I'm hoping to clear a few things up not listed here. I'm an Eversource customer, and while I have not had an issue with North American Power, I would tell anyone to proceed with caution. If you watch your money and bills like a hawk, it might be worth it to you. NAP makes it sound like you will save a huge amount of money, you won't. It is a little bit, but you need to keep an eye on your contract, when it ends, and how to update it or get out of it. If you can't do that, or aren't the kind of person who looks closely at your bills each month, do not sign up with them. As of today, right on Eversource's website, there are providers offering a better rate than NAP, some by a fair amount. At least through Eversource, you can opt out of your third party contract with NAP (or another provider) fairly easily. However, you must make sure that there is no termination fee, or other hidden fee if you do. NAP's is $50 as of this writing. Logging into NAP and finding out any information about your account with them is something I have yet to be able to do. I don't like calling people like this as there is no paper trail, so expect to be on your own here. Eversource has a video on YouTube I recommend everyone watch before considering a third party supplier. It's called: RECOGNIZING AGGRESSIVE MARKETING TACTICS. NAP was once a MLM company, they are no longer, I'll give them that. I have not been ripped off by them, but I do trust the people on here that claim to be, to be honest. As I look at NAP, I can easily see how someone could be burned by their system. Final line, if you are the kind of person who watches your bills like a hawk, and NAP offers a better deal than others, go for it, and keep your eyes open. If not, even if you're at all unsure, skip them. read more

This company is completely unethical, the worst case of taking advantage of the consumer I've ever seen. They are essentially preying on customers who are unaware of their despicable tactics. I switched to them originally from a mailer solicitation, which promoted a more reasonable rate. After the initial period, the rate skyrocketed. Unfortunately, I did not notice or compare to see how high it actually was, which is my bad. Their rate was $0.1699/kWh vs $0.069 at Pepco, hard to imagine how they can get away with charging so much. Fortunately, I was able to cancel them quickly through Pepco vs. it taking a couple business cycles through NAP. This is an expensive lesson learned and hopefully there are more lawsuits against them to right these wrongs. read more

Stay FAR away from this scam company. They cost me and my wife more than $20,000 over the past 6 years! I called today and found out they are charging me 17.99 cents per kilowatt and have been for almost 6 years, when RI energy charges 7.81 cents per kilowatt currently. What they do is they offer a slightly better rate than your current electric provider for the 1st year. Then after the 1 year contract expires they send you a renewal notice in the mail. If you fail to respond to their renewal notice (which they are banking on), they continue to service u and they gradually increase your rate over time so you do not notice it. I'm so upset I did not call in sooner and have been paying these scam artists well over double the rate that RI energy would have provided me. This company is such a scam. DONT DO WHAT I DID! read more

I would give them -1 star if it is available. My bill jumped from $120 to $340 paid over $1200 last 4 months. When I called the representative, I found out my contract was over. When I tried to cancel the service, he told me that I have to email them info and then I can get the cancelation letter by mail. Also he was angry when I asked him why I can't get confirmation number right away(I need to call national grid) saying it was in the contract. Probably fine print. It is scaming with fine print and misleading trying to make cancellation service difficult. read more

Received a fixed rate notice since my term was nearly completion. The October 2021 fixed rate is 13.99 kWh. The paperwork states that Eversource has a fixed rate of 15.99 kWh. I called Eversource who were amazing and they told me that currently my rate with North American Power is 9.79kWh! This would have bumped me from 9.79 to 13.00! Eversource's rate is 8.26... As of tomorrow my supplier is Eversource. Also set me up with a nice monthly budget based on my usage over the past 12 months. I did not have any 'issues' with North American Power; however, this was a no brainer. read more

Good rates, BUT DON'T FORGET TO CANCEL OR SIGN UP WITH ANOTHER SUPPLIER. Their "variable" rate is 3X the normal. This simple oversight cost me almost $200 in one month. Next, they try to lure you into another contract, at a higher-than market rate, in order to forgive some of the current charges. I feel they are unethical. read more

