Meh, I signed up for a fixed rate plan and the prices were competitive. So, it's hard to knock them for pricing. However, I like to pay my bills all in one sitting, typically scheduling them for the same day prior to their due date. I find it ridiculous that in 2026 you can't schedule a payment. For exanple, you can't log in on the 15th and schedule your bill to pay on the 20th. You'd have to pay it on the 15th. read more

Prices were great when I started service, but renewal options are not. When I called the customer service number, I had to listen to and decline SEVEN different "special offers" for things like TVs and DirectTV before finally being asked what company I was trying to call...what!? Then it didn't even recognize "Gexa" so I gave up and went to the live agent chat. They were useless and told me to call the spammy number again. I'll be leaving, because I would rather pay more and not be hassled with sales pitches when I need customer service. read more

they make it seem like you're saving money, but then they can alter when the bill cycle is and totally make it. You're paying top dollar every time no matter what you do. And beware when you're canceling and have a cancellation fee because they will make sure it's even more with the unfair taxes they can charge on it. read more

Bad customer service. The intake rate might be good, but the rate after contract is to high. Go to amigo energy !!

I would give gexa 0 stars if it was possible on here. They send at least 6 reminder emails about a bill due before the due date and then on the due date they send another. They charge whatever they want even numbers that add up to usage. They still charge in the triple digits in the cooler months for a one bedroom apartment while charging 250 in the summer. They don't notify you about a final bill being due until the day after when you switch service. I absolutely do not recommend using Gexa Energy there are always hidden fees and a harrassing email about a payment due with the threat of your power being shut off. read more

This is specifically about Gexa Energy's Commercial accounts dept. This is easily the most frustrating experience I have ever had with an electrical provider. Customer service is polite but never actually follows up on anything and will repeatedly read their mind-numbing script without seeming to know what they're doing. I have been transferred through multiple people/departments, spending literal hours on the phone, trying to first set-up an account and then trying to resolve billing inaccuracies. Choose another provider. read more

False advertisement plans they will charge you whatever they want doesn't matter the plan you get

I finally got rid of this POS fraud infected company a year or so ago, after all their BS ways of extorting money. I inadvertantly sent via my banking online bill pay July 2025 paymet to them (Gexa) rather than my new provider. Have requested (documented) twice a refund. Even though they show they have it sitting in my old account. To no avail. Just filed with the BBB, there's a long line... read more

They are scam artists. I signed up for a plan, when they sent me my email verification, the unit number was omitted. When i called they said they had to cancel my plan and when I was going to resign they said "the rate JUST went up." IN 5 MINUTES!!!! TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE, Avoid this company. read more

Run don't walk! I got my first bill of $188. $188 for an apartment. Not to mention delivery charge of $54. I left Just Energy to come to Gexa Energy. Worst mistake of my life. Yes, all electricity company charge a delivery fee but $54? People that live in a house don't pay that much for electricity service. I'll pay the $150 termination fee there's no way I'm paying an almost $200 electricity bill. I'll take my chances with Just Energy with guaranteed continued service with bad weather. I'm very pissed. No one is home during the day for an electric bill to be that high. They need to stop lying to people and getting them into these contracts. Oh did I mention if I wanted to change my plan that put me into a different contract ending date. I asked all the questions before service to be lied to. This is a scamming company. read more

WAY overpriced and TERRIBLE customer service. Whenever your bill doubles from month-to-month all they say is that "you used more energy this month." Yes, I see that - but I did not use DOUBLE the amount from the previous month. $300 electric bill for a 1400 sqft house seems outrageous to me. They get rid of the plan you were on every 2-3 years so that you MUST change plans and get a higher rate. In 2022/23/24, I used to be around 7-8 cents per kWh, now the lowest they will offer me is 11.2 cents per kWh. What's changed? I'm in the exact same house as 2 years ago. read more

I've been a loyal, on-time customer for awhile now -- but one small hiccup showed me exactly how little empathy this company has. The customer service felt robotic and cold, with zero understanding or flexibility, even for someone who's never had an issue before. I wasn't asking for much, just a little humanity, and it was met with scripted responses and policy talk. Really disappointing experience from a company I once trusted and that had come through local friend recommendations! read more

