Has anyone locked in with these guys? Seems to be a lot like fixed vs variable mortgages & it's my understanding variable wins out in the long run. Furthermore, i don't like the sketchy sales methods..commissioned salesmen knocking on my door, telling me i'm the only one on the block not signed up (then i see them at my neighbours' doors), stating i'm paying way more than everyone else, asking to see my gas bill & then when i question them, they read directly off the company pamphlet. Fyi, $100 to get out a contract with them.
direct energy, natural gas marketers

Nope
They are a bunch of time wasters. I hate bull-shitting sales people who pitch a bunch of half-truth crap. If you're trying to sell something to me, I want you to be upfront and direct. From my experience, the "we can save you money" sales pitch always means crappy service afterwards.

Been thru the BS of these guys but did sign up with Enmax.
Difference? Enmax had a no questions asked cancellation policy whereas Direct Energy wanted a pound of flesh and a kidney.

A Direct Energy guy approached me in my driveway as I was coming home.
He told me that Direct Energy is working in conjunction with Tereasn. Sounds like he was out-right lying. He then expected me to go into the house and get my gas bill to show him what I am paying.
I gave him my business card and offered to meet with him to formally, at my office, discuss this. The coward never followed up.
I have no issue with salesman as it part of the free market economy. I just don't like the "attitiude" and the condescending approach these guys take.
Direct Energy should be embarrassed to have guys like these representing them.
