GBNext to no notice for power events and the way to save feels a lot like gambling. Have seen no real legitimate benefit and the "opportunities" or events to save on power are completely at random and they will text you like 5-10 minutes prior to it starting. So... Don't be in the middle of anything. They also give no indication for how long the events will last. 5 minutes? 10? An hour or more? No clue, they just let you know when it's done. I imagine there is a schedule they go off of but for whatever reason we are not privvy to that information. Can't speak for anyone else but I am rather fond of having a schedule or at least some notice for things that can affect flow of my day. Especially working from home. For whatever reason though they seem to run it like a middle school game of red light/green light and that just makes me anxious and angry. Will probably "spin the prize wheel" to burn up my points because the no notice "schedule" has killed my streak and I guess thats how you "save" by basically gambling for prizes, which seems questionable at best. Its like my power bill has awful loot boxes. Cool.

GBI like the idea and more ways to improve I like the idea. But oh connect could be smarter about giving credits to people who are already top energy savers. The current algorithm seems to only count individuals historical record. It probably works well for average Americans, it's giving top energy savers negative impact. Because when weather hits and we need energy to stay warm inside and there's no other places to cut. Btw We believe we are as the consultant who did solar installation for us said he's never seen bills like this after decades in business. How about giving these people some credits even if the energy usage stay flat?

GBVery Informative! Very Informative! I love the fact that what not helps guide you through step by step, and covers all of the information you need, through videos and questions from sellers to get started. I had no questions! I received all the information I needed. Wonderful experience!

GBLong Wait to talk to CS My provider just sold my brand new renewal contract with just few days over 30 days notice to Discount Power. Shopping around and calling providers to gauge service response. I have been in a bot queue for over 5 min to ask questions about their service. If I can’t even get through to a human now, what’s it going to be like if I am a customer? Similar problem with GoodCharlie. But at least bot told me there was a 10 minute wait. My current provider, Varsity Energy was excellent, local CS and answered on 2nd ring. Too bad they are selling out their customers! …After waiting 10 min in line, Ohm bot just said I could leave msg. Next!!

GBIt's very easy to do It's very easy to do, you get an alert on your cell or email or both, telling what time the event is happening. It always seems to be in the evening, which can be difficult sometimes because of cooking evening meals. I can't always fit it in due to cooking, but I try to unplug everything that isn't in use to help on those night.
