DO NOT CHOOSE NRG!!
“ I've had NRG for over 12 months and they were only lower than DLC the first two months. My rate is 3x the DLC rate. I despise this company and their false advertising. ”

Not even one star
“ This is the worst warranty service ever, I thought car warranties were bad. I have tried to use this plan three times and not one of them was covered. I have the max plan to include appliances and carried this from my old house to new house. So going over 10 years at least. First item...dishwasher. Based on discussion over phone, would not even come look at it. Today microwave mounted, it is not covered because it is not a mounted oven. Fridge do you know where the leak is coming from....if I knew I would be calling. The money I have put in this plan all this years has been an absolute waste. Definitely one for social media. ”

Worst company I've ever encountered in my life!
“
Switched to DE after I was promised that they're cheaper and better than my previous provider.
Well, they are not! Those scammers charge more than DOUBLE as ANY other provider.
Their customer service is ridiculous and unprofessional!
Any time I go to Walmart and see people signing up for this company I tell them how I was screwed over and they cancel on the spot. I will do this EVERY time and I wont stop to educate others about this Scammer-Company.
They should be shut down immediately. ”

SCAMMERS
“ So I have not had issues in the past with this promotion and signing up with this company. They usually get you when you are in Walmart. So yesterday I signed up at the Walmart with the associate and was told Id receive a Walmart gift card for $20. Well it never arrived in my email and called them and I was told that the associate never sent it and that the customer service representative I spoke with said he couldnt issue me one that I would have to return to the Walmart and hope that the associate was there. Well I returned today and nope they were not so the whole promotion was a scam to get me to sign up. I will contacting them to remove them from my electric and I also have them with my gas. I have been a customer for years and now because they want to scam me they will lose me as a customer. I do not recommend anyone use this company because they will lie and say anything to sign u up.. ”
