Thieves
Thieves I originally signed up with Clearview Energy in 2017 because I wanted to support clean energy I am now learning that at the end of my first year I was supposed receive a renewal contract for my electrical supplier I did not receive any such document or email Because I didn t receive or return a renewal I became a month to month customer This entitles you to a variable rate My rate is now 5X what it was when I signed up We heat w gas not electric There are only 2 people living in our house My electrical bill was 440 00 and no we did not have X-mas lights This is how Clearview treats their good customers Good Bye

Cheaters
Same experience to the other reviews They hook you on a relatively low rate in my case 9 months at 0 1009 kwh However when the deal expired they changed the price to 0 4899 that is 5 times higher This is also twice the average variable price in the market Just had a 921 electric bill for 2 people in a 2-bedroom apartment They don t send any notice or warning about the pending expiration although they have another fixed rate contract with 0 14 rate Seems to me they are doing this on purpose knowing that it is pretty difficult for the people to time the necessary change So they just compensate for their relatively low fixed rate as we are on the hook for at least two billing cycles I recommend to avoid them

Clearview Energy are scammers
Clearview Energy canvased our neighborhood in March 2021 My SO answered the door and felt pressured to agree to switch When I read the reviews here and BBB I had her call up and cancel out in what I thought was a typical 48 hour reneg window The customer support agent seem to indicate on the call that we had a right to do that and that our request was granted Around 18 months later when our electrical bill skyrocketed last month I looked deeper since it is on autopay into the bill an found that to my dismay Clearview Energy was the Electrical Supplier and the rate had started to go up gradually in March but doubled to an eye-watering 48990 KWh Dumping them and they better not try to charge me for any termination fee Oh and to make matters worse their customer support number listed on the bill doesn t answer and the voicemail is full

Shady sales practices
I agree with others stay away from this company and never sign up for a 6 month fixed rate They won t remind you that the 6 month fixed rate period is about to end they do send reminders for the 12 month fixed rate program and when they switch you to a variable rate their variable market rate is double what the local utility will charge you They employ several shady sales practices that are designed to gouge clients don t get tempted by their introductory offers

Walk away
Our 1-year contract expired sometime in the winter when electricity consumption is low for us - we have gas for heat Come summer we got ridiculously high bills and it was then that I noticed Clearview had doubled my rates I also called them and was told they sent a notice I never received any notice nor was I informed that my rate would increase They are criminals Walk away

Scam Will rip you off
We didn t notice the energy supplier had changed on our electric bill until our rates started jumping from the 17c it had been for a year to 32c then to 49c at which point we called the supplier Clearview energy They say we signed up for one year contract which they can t provide a copy of or say how it was switched The customer rep said once our contract was complete we were on a monthly basis and basically they could charge whatever they wanted Plus we can t change until the month is over so god knows what we will be paying next month She kept repeating that they had sent us a letter with the renewal notice and rate changes and because it wasn t sent back to them we must have recieved them we didn t get any such mail Definitely illegal in RI we will be contacting our general attorney

Clearview energy is the worst
Clearview energy is the worst they sign you up for a 12 month promo and then take advantage of you they raised my rate 4x They refuse to refund you and they try to sell you on a rate that is worse than market They do not care that you cant afford it because their CEO can line his pocket with money of struggling Americans This company is one you would find in a third world country praying on the most vulnerable group of people They are the scum of this earth and should be avoided at all costs Reach out to your Attorney General and report this scam of a company so they can stop making Americans cold in the winter and hot in the summer

Stay well Clear of Clearview Energy
Similar experience to the other reviews They hook you on a best in market fixed term deal in my case 6 months at 0 11 kwh When the deal expired they changed the price to 0 4889 which is 50 higher than the market average variable price Just had a 1000 electric bill for a 4 person family house The worst part they don t communicate the new price and as the bills come in arrears you are hit for the prior month without knowing it Then as you can t change provider in the middle of a billing cycle it s another month of pain before a switch can happen Avoid the same experience