Awful company. They charge close to double the rates once your contract elapses without, in my opinion, adequately informing you the contract is expired....TWICE THE RATE!!! If you don't catch it in your billing you're screwed. I ended up losing hundreds of dollars because I didn't catch the billing change for three winter months. Avoid the switch to North American Power......scam artists in my opinion! If there is a lawyer in the crowd reading this I want to let you know I would be a very willing participant in a class action suit. read more

I too was NOT notified when my contract was up and paid for several months double my rate before I noticed. I called them and they said my contract was up and now my account was subject to the variable rate. So I switched to new company and sure enough I got a call from them with a lot of promises. I am already capped in with another company for a year and I am not paying a penalty to cancel contract. I told them you have my email address and you sure have my phone call why didn't you contact me when my contract was up and renegotiate?? Thanks but no thanks. read more

I signed up for this "great" deal 3 years ago, not knowing that at the end of the first year the prices would skyrocket. Now it's almost twice what JCP&L charges. Was wondering why my electric bill was so high and finally found out. They were supposed to notify me at the end of the contract, but I got no notice Buyer beware! This company is completely unethical. Read all the reviews. read more

This is a bait and switch scheme, the CEO should go to jail. do not do it you will end up paying much higher prices after a few months.

In my opinion they are an extremely disreputable company. I am more mad at myself that NAP for getting screwed by them as I should no better. Saved a little money over ConEd (local provider) when I signed up. I lost track of when the contract ended and never saw a notification from them. Checked today and their rate is 55% higher than ConEd. That is ridiculous. I would not complain if it was 10 or even 15% higher, but they really put the screws to me. They must make most of their money realizing that a lot of people don't check their bills regularly. A very expensive (2500) range mistake for me. read more

They got me good. I received the standard letter about the contract coming up for expiration along with the standard disclaimer/warning that it will go to "market" rate if I don't respond. So, I shopped around and found several offers for between .05 - .06. North American would only offer .08+ and wanted a 24 - 36 month lock-in. Here's where I got screwed. I got a letter that it would take 2 billing cycles to convert to the new supplier. North American jacked up my rate to .11 for July and August (the highest usage months). Any money that I saved by locking in a low rate for 12 months went out the window in one month due to the ridiculous 2 billing cycle trick. I called North American Power, the new provider and the distributor (Commonwealth Edison). They all ran me in circles, pointing to the other .....all the while agreeing that I'm getting screwed. No satisfaction. I now believe that it's better to just stick with Commonwealth Edison's variable rate versus trying to save a few pennies by switching around to the lowest supplier because they'll screw me one way or another and I have no recourse. read more

This company charged me double what my electric company was charging because their parent company, Champion, switched my account to them. They said that because I didn't have a contract with them, my rate was higher. Well in the letter where they notified me that they were transferring my account they said I didn't have to do anything. I will never pick this company to supply my electric and don't recommend them because what they did is unethical, overcharging time without offering me a contract proactively when they made the switch. read more

I'm a JCP&L electric company customer in New Jersey. A year ago, I got one of the best deals around with NA Power. Fixed for 12 months. A month ago, I got a letter in the mail saying that my promo rate is about to expire, and that I could choose a new plan online, give them a call, or let the rate go to a variable. Pretty straightforward. The rates online were more expensive, so I called and told them that I would have to shop around to see what others could offer. They then basically matched my existing rate, and locked it in for another 12 months. The total time of the call was about 5 minutes. I'm satisfied. No surprises, friendly people. The only reason why I went into this amount of detail was because of the negative reviews I see here. My experience was completely different, and I wanted people to know. read more

Don't do it - it is tempting for your first few bills ! Once you expire, you will get a variable rate that is twice your regular rate. It looks good at first, but if you are busy and don't renew your contract they will auto charge you variable rate , which DOUBLE what you should pay! read more

