It's worked superbly. I've no complaints. Customer care was good when I had a question about my bill (and it was accurate). They have a A+ rating with the BBB. I've noticed their rate for renewal is higher than one or two competitors (I was looking at their renewal 12 month fixed). As such Ive been shopping around and while they're not the lowest they're competitive. Most of the companies are charging a "Customer Fee" (ridiculous). I've notice I usually use less than 1000kw monthly so I have to focus on those companies that have the best rate for my type of usage. I've noticed that when you click on the companies' term and conditions they do spell out their additional fees. So far in 75052 for someone who uses less than 1000kw Champion seems to have the best rate @ .10kw but there is a monthly customer fee. Cirro for their promotional last year had no monthly customer fee just a flat .09 regardless of how much you used. This is the way it should be in my opinion.

There are better options and better customer care out there than waste time and money with Cirro Energy. Hi

So far I think I'd still stick with them I found that for the six months, my average monthly rate, including customer charges was 12 cents per kWh. From what I've read, the gripe with Cirro isn't really the rates, but what happens when your contract lapses and you get charged the maximum rate. With regards to other providers, while they give their cent per kwh rate, there's no information on what their customer charges are so it's still a gamble anyway. And since Cirro's lowest rate is 10.80 cents and the lowest rate I've seen so far is 9.80 cents, even with the same customer charges the difference is still one cent. I think I can live with that. Here's a table of my monthly charges so far... November - 530 kWh = $64.57 December - 806 kWh = $95.37 January - 633 kWh = $76.07 February - 501 kWh = $61.32 March - 792 kwh = $93.81 Totals = 3262 kWh = $391.14 Per kWh = 0.1199 ~ 0.12 cents Hi,
