After being very concerned with a possible upcoming increase in my bill because of the snow event in Texas, I called Cirro and was told by the rep that, since we were on a contract with them, there would be no increase! She was fantastic at explaining how it works. I even signed a new contract and am very pleased with it! It's a great company!

This company offers me an amazing rate, I heard about the simply flat plan on the radio and was thinking, that sounds way too good to be true, the monthly rate must be ridiculous, right? WRONG... the rate was great! I went online just to see and signed up immediately, they only charged me $5 more than the base price (what my previous electric company charged before any usage) for my previous electric company! What?! Hopefully there won't be a dramatic price hike when it comes to renewal, but I have been thrilled with Cirro thus far.

I have used Cirro Energy for nearly seven years. I've never had a problem and have always found their rates, even their renewal plans, to be some of the most reasonable and fair around.

I have had my Cirro Account for about 5 years now. After the first year they lowered by lock in (fixed rate) by quite a bit and I just renewed today at 8.4 Cents per KW. My mom has been with TXU for 20 years... they have never offered her a lower KW rate. I love Cirro and would never change companies. I read some of the comments regarding deferrals. I had a referral once and they explained that they would take that months bill and spread it out over 6 months. There were no surprizes. They did exactly that and what a lifesaver it was. I pay my bill online and I have never had a single problem with this company. They email me when it is time to renew and the website is very easy to navigate when deciding which plan I wish to choose. Hope this helps! PS I also love the fact that they offer a plan that is 100% renewable wind energy and it is very economical.

Everything I talk to these people they are courteous, professional, attentive,, and the list goes on. I have Never experienced a rude individual. Even during the freeze when I know they had to be frustrated.... They just listen then respond. I have not once had to follow up on something they told me they would do. NOT ONCE!!! Do you know how rare this today. Most companies drill customer service about how fast t
you are to get them off the phone. If Cirro has this issue they do a great job of keeping it under wraps. I have never felt rushed or as if the CSR do not care. They are extremely thorough with their jobs for the most part. I love great customer service....
Thanks to all you for doing an outstanding job!!!

My account was with another company for 2 years - then Cirro as I understand it purchased all the accounts. The transition period was not so good...but they gave & I gave so we came to a good understanding. They keeped the rate I had with my old company as I checked mine was lower then theirs. So for the last three years I have asked for a better rate, standing on my own payment record, I pay what is due before the paper bill is sent out and I have never been late. Now coming up in late August-September my contract will come due again...I asked for a good rate again with longer terms and received a good rate again with them, as of this writing July 19, 2018 no one has the same rate. I asked on a rate based on 1500 kwh...some months we are over, some months we are lower so 1500 is a good to average on. As of this writing - I most likely will sign again with them. I read my bill on line by the 14th of every month and paid it rounding up to the next dollar. I have done this with what ever company for the last 40 years and I have a great track record. I pay by my bank. My bank sends them money - they do not draw it out from my account - no one does that at all. I not work the heacke at all.

I switched from Reliant, who I had been with for years, to Cirro Energy last year, at a 9.7 advertised rate. I saved over $1,100 in electric costs during 12 months over prior year's Reliant costs. Now it's time to renew and I'm researching, checking EFLs and company ratings. The current Cirro advertised rates (13.5, 11.1, and 10.6 respectively) appear to include a new "base" charge of $7.95 if your usage is less than 1000 kWh, which mine did for 7 of 12 months this past year. I'm not sure if that is calculated into the "between 500 and 1000" price or not, so I'm going to call them. Otherwise, I've been exceedingly happy with the cost and the service this past year. I'm in the CenterPoint Energy region, which, from what I understand, is the actual service provider (meter reading, troubleshooting, outtages, etc.) for ALL companies in that region regardless of who your energy provider is, so complaints in those categories are a moot point as far as I'm concerned....they're CenterPoint issues, not the energy providers.

