and pain-free.I've never needed to contact TriEagle, so my good rating is because of the weekly emailed useage graphs, and the several notices about the upcomong expiration date of my contract (some other companies do a poor job with that, and let you go to a very expensive daily rate plan). My only problem was that I wasn't able to open any of the renewal PDFs from email, even with updated updated Adobe reader. My wife could at the office. Go figure.On Price/Plans/Promotions, last year there was a promo code on the Power To Choose site. This year I found a code elsewhere online that shaved off $0.001 . Better than nothing.So, for another year, I'm set.

Customer service and due date

(0 / 5)

  I switched fom Reliant to TriEagle in July. They came highly recommended by many neighbors on our neighborhood Facebook page. I don't have complaints about their prices and plans, but Im not happy with their billing and customer service. I received my first bill for a due date on the 16th of the month which was perfect because I'm payed on the 15th. Then the next bill comes and it is for the 9th of the month. I called customer service to see if I could get my due date back to the original date, but the rep explained with the new billing system this was my new date. I asked if my date could be moved back to the 16th because of my budget, but her response was no. I knew I wouldn't be able to pay my bill on time and I had never been late with my previous company and now I would be with them. Not how I wanted to start my new service. She proceeded to tell me that I had until a certain date before they would cut my electricity off - not what I wanted to hear. My call was because I would have been on time with my original due date. I know I will be late in paying and I didn't want be late. Poor customer service, TriTagle needs to improve there hold times and how their reps handle this type of call. I'm sure I will receive a canned response-if I even get a response. I'm not interested in "we are sorry" - I want my date due date changed back to my original date when I signed up. Social Media can effect a business positively and negatively.

Upset Customer
September 13th, 2013

We are sorry you are upset concerning your due date. We do NOT control when your meter is read is month. If you are in Spring, then Centerpoint reads your meter on approximately the same day each month. We receive this meter read, and turn around and send your invoice out to you - it's that simple. Your meter read would be the same each month, regardless of your electric provider. Maybe your old provider took longer to process your meter read? You can check Centerpoint's meter read schedule here: http://www.centerpointenergy.com/staticfiles/CNP/Common/SiteAssets/doc/MeterRead_2013_Cycles%201-21_Non-IDR.pdf

TRIEAGLE Review vs. Reliant

(0 / 5)

  If you are thinking about switching to TriEagle DON'T....I did a three year constract and regret is very very very much. Reliant is excellent, no hidden fees and very reasonable in proce. My last two bills with Reliant were $404 and $446 in the hot summer month and with TriEagle the last one for the same hot summer month was $750, biggest mistake I made.

J Bassett
September 9th, 2013

Ms. Bassett - we are sorry that you were surprised by your first bill, which was actually $701, not $750. A thorough review of your account revealed that you used 6,999 kilowatt-hours for the service period, so your energy rate of 9.3 cents actually resulted in a much lower bill than you would have received on any currently available Reliant plans. Based on their website on 9/27/13, their lowest rate for a 12-month price is 9.5 cents. You would have paid approximately $15 more with them. We do offer budget billing programs that can spread these high summer bills out over the entire year. If you are interested, send us an email or call our customer service group.

Worst customer experience ever

(1.4 / 5)

  They apparently do not like people to pay their bills. My online login was not working. Strange, I thought... well reset the password. This takes you to a continual loop of receiving an e-mail to reset your password with a link to generate the same e-mail.Now you have to suffer the absolute hell of contacting their customer service. No matter what time of day, the automated lady will tell you it's a 20+ minute wait. Waited 35 minutes to get a pick up/hang-up on one call.Anyone else going through this ridiculous crap, here's my suggestion. Hit the commercial service option, they answer almost immediately. They will not help with your residential issue BUT just ask for a supervisor. They called me back about 5 hours later. This leads to the final ridiculous experience. I asked about my login not working. She informed Tri-Eagle reset everyone's account info. Me: Did you notify prior to the change? Supervisor: No, what do you think I am doing now...Low rate company, avoid....

Thanks for the feedback Brad - we did send out everyone's new account numbers and temp passwords way back at the end of July. We know that many people are busy and it they don't need the information right then, or if it goes to spam folders, those things can be lost.What happened to TriEagle? Outstanding ratings forever and then BOOM our ratings go in the toilet! Heres the scoop: during July, we converted over to a new billing system for our Texas customers. While we tried to prepare as best as possible, the transition resulted in huge numbers of calls into our customer service team. Thousands of customers with changed passwords combined with outstanding rates and the busiest time for Texas switching activity, July and August have been very challenging, to say the least. Long hold times and a stacked up inbox were the norm for several weeks, and our existing and potential customers felt the pain. WE ARE VERY SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE CAUSED DURING THIS PROCESS. We have been working very hard to improve our customer service. Over the last month, we have almost doubled the size of our customer care team, located right here in our Woodlands, Texas offices, not offshore. We even had to double the number of phone lines coming into our building. We are already seeing the hold times down to minimal levels in all but the very busiest times. Our new customer portal also gives our customers many more advanced features and options than before, and our new billing layout provides more information for customers to make informed energy decisions. As we finish the first full billing cycle with the new system, while there are still some hiccups, we are definitely improving every day. We are committed to quality customer service and will continue to roll out enhanced features and services for our commercial and residential customers. Rob Cantrell, CMO