I was initially happy with Gexa, until cooler weather kicked in. I expected my bill to go down while using very little air conditioning. Instead, it was almost as high as summertime, explaining I didn't use enough to juice to qualify for my bonus discount. What???? They use a billing formula to keep high monthly revenue coming in year round. Very disappointed. I just felt ripped off. Paid the early withdrawal penalty and got a new provider. And they also sold me a new thermostat, claiming it would lower my bill and make the temp in the house more uniform. That was, in my opinion was just another way to rip me off. I guess I forgot to Caveat Emptor. read more

This was the Most expensive electricity ever . I signed up thinking it was going to be like 13 cent or in that area and really it was like 25 . For 2 days of usage my light bill total was like 35 bucks . I only use about 300 kWh a month if that and my bill high !!! read more

Stay away. My house is covered in solar panels, front and back, but my bill averaged over $300 a month. The amount they gave me when they bought my excess energy from my panels was pennies. The billing had no rhyme or reason, just giant bills for low usage. Once TNMP did not read my meter for months. I kept calling Gexa to see where my bill was, and they said there was not one. When the meter was finally read I kept getting double bills about every 2 weeks with a bunch of fees. I had to keep fighting to have the fees removed. I can't read my own meter or force TNMP to do anything. I waited the contract out while getting unexplainable large bills. This company needs to be shut down. They sponsor everything to seem like a nice legit company but rob their customers to do it. read more

Try to switch over with Gexa energy Co.but after about 2 hours they still were so unprofessional and could not get things accomplished. Now that I look at all the reviews I'm so glad that I did not choose Gexa and did not know how to get things accomplished or get me switched over. Sometimes serious blessings in the disguise. read more

Terrible. Need to go through 20 minutes of an answering machine to even talk to a real person. I received an email stating that my contract had expired, and I knew that my service would end on a certain date. Ended up charging me for a whole month that I wasn't there. read more

Absolutely the worst electricity company I've ever worked with. Disorganized, misleading, and completely untrustworthy. They will screw you over the moment they get the chance. Avoid at all costs unless you enjoy stress and regret. read more

They sent me a bill with no remittance address. Remarkably incompetent. I guess all of their employees get paid under the table because none of them know that to do payment via your bank you need an address. read more

Gexa's customer service agents are polite, but the company itself is deceptive and predatory. They punish loyal, returning customers with outrageous fees--I was charged a $300 cancellation penalty. The shocking part? Even after paying that fee, I'll save over $1,000 by switching away. That tells you everything you need to know. I hope this company loses every single customer until they stop gouging people. read more

I've had service with them for over a year. Unfortunately I didn't receive the emails they said they sent me that my plan was coming to an end. I don't stare at my electricity bill every month, I have better things to do. When my plan ended I was automatically moved to a month to month plan, no phone call, no letter in the mail, just the email they claim to have sent that I never received. They proceeded to double to rate of my electricity cost (over $500 when I almost never break the $200 mark). I contacted them to see if we could arrange a partial refund given I was unaware of the change and over-charges. Of course they didn't do the "right thing", they did the greedy thing and basically told me they could sign me up for a different over-priced plan. Do yourself a favor and don't ever sign up with them. read more

I had a one year contract and left ASAP once finished. Also, horrible customer service, always laying the blame on the meter, apartment complex complex, etc. Once I had a $375 bill in a one bedroom apartment and GEXA refused to say anything was wrong. It went from $170 to $375 and they said used more energy. The next month it was back to mid one hundreds? WHY? Nothing changed in my behavior? It was a nightmare. Also when I went to change electric companies the new company closed to soon and they charged my $150 for 2 weeks left. Horrible customer service and they LIE LIE read more

Received a high bill and the math is not mathing. We need to stop using this company and spread the word. No money, no company. I was informed that 3 days of cold weather increased my bill 3x's the amount. I conversed with my neighbors and colleagues and no one else had this issue. Here's the difference between my neighbors, family and colleagues (I live alone with no pets, children or a spouse and work 12 hr days). Again, the math is not mathing. I have no reason to use an extensive amount of energy regardless of what is going on outdoors, and my house is very well insulated. If they haven't learned yet how mistreating and stealing works, they will once they lose their customers. I "will not" tolerate this and will post on social media everywhere. I suggest you all leave and do the same. read more

