DO NOT ENROLL WITH ARCADIA POWER!

DO NOT ENROLL WITH ARCADIA POWER!
Just don't do it. Very poorly run business with minimal customer support. No detailed monthly billing reflecting kW hours used so you can't determine what you are paying. We termed our contract on January 6, and they took an unauthorized withdrawal from our checking account on March 9. Avoid the headache - don't do it.

This is not a legitimate business

This is not a legitimate business. It works by scamming old people. We had some fast talking ape come to our door and demand to see our power bill. He claimed he was working "with dominion" (actual power company). When I got suspicious he started having a meltdown.

Once Decent, Now Another Middleman Trying to Take Your Money

Arcadia seemed decent when they were doing the credit/coupon thing and I wasn't getting weird, inexplicable bills from both them and my power provider. I've been trying to cancel with them and they insist I agreed to a service that could take up to 90 days to cancel, but that's not written in ANYTHING.

Gave them business for EIGHT YEARS and the last four have been me getting slowly annoyed and fed up only to now have them lying to me as I'm trying to just leave them. They sent me the documents I signed, and nowhere in them do they say anything about a cancellation period of any length, let alone 90 days.

They're blaming communication with the solar farm but also won't give me the information I need to contact them directly.

Run! Do NOT do it!

Over the first 12 months, all was well. My electric bills lined up with Arcadia's debits to my checking account. Then, for the next 11 months, they started over-debiting to the tune of 5 to 10 to 12 times the actual bill! Total over charge: $1019. I canceled in November 2025 and it took them until this month to complete the cancellation. And still the December charge was $24 over the electric bill! Unbelievable!

This started as a good company. I liked my service. I liked the idea of contributing to the green energy movement rather than exclusively relying on coal (which is my city's primary energy source).

However, as the years have passed, the company seems to have lost its capacity to run effectively. The brain doesn't know what the arms are doing and customer service has fallen to the wayside. After repeated bungling of utility bills last Fall and zero communication from Arcadia, I have decided to cancel my account that I had for 12 years. Too bad. I wish I had a better review to write.

Terrible at Listening

Arcadia claims that they will pay your entire bill and charge you the appropriate amount. What actually happens is that they charge you for the electricity they provide and nothing else. This will leave you managing 2 separate electric bills.

I have had multiple representatives claim that they would change the settings of my account to pay the full bill and charge me appropriately, but this never happened and now I owe a late fee to Pepco.

NEVER use their services if you want to have peace of mind and an easy time paying your bills

I did not find any savings with my…

I did not find any savings with my account after opting for Arcadia. In the past 3.5 years they have provided me with $2.32 as savings (shown on my profile). I decided to cancel and the customer support sais I have been receiving 5% of the total savings from solar energy. When I asked them where that money is because I have been paying the full utility bill, I was asked to contact National grid to find my savings. I have decided to just go back to National grid because I don't trust this company

Unexpected charges when told is…

Unexpected charges when told is supposed to save money on our BGE monthly with a small percentage of that portion deducted out the BGE towards their service but instead getting two bills will come up to almost $700 combined got to a point I had to cancel my bank card to prevent them from charging for the 3 months constellation.

I want to believe I am saving money…

I want to believe I am saving money here, but I just don't see it. Billing is confusing, almost 100% of the time higher than my ConEd bill shows. Customer service takes a while to get back to you, they get defensive and can not explain the cost/billing clearly.

Do Not Waste Your Time...

I signed up for this company to save via becoming a member of a local community solar farm. After over a year, I am still not a member of any community solar farm I signed up for. No sign of ever being one either. I also referred 10 people to this company where you are supposed to receive $1000. But as soon as I did that, then suddenly there are other details not completed. They change the definition of what a "referral" is so you don't get the money, but they never mention these details in their advertisements of the promotion. I spent over 4 months with a ticket opened on this issue only to get told, after all this time later, that I am not eligible to receive the money after referring 10 people. I would NEVER refer this company to anyone now. They are liars. On top of all the false advertising, I am still not a part of a community solar farm even after a year of waiting so this whole thing is a lie and a complete waste of time. Do not waste your time with this sham company.

Extremely incompetent company

At first this company seemed decent. A gentleman came to my home and explained the program and it sounded like a good set up. The first issue I had was having to turn off two factor authentication for them to be able to access my power company account directly. Then I needed to contact them to get information on how I could also access my power company account because I wanted to monitor my natural gas usage. I made the mistake of sending their customer service an email from my work computer, which automatically sent it from my work email. They pointed out that it wasn't my usual email, I apologized and put the correct email, and they communicated with me. However, contacting them once with my work email somehow got my work email permanently associated with the Stripe billing account. Then every month I received a payment confirmation email to my work email. I contacted them over multiple months explaining the problem, and each time they promised that they fixed the issue. I reached out to Stripe and they said that Arcadia could fix it, but that Arcadia would have to contact them. I shared this information with Arcadia, and was told that a manager would contact me back. Days went by, and no one contacted me back. I contacted Arcadia again and asked them about the manager calling me. They said that a manager had resolved the issue. Next month comes along and again I get the Stripe confirmation email to my work email. At this point, I was tired and contacted them to cancel my account. They told me that the cancellation could not go through immediately, and that it would take a few months. They then asked if I would agree to stay in the program if they sent me a $100 gift card. I said okay. Some time went by again, and I reached out to them to ask about the gift card. They didn't seem to have any knowledge of the gift card and said that I was put on a list. Then the month comes around that they said my cancellation would go through if the gift card didn't convince me to stay. I get notification that my account is being canceled. At this point I'm just annoyed and decide maybe that's for the best and look for a different community solar provider. Then about a week later, I get an email from Arcadia again telling me that I'm being connected to another solar farm. So I called them and asked them what the heck is going on. Once again they had no knowledge of the $100 gift card and they don't see anything about my account being canceled but that it's pending. I pointed out this might be the solution to the issue with the billing, but I need someone to communicate with me. The guy on the phone got annoyed that I was annoyed that they couldn't explain what was going on nor could they connect me with somebody who could explain what was going on and just offered to cancel my account. I agreed because I have had enough of these people. Extremely incompetent company.