This company is a traditional bait And Switch operation. Much is done by phone very little in writing. They never told me the truth once in my entire relationship with them. For example, when going solar they would not purchase any power back, and said I had to pay 10$ per month in order to cancel a long term contract. that would have been 240$ at that point. I escalated through two more persons with endless scripted sales none sense. Finally after confirming I was going to the utility commission of my state, they changed the terms of the termination to no more than 50$ which they now claimed was what they were limited to. Dishonest, greedy corporation to the core. read more

To whom it may concern: This is so unfair, after being promised a refund for my last month; they reneged just like reviews across the web mentioned would happen. More proof that North American Power has been mistreating customers; so dishonest and disingenuous to find out how they never offered me a fix-rate once it was available--instead choosing to inflict 50-75% overages vs what my local utility (i.e. PSEG) would have charged for the last 3 years with your variable rates. Too bad there isn't a 0 or negative rating for NAPower! Cheers, Yomi P.S. I'll follow-up on the above now that I asked for a cancellation 2 weeks ago! read more

Scam artists....... My contract was up. They said they sent me a letter. Cost me $600 over the past 6 months. I called them and they offered to give me $100 back and then gave me a rate higher than my local utility company!!! read more

First, I cannot believe that in order to place this review I even have to give this company one star!! Please count this as a negative one star... Got a bunch of calls a 18 months back about saving money on my electric bill (PSNH -- now Eversource) by switching suppliers. Wow, I can switch suppliers?! I thought it was a monopoly. So the energy delivery is a monopoly controlled by Eversource, which charges us almost $80/month even if we don't use ANY electricity whatsoever -- a total hosing for all NH residents in a certain area! Yay us! So this company North American Power & Gas LLC is offering rates that are half that of PSNH, so I sign up! The contract runs for a year and then promptly ends. I ask if there are any other savings offers from North American and they say no. So I figure I'm back on a PSNH plan, but no, I'm still with North American Power and they've been slowly but steadily raising the rates. Now the gas bust happens and gas is super cheap everywhere -- except in my electric bill! How else do you keep up profits when prices fall through the floor? Keep charging a high rate, that's how! All these energy suppliers are (for the first time in recorded history) losing money selling cheap electric because gas prices have fallen so low, but North American is charging it's hold-over customers a double rate. So I receive another promotion from another company and sign up in January of 2016! They are offering a rate that is like 7.89¢ and I find that I've been charged 15.99¢ for who knows how long! That's more than double!! Little do I know, even though I have given my approval to switch to this new company, North American can control my billing and hold on to me for up to TWO FULL BILLING CYCLES!! Yes, that means that through the entire end of the winter I've been paying the over-twice-as-much rate!! So I call Eversource to tell them that this has been done in error and can they please credit my account and make sure that I've been switched to the new company I signed up with? Long story short, no they can't. They have nothing to do with who supplies my electric, they are merely the delivery agent! Can't even tell you how livid I am at this point! And the regulations that the electric industry got approved contain that in the fine print! Thanks to the Congress & Senate for passing that tasty bit of legislation on to us. So I've been paying the highest rates during the highest usage period and I have no recourse! Perfect. Honestly, I don't know exactly which company I'm slamming at this point, but none of them can claim to be customer focused. Face it folks, we're all screwed with these monopolies that don't have to do anything to retain customers, just mail out inflated bills and pass you through to collections when you fall short. For people who think government is a bad thing, remember that government is essentially created to be of, by and for the people -- that's us. Regulating these bloated industries is one important and essential function of our government. And it's not just electric, it's also cable tv (broadband internet), cell phone service, you name it. It's time these huge monopolies worked to earn their customers loyalty instead of holding us all captive! End rant. read more

Too bad there isn't a 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 or lower rating. This company start off with rates a little lower than your primary electric company, but if you forget to re-signup at the end of your contract be prepared to have your pockets picked. Your rate may go up 50% to 150%. And you can forget about being notified of the pending end of your contract. You won't find a reminder from NAPower. That's right, they will jack the rate up way beyond what is being charged by your primary electric company. Their variable rate for me was over 100% more than what was being changed by my electric company. And when you try to cancel it take months. However, when you sign up, they can somehow get it done within days. Go figure. Save your money. Don't get hood winked! read more

