Customers appreciate the ease of communicating with Infinite Energy online, and the company has a good Better Business Review for customer service. Fixed rate plans can be a good option for savings with the company.

Good Online Presence

Informative Customer Service
There are reports that representatives with Infinite Energy are helpful, and happy to advise customers about good plans to sign up for.
Additionally, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) gave Infinite Energy a B rating for dealing well with official customer complaints. However, the BBB reported that the company received more complaints than expected for a company of its size.
Savings on Fixed Rate Plans
Customers report that they are pleased to save on fixed rate plans with Infinite Energy in comparison to rates with their local utilty. Some customers report saving more with Infinite Energy than with other alternate suppliers.
We recommend fixed rates because the market price of electricity per kilowatt-hour or natural gas per therm changes so much that a fixed rate plan can shield you from fluctuations. For natural gas customers, we recommend contracts of periods shorter than 12 months, because the market price for natural gas changes a lot over the course of a year, but actually falls over time. We recommend signing up for competitive fixed natural gas rates during the winter, when prices are paradoxically the lowest.
Electricity customers however, should opt for fixed rate contracts lasting longer than 12 months, because the price of electricity increases over the long-term, but fluctuates so much over the short term that you could actually lose money on a fixed rate plan when the market price of electricity is low.
Automatic Variable Rates
Fixed rate plans automatically become variable rates at the end of your contract period with Infinite Energy, and some customers are not happy about this. Variable rates can end up being more expensive than your local utility, and customers report that they were not notified that their Infinite Energy contract was ending and didn't have the chance to cancel or renew their plan before variable rates kicked in.
Difficulty Using Auto-Pay
Some customers feel that auto-pay is not straight-forward. Thinking the service was set up, some customers report that they only realized it wasn't working when they received late fees.
