Tara Energy Reviews

Take a look at what people have to say about Tara Energy:

Positive

“I’ve had Tara Energy for over 15 years & have kept with them. They always let you know your usage & the estimate of what your monthly bill will be is always close. Never any surprises like most other electric companies…” - Maria M.

“He was a very good representative he was funny he kept the call. Interesting. I’ve actually been in Customer Service for over 25 years. I have to say he’s one of the best reps I’ve spoken to and I’m very very long time.” - Melissa M.

“I have never felt so comfortable with anyone at any light company because they have all these hidden fees and charges but Baabbbieeee let me tell y’all about TARA ENERGY they are the best company to go to they are better then any light company FOR HOUSTON…” - Denise B.

Negative Experiences

“UPDATE: Lilly, nor anyone at this company, can fix what they’ve done and I have proof of their oversight! All I get is we are sorry for the inconvenience. Yeah, pinging my credit for 7 years is significantly inconvenient…” - Brent B.

“I’m appalled by the level of customer service and integrity of this company. On May the 20th I called to sign up for a service plan. I was notified on this date that I had 3 business days to cancel with no termination fee… I received a bill with my termination fee added…” - Dana R.

“They may give you a lower rate but their T&D charges are exuberant!! I can’t believe all those charges are passed through from Centerpoint. Can’t wait till my contract expires to move on. Their customer service couldn’t care less.” - Femida M.
