Jon Skips the Stress with Energy Ogre

For Houston resident Jon C., electricity bills were once a source of ongoing confusion and frustration. Despite his best efforts, Jon found himself spending hours each year trying to decipher the complex Texas electricity market, only to end up with bills that seemed inexplicably high.

“My energy bill before Energy Ogre felt like it was always super expensive, and I could never sort of put my finger on why that was,” Jon recalls. “It was always a confusing and frustrating process for me.”

Being a father of two sons and an active member of his community, he simply didn’t have the time to keep up with the ever-changing rates and plans available in the deregulated electricity market. Having moved from California, he was unprepared for the “hustle and hassle” of shopping for a good deal in Texas.

A Friend’s Recommendation

The turning point came when a friend, already an Energy Ogre member, shared his positive experience. Intrigued by the prospect of outsourcing the headache of electricity plan shopping, Jon did some research and quickly decided to sign up.

“I was so tired of the hustle and the hassle of trying to find an energy company [with] a good rate,” he says. “It took hours every year to try and figure out how to reduce my energy bill and get the right company.”

The sign-up process, he notes, was refreshingly simple. “You put in your information, and it took just a few minutes.”

Why Join Energy Ogre?

Convenience Meets Savings

For Jon, the appeal of Energy Ogre was twofold: convenience and cost savings. The service promised to handle all the legwork—a great offer for someone with a busy schedule. “Having an organization that deals with energy companies and does all of it for you was a huge time saver for me.”

Since becoming a member in 2018, Jon has seen tangible results. He describes his family as “average energy users,” but the savings have been anything but average.

“When summer was coming around, I was excited to see what kind of savings Energy Ogre would give to me. It was in the hundreds of dollars just for the summer alone. Totally worth it right away.”

Reliable Service and Ongoing Satisfaction

Jon’s positive experience extends beyond just savings. In over six years as a member, he’s only needed to contact customer service once, and the issue was resolved within a day.

“My problem, whatever it was, was solved in a day,” he says. “It was quick, easy, and painless—a far cry from my past experiences shopping for energy.”

As for the long-term impact? He learned his family has saved between 10% and 19% on their annual energy costs since joining Energy Ogre.

“Knowing that I’ve been saving over the years—10%, 15%, up to 19%—just causes me so much happiness. It’s so convenient to use this service, and then it also saves you money.”

A Service Worth Sharing

Jon is now an advocate for Energy Ogre, regularly recommending the service to friends and fellow Texans.

“It’s a minimal cost for a pretty great return,” he says. “For just $10 a month, you get experts who handle everything for you. You save time, you save money, and you get peace of mind.”

His advice to anyone considering the service is straightforward: “Try it for a year. The commitment is small, but the payoff is huge.”
