So Easy to Work With Town Square
I had a live chat with Desirae Pereda. I wanted to switch plans to get a lower rate. She handled the entire transaction! All I had to do was provide some information, and now I'm paying less. Thank you so much. — Izzi from Southbury CT
Fabulous Rates & Service
There customer service is wonderful. I signed on a few months ago and they lowered their rates and when I called to see if I could get the lower rate, they changed it no questions. Such better rates than National Grid... Currently sitting at $12.27/kwh compared to National Grids $33/kwh - HUGE SAVINGS. And yes, it works as I have had a couple bills come in and it reflects the correct pricing. THANK YOU for saving us money. — Lynsy from Bridgewater MA
World changing experience!!! Due to Customer service representative Anisia Garcia
I returned after years of not being with the company because of unxexpected 2022 life changes. Prior to speaking to Anisia Garcia I spoke with other representatives who put me on hold for like an hour who were rude and condescending to the point where I requested to speak to a Supervisor and they wouldn't comply even as I continued to insist on speaking to a different person.
The representative finally transferred me and I was already stressed, annoyed and inconvenienced for the time spent to rectify this issue. I was then greeted by Ms. Anisia Garcia to whom I asked respectfully if she was a Supervisor and she advised
me she was not but I explained my situation and she completely revamped my experience. Not only was she kind, professional and respectful she was unbelievably empathetic to my situation and that I why I decided to accept her guidance and expertise. She evaluated my position created and recommended solutions to benefit my family which allowed me to breathe when I was having such a difficult time with everyone else.
So I just want to thank MS.Anisia Garcia and would recommend that she get a raise increase or promotion to Trainer or Supervisor so that her abilities can be utilized to train and mold others in your company so people in the future can be able to breathe when they have no one else who understands their situation or position.
Thank you for you time

Be careful when it comes time to renew
I go back and forth between Town Square Energy and my grid operator (National Grid) as my electricity supplier depending on which company is offering the best rate. Town Square's $0 cancellation policy makes it possible to do this with no penalty. However, there's typically a two-month lag before any change you request takes effect. One sketchy practice of Town Square is that if you don't explicitly renew your contract when its scheduled to expire, they'll continue to supply your electricity but at a *much* higher rate. In other words, if you take no action, your monthly bill will suddenly increase by 50% or more when your low-rate Town Square contract expires. The company says they send a written notice to customers that it's time to renew (or cancel) two months prior to the contract expiration date, but I never received any such notice, and apparently other customers don't either. So it's incumbent upon the customer to keep track of his/her contract status and decide whether to renew or cancel at least two months before it expires. Otherwise, I think Town Square Energy is a good alternative electricity supplier with rates that often (but not always) beat those offered by your local grid operator.

A bad company misleads consumers
Town Square policy misleads customers with its option to choose their supplier. Up until last year, there was a 2-week window for changing to a supplier with a more competitive rate. Now I ve been told that any change of supplier must be put in place within 2-3 billing cycles of the existing contract. The catch is that most suppliers require a commitment of a 4-6 months contract and any request to switch sooner involves a $50 cancellation fee. Town Square has out its customers over a barrel with the result that they never know of a good time to switch. I have ended up sticking with the Town Square energy supply rate; no surprise that this Town Square standard rate is the highest out there. Town Square should do better than this for its customers.

Buyer Beware!!
I used Town Square Energy for several years. During the ridiculous rate increase and fees by the State of Connecticut's PURA , TSE took full advantage, and without notice, increased the supply rate by four times the original agreed upon rate. When I called to enroll in their then current promotional rate which was much lower, they denied us. I tried to cancel and they said it would take two billing cycles which is a flat out lie. I called ES and they explained how easy it was to switch out of TSE which took immediate effect. Stay away from this company - I find their price gouging to be an unfair business practice!
