Looking to screw you!
“ Rates aren't much better than PPLs, but with the offered rebates they are less. Problem is rebate process is a huge hassle. Mailing is obsolete, but the only option they offer in order to request a rebate, as opposed to offering the ability to request online, or just paying when you meet the criteria. They claimed my rebate was never received from USPS and now w/o t pay the rebate since if changed suppliers. Avoid these butthats. ”

I would avoid...
“
I might be getting electricity for a few pennies less... but it simply is not worth the hassles of dealing with Frontier Utilities customer service.
So unless you have unlimited time, I'd find another provider ”

took my order but somehow later erased it
“ I was unhappy with Energy Harbor when my contract ended. They said they would continue me if I did nothing at around $7.6 per kilowatt hour, when they were offering plans at 5.99 and 6.5 or so. They seem to be hoping that customers will do nothing and thus pay more. Then when I signed up for the 5.99 plan and got a email confirmation, I later got a notice from Ohio Edison that Energy Harbor notified them they were "ending their contract with you." I called and emailed them but they never fixed it. The rep said she would call me today at 8AM but never did. I thus went to a different provider at the 5.99. ”

Is This the Old Bait and Switch?
“ I got the renewal letter from Energy Harbor informing me that my new rate will be .1186 starting in July. I am currently paying .10890. Before renewing I checked PAPowerswitch.com and was shocked to find that Energy Harbor is offering the same plan for new customers at .09390. When I called their number I was given two plan options which were more expensive (and longer terms). When I mentioned the Powerswitch price, I was told I would have to cancel my current plan and re-apply to get the better rate. So, they won't give me the customer service of just switching me over to the same rate they offer new customers. I have to do it myself. I've been with them for a year now, so I'm an established customer with a solid payment history. I suppose I could do it myself, but since I have to re-apply somewhere, I might as well look for better rates elsewhere. This is a lousy way to treat existing customers. And, I fear they will take advantage of senior customers by assuming they will just go ahead and renew at higher rates. Maybe all the energy companies play this game, but I don't have to play Energy Harbor's bait and switch game. ”