I have been with them for 12 months and my contract will expire in a few days. I started shopping around because the rates with Cirro went up. I was paying 9.6 and now it went up to 11.0c. Looking at the reviews of other companies, I realized that paying the difference will be worth it. Other companies require you to use certain kw if not you get charged for it, others change the plan without letting you know even under a contract. I have never had to ask for an extension for paying my bill and I hope I will never have to, but Cirro doesn't charge you a late fee until 4 days after your bill is due, other companies will not give you even a day. I think after reading horrible stories I will stick with Cirro Energy.

Cirro isn't the best provider, but then again we're talking energy companies here. I've never really had a problem with them. However, I'm not renewing with them due to rates. You can find cheaper elsewhere.

Actually have been very pleased since switching to Cirro. I am one that does not pay close attention to renewal dates but they have always emailed us and sent a snailmail letter. When I neglected to renew they had a modest increase (.05/kwh), but did not gouge us like the horror stories i hear about T%U and Re@$*nt, the latter raised my brothers from .10 to .15/kwh when he neglected to renew. No shady dealings here, no tricks, just selling power. At least they have an after hours customer service line. Customer service is about as good as with most power companies. The important thing to me is that they are fair and they do not employ any underhanded tactics at all.

My experience with Cirro was that it had decent customer service and decent rates if you do not consider fees. It clearly price-gouges with a $10.95 meter reading fee. Electricity meters are read electronically, and we have had to pay extra for the smart meters. So there should be no fee whatsoever. However, a pass through charge is allowed but it is only $3 per month. Cirro charged $11 and lies and claims it is charged by everyone.
It charges are high for a low usage customer, therefore, I rescinded my contract as allowed. May be more affordable for high-usage customers.

I have had CIrro for about 2 years. They seem ok. The website isn't great- but it serves it's purpose. Rates seem to be going up every time I renew though. There are a lot of energy companies with lower rates now- but I'm comfortable where I am. Not sure I will move- but might.

I ejoyed Simple Power while I had it, however, they were purchased by Cirro Energy and my rates just jumped. My bills have been higher than ever. I am on the phone with them at the moment to inquire about their rates. The customer service does seem fine, but for the price, I will be trying somone new.

I have been with Cirro for years now. When I first begun with Cirro the order rep told me something untrue. Cirro went back through the recorded conversations and found that the rep had indeed said what I told them she said. They honored what I was told. This time when I call to renew the rates were substantially higher I was told that I could go on Cirro's website and if at anytime during the contract I found a lower rate I could call and get that rate. Today I found a lower rate. I called to sign up for the lower rate and was told it was for new customers only. I needed to sign in to my account to see if there was a rate I could change to. I told them that was not what I was told. I asked them to listen to the conversation as they had before. They refused. You have a 5 yr contract they said and I have other people I need to talk to. Apparently lying has become excepted business practice for Cirro. I would love to be rid of them

I have been with Cirro since they first opened, I think in 2001. I just renewed at 11.00 cents per kwh and have a confirmation number. They are charging 12.72 cents. After 3 phone calls and a run around I gave up. Who would chose to pay 12.72 for something they can get for 11.00? Who? I have probably paid Cirro $100,000 over the years, and was basically shown the door.

I liked the billing , but I canceled the service and got another bill . I call billing they told me it was my finial bill. I never heard anything more , and then I get a letter from collection company . I called Cirro billing and was told it was for the next month that I did not live there for . I was also told I owed nothing else . I had to pay it , and I am a widow now I have that on my record . So the house I lost had two electrical companies for one month. I was lied to that I payed my final bill .

My account is on auto-pay and they debit my account. whenever they feel like it, but usually, at the end of the month. I recently had to change my bank card and when I go online to change the card info. it won't let me. I called several times and nobody ever picks up. I must be the only person in the world whose email starts with a number because it highlights my email and I can't get in. Cirro doesn't even have an app to download. How archaic is that? So, one of their geniuses emailed me 23 times on the 9th because apparently they want to debit my account on the 10th, and, of course, that didn't go through. Talk about being pissed off. I might just have to change providers bc of this. Too bad. SO SAD. UNBELIEVABLE!! What a nightmare.