Tried to renew for 3 days. Menus hang up with no option to get callback. I have been a Gexa customer for years! Ken

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!! They are misleading and robbing people!!! they are NOT an honest company, NOR do they care about their customer concerns! they will have you spinning in circles and charge you more money for complaints!! The management is super rude and inconsiderate! They will talk to you as if you are not educated and will twist words around to confuse you on purpose! They will offer "the lowest rate on the market " only for you to accept the highest rates!! DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY!!! They erase all of the negative comments on Google to make them seem great. I've attached my review from Google and when they delete it, I will comeback and update. rewl CONS read more

Gexa Energy - My review on Google. I will update when it gets deleted. They are true conartists - Electricity Suppliers Near Me - Houston, Texas

1 Star because I have been able to get a hold of Supervising Managers. This company lures customers by advertising lowest prices. After a few months of being satisfied with the fair charges, they double the charges without notifying customers. My last nerve was frayed when GEXA Energy, after months of tripling what we really owe, never apologized and credited our account when we called about the discrepancies. They try to resolve the issue by saying they are just noting what Center Point tells them. I asked them to give me the phone number to the Supervisor at Center Point Energy if it was the other company's error, and then was told that they would make a note in my file they save and send someone to check our meter. No technician visited our residential property while we were home. Then, I called yet again to complain about erroneous charges that could not be justified because my husband and I both work Full - Time. I had been working late, and we un-plug appliances when we leave for work and keep all lights off when we are at our respective places of employment. The GEXA Energy Manager replied that he is reading the consumption and according to their file -- that is what we owe. I exclaimed, "You are charging me, a Homeowner of a modest home, like I live in a 3,400 square home with a swimming pool!" I was and still am flabbergasted. The worst part is what just transpired -- we were out - of the country for two weeks, did not have any appliances or electricity running, only to receive a bill in the same outrageously over - charged bill that the charged us the month prior. How does this make sense? To charge a couple for two weeks that they were not using utilities ?? Of course, my husband and I were and still are enraged. Readers beware of this fraudulent corporation. They only uphold their contract until you are happy with the low prices for the first few months, then the over - calculated, unjustified bills start rolling - in the mailbox. Consumers beware. I am a forgiving person, and yet, just this evening opened an e - mail claiming that I owe more than last month when they are refusing to credit my account for the usage we did not use !! One Supervisor, Hector, audaciously told me, "Well, we do not have proof that you were out - of the country for two weeks, so we will go according to what I see on my computer screen." I was in disbelief as I have never heard such an incredulous statement from a so -called professional !! "Well, we do not have proof that you were out - of the country...." The nerve !!!!!!!!! read more

When my contract ended ,which supposed to go to month to month after the year contract. They automatically put you in a more costly plan Evan 18 month contract. Then wanna charge you 300 dollar early termination fee.Total run around with "customer service". Do your homework and don't ever sign w Frontier/Gexa. Third rate company at best read more

Do your research. Read these reviews. My bill was $600 on average per month. I picked this company because they advertised as being "green." On face value their rate was slightly higher, but okay, whatever. Didn't expect my $700 bill for one month of electricity. They kept hounding me for this stupid thermostat... to "save" money. This thermostat, unless you tweak the hell out of it, will kick on the ac/heater often (thus raising the utility bill). Later I got solar. I wanted to see what deal I could get to lower my electric bill. (For those of you doing solar, gexa sucks). Customer service was completely unhelpful. Kept reading from a script, sounded wooden, unknowledgeable. They won't give you solar credits until you ask for it... and they give one of the lowest for net metering. I can't believe I put up with them for a year. read more

Gexa Energy is the worst electric provider by far. They disinform me about delivery charges and now I am paying the highest electrical bill ever. From $130-170 now my bill is more than $ 300. read more

