FAQs
What is the Express Energy "60-Day Satisfaction Guarantee"?
Express Energy offers a 60-day satisfaction guarantee for new residential customers. If you are not happy with your plan, you can switch to another Express Energy plan or cancel your service entirely within the first 60 days without paying an early termination fee. This allows you to lock in a low rate with the confidence that you can change your mind if it’s not the right fit.
How much are the Early Termination Fees (ETFs)?
For most fixed-rate plans, Express Energy uses a “per-month” structure for cancellation fees. Typically, the fee is $20 for each month remaining on your contract. For example, if you have 5 months left on a 12-month plan, your ETF would be $100. This is often more favorable than the flat $150 or $200 fees charged by other providers.
Do I need to pay a deposit to start service?
Express Energy requires a credit check during enrollment. If you meet the credit threshold, no deposit is required. If your credit score falls below their requirement, a deposit will be necessary to activate service, though this is typically returned with interest after 12 consecutive months of on-time payments.
How do Express Energy bill credits work?
Many of their popular plans (like “Flash Value”) feature substantial bill credits, such as $100 or $125 off your bill when your usage hits a specific target (usually 1,000 kWh). These credits are designed to reward average-to-large households, significantly lowering the effective “price per kWh” once the credit is applied.
