I would avoid...

(1.8 / 5)

  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

(1.8 / 5)

  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?

(1.8 / 5)

  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.

  Extremely poor service. Refused to answer my questions. Very poor communication.