Hey Yelp can we get some half stars? Consider this a 3.5. My experience wasnt amazing, but North American Power did everything they said they would... so im satisfied. I signed up over the phone, I could actually understand the words coming out of their mouth(USA) and I got a letter in the mail when my plan was going to expire. Call me old school but I do all this stuff over the phone. Thanks James for sharing their BBB page, I didn't know they had an A+ rating and its reassuring. - Ralph read more

Okay, I thought I was going to tell you something new, but same old, same old: DON'T FORGET TO RENEW YOUR RATE, or you'll pay them back double what you saved. My rate expired 2 months ago, and I didn't notice, until this month's bill came in at double the rate and double my historic high in electric bills. When I called American Power Customer Service to plead for an adjustment, a rep kept me waiting 15 min. before telling me the manager was busy and would call me back. Well, he hasn't, so I'm writing this review instead. If I had stayed with my local electric company, BGE, instead of shopping for bargains, I'd be well ahead of the game. As is it, American Power managed to trap me for ONLY 2 MONTHS in a rate twice BGE's, and managed to get back from me ALL MY SAVINGS WITH THEM and MORE BESIDES -- all CONCENTRATED in just ONE! UNAFFORDABLE! monthly bill this month. I'm smarting, not smart: call me penny-wise and pound-foolish. DON'T YOU BE!!! Don't trust American Power's "discounts." Rather, fear their gouging (see pic).

North American Power - Utilities Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

A door to door salesman visited me recently to sell me NAP's service. Because of his accent, I thought that he was doing some sort of verification about my utility service. It wasn't until about 5 minutes later that I realized that he was selling me a new service, so against my better judgement, I decided to go along and sort it out later. Their introductory rate is 25% less for electricity and 89% more for gas than what I'm currently paying. Between their rates, unconventional marketing methods, and the fact that they don't even have the good sense to hire salesmen and phone representatives who can be clearly understood, I decide to rescind the contract within the allowed period. They haven't responded to my email. Also, one of Yelp's reviews says that they have an A rating with the BBB. I checked, and the BBB says that they have no rating. Based on my experience, and the other Yelp reviews, I'd say to pass on this company. read more

Wish I could give zero stars. These guys are a pack of thieves. The first rate is competitive, but they will not notify at the end of term and bang you with a variable rate. Every other outfit's variable rate is below the fixed rate currently for obvious reasons. These rip-off artists variable rate was 66% higher. Ya'll should do yourself the favor and switch to another supplier. If you don't mark your calendar, and miss the window by a month, you'll wipe out any past savings you might have received. That is their business plan. Avoid the bait & switch altogether; use anyone else. Cheers JT read more

They truly are deceptive and will quickly more than double your rate without notification. Do not use this company. There has to be more honest competitors. They are not the cheapest as many other companies offer lower rates. Consider them. read more

Got a great rate. BUT!...If you sign up for the introductory rate....MAKE SURE you cancel or move BEFORE it expires or they will GOUGE you for months dragging their feet before you get switched over. We need a class action attorney to take this on. I have filed with the attorney generals office for unscrupulous business practices. read more

What a rip off. Rates skyrocketed after a short while of low rates. Been losing hundreds of dollars for such a long time. I had no idea I've been paying so much more than my neighbors. What crooks. read more

Run as far as you can from this electric supplier. My electric rate was double the price to compare rate of PPL 7.31 vs. NAP 13.99. The rate was charged without prior notice. read more

Agree with others here. Not a great company! They charge double the rates once your contract elapses without, in my opinion, adequately informing you the contract is expired. I was told (by customer support) they do the bare minimum required of informing their customers (1 letter by mail just asking for call). Be careful and review terms if you plan on using these guys read more

