Sagging wires after repair from fallen tree

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - A tree caused outage; Eversource cut and repaired wires; severed aircraft cable and sagging wires remain hazards; follow-up responsibility unclear.
Eversource Energy - Sagging wires after repair from fallen tree
Eversource Energy - Sagging wires after repair from fallen tree - Image 2

About a couple of weeks ago, a large fallen tree caused a power outage on our street (Wellington Heights Road, Avon, CT). Eversource contractors cut down the tree, and Eversource repaired the wire damage.

However, the steel aircraft support cable that supports the wires remains severed, and the wires are badly sagging, especially in front of 40 Wellington Heights Road.

The dangling aircraft suspension cable poses a safety danger to children at the school bus stop, and the sagging electrical wires are a safety hazard also. Who is responsible for the follow-up repairs?

User's recommendation: Eversource needs to follow-up after storm related repair.

Need to get my bill not just the amount I owe

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - -Couldn't reach support after four calls; zip was wrong and paperless billing blocked access, but a different number fixed it so I could view online.

I could not reach anyone to see my bill, called four times and waited for over 90 mins twice (no answer) and asked them to call me back twice and they never did. They entered the wrong zip code on my account and I had opted in for paperless billing so I could not access/add my account to see my bill.

I finally got through on a different pissed customer number, but it wasn't the main customer service line, and at least the agent was able to help me identify the wrong zip code they had recorded for my house so I could get online and see/pay my bill. I've never had to work so hard to pay someone!

Pros:
  • Are a monopoly for electrical energy on the cape
Cons:
  • Its near impossible to speak with someone if you need

User's recommendation: Make sure everything on your AC is accurate so you don't have to reach them - because they don't answer their phone

Unsatisfied-disappointed customer

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - I am barely paying my own bills and Eversource added charges called PUBLIC BENEFITS.
  • - I do not think it is my responsibility to pay for others.
Eversource Energy - Unsatisfied-disappointed customer

Work my off to just get by paying my own bills and barely doing so, then Eversource feels the right to tact on more $$$ for what they call PUBLIC BENEFITS for those who don't feel the need to pay their way or share. This is bull! Why is it my responsibility for others who dont feel the need to get a job and mooch off the state?!

Preferred solution: Price reduction

User's recommendation: Stop allowing this to happen- put up a stink!!!

Mass Energy Electric Scam

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Massachusetts energy providers charge extra fees to cover revenue.
  • - Solar customers face many fees on bills; regulation is needed and oil is cheaper.
Eversource Energy - Mass Energy Electric Scam

Massachusetts & energy providers like Eversource are running a great scam! Even with solar, they will charge "extra" fees to make up lost revenue.

I have never seen so many fees on any bill in my life. This needs to regulated, look at all these bs fees!!!

ITS CHEAPER TO USE OIL NOW!!! Clean energy in this state is a hustle!

Resolved: Stealing from money from consumers with their price increases.

  • - The reviewer cites an $18.5M CEO salary and rate hikes.

Complete.

Original review updated Jan 07, 2025

The CEO's 18.5 million dollar salary more rate increases. Eversource, receiving 300 million dollars a year from the state of Connecticut supposedly to better the quality, is essentially stmoney for themselves! This has got to end now!

Should be 0 stars. You're thieves

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - I'm billed for others who didn't pay their bills.
  • - I can't afford these prices; stop the public benefits charge and go after those who didn't pay.

I've never missed a payment, but I have to pay for other people who didn't pay their bills? This is criminal.

I can't afford these prices. You're stealing from paying customers to cover for those who didn't pay! I'm a single mother. I need my paycheck for myself, not to pay other people's bills!

Stop the public benefits charge now! Go after those who didn't pay!

Loss:
$500
Cons:
  • Terrible service

Eversource are crooks.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Eversource is accused of monopoly in MA and gas ownership with rising delivery fees.
  • - Budget plan is useless and illegal activity must be stopped.

Eversource was allowed to monopolize by our MA governor. They now own the gas company too.

And of course, they sent notices of that increasing as well. They are greedy and sneaky with their wild fees. Something better be done about this. We are freaking sick of their overpriced delivery fees.

And their budget plan is useless! Their illegal activity must be stopped.

Loss:
$3000
Cons:
  • Unregulated crooks they bought the mayor

Preferred solution: Price reduction

User's recommendation: We are fast reaching the point of a revolt.

Added fees, including ones we cannot opt out of, are a killer

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Unavoidable transmission, delivery, and public-benefits costs.
  • - On a single income, bills stay high.
  • - The bill was over $300 while I was away.

My usage alone is a reasonable cost given the season, but adding the transmission, local delivery, and public benefits costs (that we CANNOT opt out of) are absolutely annihilating me, and on a single income, it isn't cute. I barely run my heat as is in an attempt to keep the cost down, but to keep from literally freezing, I at least need to keep it at 55 degrees.

Even at that, my bill was over $300 recently, and I wasn't home for 2 weeks!

Absolute robbery, and I hate using that phrase. Do better, Eversource.

User's recommendation: Find a different company ASAP

Common Thieves stealing from customers

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Reviewer accuses Eversource executives of padding pockets.
  • - December bill exceeded $800; $262 electricity, $275 public benefits, rest delivery.

Eversource is the most crooked company run by executives whose only purpose is to pad their pockets. December bill was $800+ of which only $262 was elrctricity - the rest was delivery/transmission, PLUS $275 public benefits. They take full advantage of New England customers knowing theres no other choice.

User's recommendation: Move out of Eversource supply region. They’re miserable with terrible management.
