Fixed Rate

Had a sales rep knock on my door and explain to me about fixed rates which I wasn't aware are an option so I signed up to protect myself.

Good company to lock in rates with

Some one knocked on my door and explained why locking in a fixed rate is good over time so I signed up with SFE energy.

Scam

Came to my home trying to tell me that I had missed letters bge had sent out about how I needed to change suppliers. Despite the obvious lie they seemed nice enough, so I agreed to be sent information on them, clarifying they were only sending information. They stated I should sign up immediately as they could only do it in person with them. I declined, saying I would never sign up without researching, and ended the conversation. Received an email asking me to verify security questions and agree to a contract, which I declined. Found other similar scam issues online and cast them from my mind.

Two weeks later I get letters from my energy supplier saying that it's being switched to SFE that day. I call them to correct the issue, and the person on the phone seemed to take down a complaint and acknowledge that I was not using them as an energy supplier. She asked if I wanted to file a formal complaint, which I said yes to, then placed me on hold. A minute later it went silent, then hung up. I tried to call back and were told they were closed, so who knows if they even bothered to take down any information.

Scam

The young lady that came to my door told me how my electric bill would be lower. Received my first bill and because of SFE Energy Maryland my electric bill had doubled. They are charging me a large customer recovery, but I live in an ALL electric home so I will ALWAYS have an overage. The people that come to your home are not knowledgeable about all the extra fees and the customer does not know about the fees until you are already signed up with them. Then they have nerve to want the customer to pay a fee for not wanting to be taken advantage of. I would NEVER recommend SFE Energy to anyone!

Terrible service

The representatives come door to door and provide you with false information about your bill. I was informed that my bill would not change and it should be cheaper because I was being overcharged. Also informed I could cancel anytime free of charge. After receiving my bill in the mail it in fact went up by 75.00 due to the energy provider. When I called to cancel, I was informed it would be an extra 275.00 bill because I am cancelling service.

Bait & Switch, Lied about who they were, BEWARE

I received a call stating they were BGE, I asked a dozen times. After they got my ID they put some arrogant schmuck on, Rick Jannes, who continued to tell me he was from BGE until he told me to write down the name SFE Energy and basically laughed in my face and told me that's how business is done when I confronted about lying

Incredibly Low Business Model

While whatever theyre doing seems legal and legitimate, its just a business designed to deceive unsuspecting customers into paying more, and then worst of all , paying a cancellation fee. Its utterly shameful and humiliating. Literally the worst business Ive ever experienced. A very strong lesson for the future: some people are really just out to get you:

Bait and switch

My problem was they told me one price and for month it was low. The second month it was high the third bill was higher . I called to cancel and was told I could not. Once I told her I was going to BBB they cancel. My bills have been so much higher then it's been since buying my house in 2005. I would not recommend this company to anyone.

Scam scam scam!

Person showed up at our door advising us that they are the new energy provider in my neighborhood. Sure, I could have questioned more. My bills went up, cancelling requires a ~$500 fee OR I have to stay with them for another billing cycle. I was manipulated and charged more than if I had stayed with BGE. Total ripoff.

Total scam

They came to my door claiming to be from my power company and said that by signing up with them I would be switching to green energy at no extra cost. My actual power company got in touch and told me it was a scam, so I cancelled. SFE sent me a $250 cancellation bill, which sucked, but I paid it to be done with them. Then, a month later, they sent me ANOTHER $25O bill for cancellation. I have not been able to get in touch with their customer service to resolve this yet, but you can bet they're going to get an earful.

SFE is a scam all across the board

SFE is a scam. I used to work for the Maryland location. If you call them out for their awful customer reviews they say things like " Oh its a billion dollar company of course there will be bad reviews. They mistreat their employees. They drop us off in random locations and we have to go door to door ALL day NO breaks. Alot of woman end up leaving because unlike the guys who they tell us to just use the bathroom behind a tree or something the females would have to either wait for a ride to use the bathroom or walk. They do not save you money and all they are trying to do is switch your supplier. Switch at your own risk. Oh yeah one last thing we get our paychecks through cash app. While I was working there I have never seen a paystubs and I was there for a little over a month

Scam

I had a lady come to my door and make it seem like I had to sign up or my bill would increase. She did not explain that this was a contract. So, not only did my bill double as a result from signing up but they are trying to charge me $250.00 for trying to cancel. This makes no sense!

Getting me to get services by lying

I had a rep come to my door and tell me he was with BGE and my house was on the list for high utility expenses and I would get a credit of 75.00 for 3 months if i would like the credit i would have to do a phone verification I was never told my supplier would be changed and I was lied to . When calling the CS line I kept getting spoken over trying to convince me to stay but not apologizing for rep lying stating he was with BGE not a 3rd party. It felt like a scam . So disappointed