This company is Disgusting!! After our contract expired our rate Went Through the Roof!!! So after paying them for Two Years that's the Disrespect we get. Please Avoid this company. They're Terrible!! read more

A $16 million settlement has been reached with North American Power & Gas in a class action lawsuit claiming that the company made false statements about its electricity and natural gas rates. Several class action lawsuits claimed that North American Power & Gas (NAPG) made misleading statements about the company's rates. In addition, plaintiffs allege NAPG's rates were not based on market related factors or prevailing market rates as promised in their contracts to consumers. The North American Power & Gas class action lawsuits alleged that after hooking customers with a low introductory "teaser" rate, the company then charged "exorbitantly" high premiums despite telling consumers that their rates after the teaser period would be related to prevailing market rates. read more

The company did well during the contract period. When the contract ended they stated I would be on a variable rate. It was higher, but still affordable. I began to look for the best company to sign a new contract with for a lower rate. When I found a new company, they sent the transfer notice to North American Power to let them know I was ending service with them. North American Power proceeded to more than doubled my rate that very month. When brought to their attention they stated I was made aware of the variable rate. Variable rate really meant, gouge you once you make a decision to leave. I have reached out to the BBB as well. I would highly recommend staying away from this company. read more

Avoid the switch to North American Power. I switched back to JCPL in February, 2017. Now my JCPL electric bill rate is 25% lower than with NA Power. Average JCPL rate I paid is 0.1488 $/kw-hr. Average NA Power+JCPL Delivery rate was 0.1993 $/kw-hr. Got a 25% electric bill reduction with just JCPL Generation and Delivery. read more

I gave 2 stars because customer service was nice considering I never enrolled in the first place. I live in Ohio and when they knocked on my door I started to sign up and then changed my mind. I told the guy at my door I wasn't interested and he said he would discard the paperwork. What really happened was he enrolled me anyway under a different phone number and probably had the VISA gift cards sent to himself. I noticed when my bill almost doubled. So, upset, I called to cancel. I spoke with Jacob who said they would start an investigation as to how and why I was enrolled and would waive the termination fee for cancelling early. He was very apologetic and I can't blame this guy for what the other guy did. I won't be answering my door to this company again though. I'm out a couple hundred dollars because the knocker did not do as I asked. read more

Not even worth one star. They use all kinds of tricks and gimmicks to convince you that you are benefitting from a more competitive power market as well as becoming more environment friendly. They only save you money for a limited time and then switch their costs by month. They claim their bills are easy to understand and help save money, but they organization of costs just makes it difficult to compare what you would have saved by staying with your previous provider. I was never contacted about my contract ending or offered a new contract price. I spent way too much for way too long. Do not trust this company! read more

Bait and switch company. They don't allow you to access your account easily, don't answer the phone or return phone calls.

Completely unethical - gave a fixed rate and then did not notify when period was up and given I did not check, I was for many months paying over double what my generation provider charged. For example, $0.18 vs. $0.08 cents. read more

A terrible company. I wish I read the reviews prior. Bait and switch. Get you in with a low rate. After 10 months they send a letter in an unmarked envelope, bulk mail, typical junk mail that tells you that you are no longer in contract price. Which they never said I was in contact price to begin with. They make themselves look like a scam after you sign up so you will ignore their mail. After 10 months your price goes up and unless you pay attention, you will pay double your local energy rate!!! please don't switch to them. read more

Was a customer for years, they raised my variable rate to 18.9 cents per kil right after contract expired. I Don't recommend at all.

Add me to the list of people that signed up for a good rate, let it expire, and they jacked my rate from .059 to .119! Also when the service first started I had signed up for the .059 rate but they initially started charging me something like .074 and I had to call and get a credit issued for a couple months at the incorrect rate. Ultimately I decided to go back to Duke as my energy supplier because any savings I received over the past year were quickly undone by the doubling of my electric rate. I would strongly recommend avoiding North American Power. read more