EDIT: Gexa has responded to my review and advises customers to carefully read the electric facts label (EFL) to help us better understand what we're getting. Take a look at the EFL I've attached for the plan they're trying to sell me. See how the tiered pricing charges different pricing levels for different parts of usage in the same month? Check out the crazy Excel formula you'd need to calculate the cost of a single month. (See attached photo.) In my case, the "7.4 cents per kWh" they quote for 1,000 hours actually turns into nearly 14 cents per kWh, because nobody uses EXACTLY 1,000 hours of electricity. Gexa, please stop pretending that these overly-complicated EFLs you create are consumable by your customers. They are obfuscated to the point of being nearly impossible to decipher and everyone sees through it. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I am a data analyst, so if there's one thing I know how to spot, it's a company that uses numbers to mislead consumers. I'm talking to you, Gexa! I've been a customer for 1 year because of the PowerToChoose.com rate they offered, which happened to be good. When you want a good electrical plan, go to PowerToChoose.org and search for FIXED plans with a 12, 24, or 36 month contract, and DESELECT THE BOX for showing tiered plans. Those are highly, highly confusing, and intentionally so. In the case of my Gexa experience, they are sending me renewal offers with a big "7.4 cents per kWh" attention-getter on them, then underneath in small letters, "for 1,000 kWh of use." However, Gexa knows EXACTLY how much I use, and that if I were to sign up with this plan, it would actually end up costing me almost DOUBLE their advertised price: close to 14 cents/kWh. The plan Gexa is trying to sell me on would cost me $571/year more than the best plan I found on PowerToChoose. That's because of their tiered pricing. To analyze it properly took me -- an expert data analyst -- 30 minutes to build a tool. That's because analyzing a single month requires breaking that month out across all 3 tiers, the middle of which is more expensive than the lowest or highest tier. It's just all around awful. If you're tired of crap like this being allowed to happen, contact your State Reps and tell them you want to see tighter controls on how electric providers advertise as well as some actual enforcement from the PUC, which ostensibly has had no interest in actually serving the public. read more

Gexa Energy - This is a Gexa EFL which basically requires an advanced analytics degree to decipher and calculate your costs from. - Electricity Suppliers Near Me - Houston, Texas

GEXA where you failed to give me service... another company has gained my business and respect! I've been paying a light bill for many years even when I was down and out. My lights stayed on. I apply for your service and am immediately denied and not given a reason for weeks. Thank God for Favor over my life because I had lights the moment I moved into my new home and NOT because of your company. Your policies are unfair and it's okay...unbalanced weights are on God's "hate" list, so you'll answer to Him. Thanks for nothing ...but also thank you for not approving me..I have a feeling we would have been a terrible relationship... read more

Do not use GEXA the sales people are con artists and should be in jail as you can see from all the reviews! Our bill went from 130 to 400 per month !!!!!!! They are 100% not legit but scammers!!!!!! My GF received a notification that our plan was expiring and called her and the salesman said our plan was over! Not true .... They put up the rate double to what it was now we are more than likely going to have to pay a 150 cancellation fee. We are filing an official complaint with the AGT of Texas / Ken Paxton. read more

Gexa Energy - Scammers !!!! - Electricity Suppliers Near Me - Houston, Texas

f I could give them 0 stars I truly would. I'd just like to say that I had Gexa Energy in the early 2000's for several years without any issues. My bills were reasonable and costumer service was exceptional. I'm not sure if ownership or management changed since, or if Gexa's standards just went downhill in time being but I really am unhappy at the moment. First I'd like to say that as someone who answers phones for a living, it's absolutely unacceptable to leave a customer on hold for over an hour. If call volume is high, you hire adequate staff or pay your current staff overtime to answer phones. Did the standard call center rule of 80/20 go out the window? Set up was quick and fine, also didn't require an hour hold but was answered rather instantly. When my bill was higher than my estimated quote sometime halfway through my contract , I called to find out why. I was told that it's because I was out of contract, which I was not. I asked to speak to supervisor literally five times during the conversation and was told that "none are available and they would tell me the same thing anyway ". I requested a call back and Maria called back. Apparently my bill was higher not because I was out of contract but because I was using less energy. Made sense since it was fall and I didn't use AC much, so I didn't question it and I should have. I now have a $734.59 electricity bill and although after waiting on hold for over an hour and still not getting through to anyone, I received a call back after 9 pm, whatever, I was just glad to speak to someone. The customer service rep was very nice however the issue was not resolved and I have asked to speak to a supervisor, none were available yet again and I have yet to receive a call back. I have requested a supervisor to call me back via email as well. I also asked why I was being charged a different amount per kWh when my contract states that the price is 8.9 cents with usage between 1000-2000 kWh. I was charged 14.2 cents and he explained that because I received a $100 bill credit for usage over 1000 kWh the amount balances to about 12 cents per kWh. 12 cents is still not 8.9 cents that my contract states. I was also told that I will "never pay 8.9 cents " . In actuality I was charged an average of 72 cents per kWh according to my $700+ bill. I was referred to the part of the contract where it says that Gexa can adjust your bill at anytime for any reason, even for their miscalculations, mistakes and faulty meter readings. It's predatory. Very predatory. I have a right to have my account reviewed by a supervisor. And I have requested one at no avail. My next step will be filing formal complaints with both the PUC, BBB and Attorney's Generals Office. I just wanted this issue explained and rectified. I'm not running away from paying bills that I acquired but I like their contracts to be honored and not to feel like I'm being taken advantage of. I live in a 2 bedroom shoebox, not in a mansion to where a $700+ bill is normal. Please read your contracts carefully as there are many loopholes that can be used against you once an issue occurs. Also, don't sign up unless you're ok waiting on hold for over an hour and still not resolving anything. I will part ways with Gexa forever as soon as the opportunity allows. read more

