This means that clients can expect that the company will work towards finding a mutually satisfactory resolution to any concerns. The Power Company listens carefully to client concerns and sees them as an opportunity to learn from past mistakes and become more efficient as a company in the services offered and the support for those services.
The Power Company's principal, Mr. Patrick Farah, has informed us that his personal philosophy is that his clients success are the heart of the business. As a successful businessman, Patrick Farah feels it is critical to listen to his clients and respond properly. By always putting his customers first, Patrick Farah hopes to maintain The Power Company as a successful enterprise both now and for many years to come. Another top executive, Cheryl Arts told us that Patrick Farah's personal business philosophy is based on the premise that "strives to add value in service, understanding that a successful business model is based on value-added services, and client care". The Power Company's Steve Brewer says this, "We are one of the top energy companies for helping businesses and residents budget their electric and gas needs. With us, you'll always receive a comprehensive and customized approach to our analysis that comes from a team who consistently stays on top of the energy markets and adapts them to fit the financial needs of businesses and residents around the country."
One of the things Ripoff Report learned in the course of its review is that typical customer feedback reads, "The Power Company truly communicate all aspects of the service in a timely and effective manner.

The information provided in this report below is based on comments made by Patrick Farah during an onsite inspection held by a third party verification company with no biases towards The Power Company.
The Power Company is an energy broker that acts as a customer advocate for energy and the deregulation of energy states. Their passion drives them to become energy experts and provide their expertise through education. Patrick Farah stated the following about his company, "we have contracts with over 40 suppliers and we have them compete against each other for your business. We have the most competitive pricing and we cater to the particular business. Because we do a lot of volume your deal is not the deal that will help us eat that month, a lot of companies in the energy business are like a mom and pop shop and if they don’t close the deal they are not going to be able to pay their bills and put food on the table. In 2016, we did over 2,369 new commercial customers and over 64,000 new residential customers. Because of the volume that we do we can be very aggressive in the marketplace to be able to do the best work for our customers and try to get them the best deal in their market."
The Power Company attempts to incorporate as many facets of sales that are available. On the commercial side, they have strategic relationships with cost reduction companies for referrals and introductions to larger corporations. On the smaller commercial side, they have a sales staff that researches and educates leads. For residential properties, they have a call center and door to door sales team. Mr. Farah explained the sales process once the client has decided to proceed with their product, "there is a third-party verification company that calls the customer back and verifies the info on the agreement whether it’s 6 months to 18 months on what the locked-in rate would be. Then our quality control department double checks the process, the recorded calls, the third-party verification company call, then the quality control department double checks everything and it is sent to the specific supplier. After that other than making sure the QA was set, and everything was said properly, it's deemed a good sale, the supplier does the actual switch, and the service of the making sure your power is on is on the poles and wires company. So, whoever you pay your bill to is the poles and wires company, they send you a bill and the rate you agreed to would be on your bill, and poles and wires would do their charges which are separate and then finally the taxes."
CUSTOMER CARE & COMPLAINT RESOLUTION – THE POWER COMPANY
During the on-site interview, Mr. Farah was asked to describe a situation where a client was not satisfied with the level of service they received. Mr. Farah expressed that they rarely receive complaints due to their no cancellation and termination fees policy. This policy puts most of their customers at ease with their decision. He further stated, "the only thing someone could be upset at is why did someone come to my door or call my phone. We have quality and control in effect for that. So, we have a do not knock list for the door to door [service] and we have the national do not call list that we scrub against before we ever call anyone. So, we have these things in place for that."
When asked to comment on complaints posted on Ripoff Report's website Mr. Farah expressed that the comments were made by disgruntled past employees of a previous company. He additionally expressed that the comments were not in reference to his company, but personal attacks on him and current employees of The Power Company, "they think I wrote a Ripoff Report about them, so they wrote a Ripoff Report about me. Saying I steal money from children and I am a conman. These are personal attacks and there is no merit in the attacks on The Power Company and my name personally." Mr. Farah expressed that if any past or current client has an issue with their services he is happy to attend and resolve the issue. In order to further assure future and current clients, The Power Company is licensed in the state of Ohio and Illinois as an energy broker. They additionally have the ability to do business in 9 total states.
When asked what type of changes they have made to honor their commitment to making things right with the consumer per the request of Ripoff Report, Mr. Farah stated, "we’ve always made best efforts to have a very strong training problem so that our sales person can be as informed as they can be. We have really strong quality control department that we put in place that keeps getting robust as we get bigger and have more resources we keep adding to our quality control and our training and reviews from energy advisers so that if we were to have customer issues we would be able to find out what they are right away and get them handled right away."
The Power Company is proud to be a part of Ripoff Reports Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program, "whatever decisions you make they can be unmade. So, we want the chance to answer any questions or solve any misunderstandings without it being a permanent record out there with somebody saying horrible things about my staff or myself without a chance to face the accuser. We really care about our customers we try to stay abreast of, the forefront of the marketplace so we can do the best for our customers. Have the proper quality control and customer service in place so we are there for them to help them with their energy needs, help them with their budgeting properly whether it’s a small apartment to an entire village, an entire city, or high-rise, or manufacturing facility. Everyone uses electrons, everybody uses energy we just want to be able to provide the best services for everybody out there."

They cheat and steal from their salespeople they manipulate their energy suppliers BY falsifying drug tests and background checks to gain illegal, unqualified and convicted door to door sales people in the name of GREED “not all sales people but a damaging percentage”
Patrick Farah and Steve Brewer have Doug Hargon in charge of their DIRECT ENERGY residential department who is also Human Resource Manager with no previous experience NONE he also has a criminal record and is known as an active drug addict and drunk

The Power Company is comprised of passionate and ethical individuals who work together as a team, in its true sense, and strives to do their very best for their clients. Make no mistake, we are all involved to succeed, and that can only be accomplished when our clients are satisfied with their results. TPC has contracted over 100,000 clients in the last 3 years and have saved their clients millions of dollars on their energy expenses.
One of the Team's most impactful achievements is employing hundreds of agents that have had an abundance of success and TPC has positively affected the lives of those people. The success stories are many and a visit to the Chicago office on any given morning will prove to be a great testament of that fact. We open our doors to anyone wishes to witness the positive training of the team and the implementation of the quality sales policies.
This Report was submitted by a discontented employee who was terminated when it was uncovered that he was also, for months, working with another firm and stealing confidential information and tortuously interfering with client contracts. TPC proactively hired one of the largest and most prestigious private investigation firms to assist with the process of handling this situation. The lead investigator has given TPC glowing reports.
TPC has also proactively brought a legal action against this individual and has won its case in the court of law. PRHL, the parent company of The Power Company is a public company. It is headed by a team of executives that has decades of experience and resumes to prove a number of success stories. The Board consists of esteemed professionals. One Member earned three Master’s degrees, his Ph.D., and has a Nobel Peace Prize to his credit. Another Board Member was the Director of Bicoastal Corporation (formerly Singer Corp.) at which time it was the second largest brand in the world.
All are also passionate about doing their best for the shareholders, employees and, most importantly, clients of the operating companies.
The Power Company Team is proud of the thousands of clients for which we have saved money and the hundreds of employees/agents and their families for whom we have had a positive impact on their lives. We stand on our history and look forward to continuing our substantial growth and positive works in the future.
