Energy Plus Holdings LLC Reviews - Scam
Hi, I also took the bait and switched from Orange and Rockland Untilities for my electrical supply portion, back in 2009. When I first ran the numbers, they compared very favorably, and, with the American Airlines promotional miles, plus the few miles I got every month, I was reasonably happy. And, like many folks, I got lazy and just assumed that they were providing me with the best deal around. When my January bill came (largest ever) I noticed that the Supplier end of things was quite large ($0.19875/KWH) and called back into Orange and Rockland who said that theirs was currently $0.1190!!!. When I asked what O&R had averaged over the past 12 months, I found out it was $0.1023 and when I went back and added up the EP rates, that same period averaged $0.1692... over 60% more!. I calculated that I paid over $187 extra to EP for their rates inflated over O&R over the year (on a total of $849). So, while I love the idea of miles, green energy and lower bills... at this point EP has a history (at least in the mid-Hudson region, Orange County) of charging over 60% more for the same KW. In asking to be changed back to O&R, I'm told that will take another 2 months!! ... (which, in these days of computers and electronic commerce I just do not understand) but they agreed to revisit my final bills, once they come in. So caveat emptor.

Scam
After receiving offers to reduce my electric bill if I switched from my local provider NYSEG, I took the bait. My bills became outrageously expensive, so I compared the KWH charge to my previous year's bill from NYSEG and found I was being charged 250% more per KWH! I called NYSEG to confirm their current pricing and, yep, they were still two fifths of what Energy Plus Holdings was charging. When I called to cancel my service with Energy Plus they said it would take two months to switch back to NYSEG, therefore forcing me to be overcharged several hundred dollars more! Don't make the same mistake I did. Do your research before switching. Energy Plus Holdings is bad news.
