What reviews of Energywell exist?
Energywell sells a home battery and a power plan together in ComEd's area. It is new here, so the record is thin. On October 25, 2026, we found one review listing. It is on Trustindex, a service businesses use to collect and show their Google reviews.
| Date posted | Stars | What it says |
|---|---|---|
| June 9, 2026 | 5 | Good service and a fast install |
| March 19, 2026 | 5 | A pilot install, in Texas |
| March 18, 2026 | 5 | Lower bills and a battery at no cost |
| March 18, 2026 | 5 | Savings, and a backup test by the installer |
| January 7, 2025 | 5 | Stars only, no words |
All five came from Google. The listing says Energywell has claimed the profile. None of the five says it is from Illinois, and the most detailed one describes a pilot install in Texas.
We also looked for Illinois records. We could not confirm any Better Business Bureau profile for Energywell. The state also keeps a list of complaints about power suppliers. Its latest list, for November 2025 to April 2026, has no row for Fanfare Energy, which sells Energywell's power.
Reviews a company gathers for its own website work like a sales tool. A stranger who owes the company nothing gives you a truer picture.
What can a few five-star reviews prove?
Say five people all give a company five stars. That does not mean every customer is happy. With so few reviews, the true share could be far lower. Type any numbers to see the range.
This check could not start. Rule of thumb: fewer than about 30 reviews tell you very little.
This shows the range the math allows. It can't tell whether the reviews are real, from different people, or picked by the company.
Who runs the Illinois offer?
Energywell's Illinois page says your power comes from Fanfare Energy, LLC, doing business as Energywell. It lists two Illinois Commerce Commission docket numbers: 26-0011 and 26-0381. Energywell Home, LLC runs the battery side. Its mailing address is in Connecticut. It says it also holds licenses in New Jersey, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
The Citizens Utility Board's guide adds two facts. Energywell is tied to an existing power supplier, and the offer is sold through a network of advisors.
Energywell posts its Battery Service Agreement online. You can read all of it before you hand over any personal details.
What battery do you get?
Energywell installs EcoFlow OCEAN Pro batteries, 10 kWh each, and up to four at one home. That's up to 40 kWh in all. For scale, one Base Power battery holds 39.2 kWh. Energywell owns the batteries for the whole 15-year term.
Up to four EcoFlow OCEAN Pro batteries, 10 kWh each. Energywell owns them.
One Base Core battery outside near the meter, and some homes get two.
What the OCEAN Pro costs to buy and install in Texas is on our EcoFlow OCEAN Pro price guide. The Base battery is on our Base battery guide.
Where do Energywell's own pages disagree?
We read Energywell's Illinois page twice on October 25, 2026. Here is where it did not match itself, its other papers or the CUB guide.
| Where it says it | The term it gives |
|---|---|
| Energywell's Illinois page, one section | Renews after 5 years |
| Energywell's Illinois page, the FAQ | 2 years |
| Energywell's terms of service, October 1, 2026 | 24 billing cycles |
| The Citizens Utility Board's guide, July 2026 | 5 years |
- What "comparable" means. Its lowest-rate promise counts a lower rate only if it is listed on the Power to Choose website. That is the Texas plan site, not an Illinois one. Ask which list counts here.
- The deposit. CUB says Energywell charges a $99 deposit, refunded after the install and your first bill. We did not see a deposit on the Illinois offer page.
- The price. The offer page shows savings only as a percent below ComEd's price. The terms of service list cents: 7.577¢ on-peak and 7.274¢ off-peak from October 1, 2026. Ask which price is in your contract.
- The install date. Energywell says Illinois installs take longer because of permits and utility approval. It gives no timeline, and it says spots are limited.
What should you ask before you sign?
- 1Get the agreements first.
Ask for both the battery agreement and the power agreement.
- 2Ask which term is in yours.
Two years, five years, or 24 billing cycles.
- 3Get the price in cents.
Ask for on-peak and off-peak, in writing.
- 4Ask for an install date.
Also ask what happens to your power start date if it slips.
- 5Know your 10-day window.
You can cancel a supplier switch within 10 days after ComEd processes it.
- 6Read the exit costs.
CUB lists $500, or $15,000 if the battery can't be recovered. Our Base vs Energywell guide explains each case.
