Sagging wires after repair from fallen tree

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.

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?!

Mass Energy Electric Scam

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
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!

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

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!

Eversource are crooks.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

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.

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

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.

Common Thieves stealing from customers

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

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.

No answer needs a code. I gave them a code called 'no answer' which was 601792. When I called, they needed the number on the letter sent to me.

I paid my October bill and ur billing me again

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Do not bill me twice. Actually have people answer phones and not use technology.

Why am I getting interest charges on a bill that was paid over a month ago? Confirmation number 288********.

It's bad enough that your rates are outrageous, but to charge a customer twice is inexcusable for such a large company with so much technology. Maybe have less technology and try using humans.
