Try to get with them again and they told me my service was activated and then later on they told me something critical is wrong with my service order, then I try calling them it goes straight to a bot waited for an hour and it kept saying agent were still dealing with people, then I reached out on email and then they told me I needed a city permit for my meter to be activated and they couldn’t do anything about it, my neighbors didn’t even need permit or inspections so what do I need it for.
Response: Hi Jvonerson, Thank you for sharing your experience in detail. It sounds like you received mixed information about your service—first being told it was activated, then that there was a critical issue—and had a difficult time getting through to a live representative while trying to sort it all out. I can see how confusing it is to then be told a city permit is required, especially when others nearby didn’t seem to need the same step. When it comes to service activation, permit requirements are typically determined by the city or utility provider based on factors like the meter’s history, property status, or prior service conditions. Even within the same neighborhood, those requirements can differ from one address to another, which is why your account may be flagged differently than your neighbors’. The most effective way to move forward is to have your specific service order reviewed so the exact reason for the permit requirement can be clarified and you can get clear guidance on what’s needed next to complete activation. (Please reach out to our Customer Care Team at 1-888-963-9363 during standard business hours which are Monday through Friday 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.) Our goal is to help get this resolved so your service can be completed without further confusion, Jvonerson. Published on May 27, 2026
This is literally the worst light company have ever had , I started service with them and till am typing for almost 7 hours they haven’t giving me no light and o called it’s just bullshit I have to wait 6 hours again cos the first order was cancelled . It’s ridiculous of yah can’t do your job till now I still don’t have light I wait and if it doesn’t come up am canceling my plan
Response: Victor, I’m hearing how frustrating this has been—waiting hours for your service to come on, calling in, and then finding out the original order was canceled would test anyone’s patience. You expected your lights to be on, and that didn’t happen. What you’ve described isn’t the experience we want for you, especially when starting new service. Delays like this and unclear updates can make it feel like no one is taking ownership, and that’s not acceptable. Let’s get this resolved as quickly as possible. Our Customer Care Team can review your account, confirm what happened with the canceled order, and push through the activation or next steps right away. Please reach out to them at 1-888-963-9363, Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, so they can take a deeper look and get your service up and running. Your time matters, and we want to get you taken care of. Published on May 27, 2026

Call never got answered but I paid anyways. Does that mean my power is turned on today?
Response: Hi Rylee, We appreciate you sharing this and for the 5-star rating—it means a lot. I see that your call wasn’t answered, but you went ahead and made your payment and are checking if your power will be turned on today. That’s an important question, especially when you’re expecting service to start the same day. Generally, once payment is processed, your request begins moving forward, but the exact timing for service activation can vary depending on your account details and order status. The best way to confirm your service start for today is to have your account reviewed in real time so everything can be verified. (Please reach out to our Customer Care Team at 1-888-963-9363 during standard business hours which are Monday through Friday 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM or by email at [email protected].) We’re here to help make sure everything is set up just as expected, Rylee. Published on May 27, 2026