Month after month Cirro Energy sends out late notices when in fact the payment are received several days before the due date. It appears they either don't log the payments when they are received, or they don't deposit the payment until after the due date in order to illegally charge late fees.

When I got my first bill with Cirro I couldn't believe they were charging me an electricity delivery charge that almost equaled my electricity charges. The next month it was the same and the month after that. I changed electric companies quick after that last bill. All the other companies I spoke with pass along some of the delivery charges but not almost doubling your bill.

Was switched to Cirro after they apparently took over Source Power. They never send me an actual bill just a notice they are going to disconnect if I don't pay. Web site is not very user friendly. I thought I was signed up for automatic payments but apparently there were several steps involved besides providing banking information. Last company provided weekly info about my usage and I never once had a billing problem with them. To bad I just renewed before Cirro took over. Guess I'm stuck with them for a year.

As soon as I joined they had an issue with my credit card, and kept trying to reprocess a bill for $77. After two failures they hit me with - "we cannot accept any credit card payments from you for at leas 6 months." My credit score is >800 and I've used Cirro service in prior years. This has been such a hassle.

Cirro cut off our energy one Sunday when we were not at home. Bye to a refrigerator load of food. Put the balance on a credit card to reestalish service. Checked my records and we were not only current but overpaid by about $200. Two of our checks were cashed but not credited to our account. It took about a month after sending a picture of the fronts and backs of checks for them to be credited.
To avoid a repeat, I put the account on autopay (bill to credit card). Today I received notice of an overdue bill (not billed to autopay). I emailed for an explanation. Received a request for more info and a non-existent email address to which to reply. Pnoed them and was told I had only today set up autopay (I logged in to make sure I had it with a correct credit card number.)
My wife my well be right that we should switch to a provider with reasonable business practices. Cirro may have cheap rates but the savings is rapidly eaten up by refrigerators full of bad food.

24 month contract was just over so I called them. They have nothing even close to the old contract. They want me to pay a higher rate that will cost mt $160.00 a year more. Seniors on a FIXED income with gas doubled, eggs $4.00 a doz, CANT AFFORD ELECTRICITY ANYMORE. THEY GOUGE SENIORS and the public. They make a fortune while the people freeze or can't afford to turn on the air. Don't go with CIRRO, they are money hungry, JUST LIKE THE REST OF THE ELECTRIC COMPANIES. They're deliberately causing seniors to do without heat or air-conditioning by over pricing electricity.

I emailed Cirro about if they have a referral program. My brother signed up with them at my suggestion. They responded back asking about my brother's new account so they could verify it. My next email from them said they don't have a referral program. If they didn't have one, why did they ask me for his account info? I think they say they have a referral program but don't want to pay it. Poor customer service because they lied. Either they do or they don't have a referral program. If they do, why ask customers to verify the new account info? If they don't, why not just say they don't?

$328 to $495 for a month with a single person. My family lives in Florida but my mom lives in Texas alone, I have to pay my moms bill every month, the thing is that the bill goes up around $200 each month but theres only one person living in a single room and rarely cooks and does laundry. The bill is going up too much. I think Im going back to TXU. Be careful when interacting with this company.

I have been with the company for more than 4 years but will be searching for a better one. On March 17th I paid a 490.00 bill completely to 0, instead of taking the switch hold off, they apply it to the next bill? So are you telling me that I have to remain with your company because you guys dont communicate to one another across your system, not only that but Ill Because that happened. I had to pay even more money the following month due to the fault and nobody is in charge to fix there reps mistakes or their actions. Go to another company, youll have a difficult time canceling, etc. in less than 3 months Ive paid over 1200 due to the way they bill etc. tired of dealing with cirro. Cant wait to be done.