Gexa Energy - On hold for over an hour!!! Who has time for this? - Electricity Suppliers Near Me - Houston, Texas

See all

I just got my last electric bill from them for over $608. Watch this company! They charged me $300 to switch from this high electricity company! I have never had such a high bill before in 61 years. I barely use my heat and haven't turned my a/c on but once in 4 months. Avoid this insanely high priced company!! read more

I have called Gexa 7 times and each time I have been hung up on, only twice did I get a human on the phone, and both times the call cut out on their part. The other 5 cut out before I could get to a human. I can't cancel online - I was told to call - they make it hard to leave their service even if you are past your contract date. I can't transfer service online without changing my plan, but not all plans are available to "Move" compared to what Is available for new customers, and all of them are confusing... and now that I have been hung up on so many times, I hate this company. I even put my name on a queue for a call back.... and 2 days later when I called back I had to remove my name from the queue to continue calling - 2 days and no call back. TERRIBLE user experience. Terrible customer service by phone. I am keeping Gexa for another year because I can't friggin cancel and I am too busy at work to do this anymore. WOW, telling everyone to choose Reliant or anything but this one. What you save doesn't make up for the ZERO customer service. Image is the bill on my 1300 sqft well insulated apartment read more

I was charged 20 dollars for a "Disconnect Notice" two days after the due date to pay my electric bill! No disconnect order was given. They charged me 20 dollars to send me an email saying when my service would be disconnected after only two days past the due date on my electric bill. I will not renew my service or ever use Gexa Energy again. read more

Still no update or help from Gexa. Our bills are outrageous. Our first bill was over $700. Don't get scammed by this company. There's nothing that customer service can do. I'm months in and still have Over a $400 bill and not running the air. My bill has never been over $150 during winter. Update- I had sky high bills for an entire year. I finally got switched to a new energy company and my bills are back low. I'm thinking about not paying my final Gexa bill since they robbed me of so much money. read more

They shut off my power when I changed providers by putting in an erroneous move out notification to ERCOT. I was not past due on any bills. Not even an apology when I spoke to customer service. Signed up for budget billing, which they think means massively over charging then massively under charging and then sending an $850 'correction' in one bill when they realize their mistake. They said I could pay half and then set up a payment plan, but after I paid half I could never get ahold of them again until I was forced to pay the whole bill or be past due. Later when addressing the lack of communication, they LIED about calling me. I had no incoming calls at all that day and claimed to have called me. Incredibly dishonest company with garbage software that can't even calculate a basic budget billing algorithm. Rude customer service the moment you have a problem. I will never use them again and will advise everyone I know to avoid them. read more

I spent an hour on the phone with multiple employees trying to figure out why the bill is so much higher with them, but a lower Kilowatt per hour number... So, unless I hit EXACTLY 1,000 KWH I do not get the normal price! Lower = higher by double. Higher = higher by double. It's a total scam. Dishonest business practices like this disgust me. read more
