Customer feedback from Trustpilot, Google, BBB and the Selectra Reviews network, plus an editorial verdict from our energy team.
Selectra editorial verdict
Gulf Electricity is effectively a legacy brand — current electricity supply for former Gulf customers is handled by Think Energy. If you are an existing Gulf Electricity customer, your contract terms remain in force but new enrollments and product changes now happen through Think Energy. For new customers in New England or New York looking for a competitive supplier, compare current Think Energy and other-supplier rates against your utility's default price-to-compare for your zip code before signing up.
Pros
- Backed by a well-known fuel-distributor brand (Gulf Oil) — instant name recognition for households.
- Multi-state footprint across all six New England states plus New York.
- Continuity of service after the 2015 transfer to Think Energy — no interruption for existing customers.
- Green-energy option historically available in Maine and New Hampshire.
Cons
- Gulf Electricity no longer enrolls new retail-supply customers under its own brand — Think Energy is now the supplier of record.
- Brand confusion since the 2015 transfer — customers receiving Think Energy bills sometimes do not realise they are still on a Gulf Electricity contract.
- No natural-gas offering — electricity only.
- Limited current price transparency since the brand is no longer actively marketed.
Common questions about Gulf Electricity reviews
Gulf Electricity reviews — answers
Reliability is best judged across multiple sources, not one platform. Trustpilot and Google reviews skew negative (dissatisfied customers post more often), while BBB ratings reflect complaint handling. The most balanced check: look at the BBB letter grade for complaint resolution, scan recent (last 6 months) Trustpilot reviews for recurring themes, and compare Gulf Electricity's unit rate against your utility's price-to-compare before signing up.
Retail energy is a complaint-driven category — customers rarely write reviews when their bill arrives correctly, but a billing dispute, a variable-rate surprise, or a renewal price increase often triggers a 1-star review. The same dynamic affects every US retail-energy brand. The BBB complaint-resolution rate and the state public-utility-commission complaint reports (often public) tend to be more representative than aggregate review scores.
