Why choose QFB?
Hear from the leaders who trust us to simplify utilities and deliver lasting value.
“When QFB came on board and helped us reduce our costs, it had a significant impact. They’re looking at the market 24/7, something we simply don’t have the bandwidth to do.The savings we’ve achieved, especially through efficiency projects and incentives, have been a huge help to our bottom line.”
“QFB was recommended to us, and to be honest, it’s been a great experience.”
“What we’ve seen with other energy companies is, it’s more of an annual meet and greet. They lock you in at a rate, and that’s pretty much all you hear from them until the following year. That is not QFB Energy; this is far from what they provide for us.”
