  15. Guardian used to be responsive to our needs when it came to tenant changes. Guardian has been implementing a new portal over what seems like 2 years, perhaps more. This is not the same company it once was a few years ago. There has been …

  16. I love Michelle Hayes. She has great Customer Service and explains everything in detail without making you feel stupid. Thank You Michelle for all your help. JZA Realty Investments

  23. Website is terrible. Can’t setup a bank transfer pay without a random error whereas paying with a credit card (w/ 3$ “convenience” fee) works fine. Have to register multiple accounts if they are in charge of multiple utilities.

  27. This is probably the worst run company in existence. Looking at other reviews I see that it is not just me dealing with expensive faulty meter installations and incorrect submeter readings. I am not sure how they get away with it. They are basically stealing peoples money.

  28. I am a 10 year resident at The Commons at Victoria Village, in 2015 my water bill practically quadrupled over night, I went from paying $40 – $50ish a month to paying $179 consistently ($120 – $179) every month for over a year well into …

  34. Jessica Sanders is my account rep for a 34 unit apartment building in Seattle. She made on boarding incredibly simple, and has been a great resource ongoing. I would highly recommend her.

  35. This company has been horrible about recording the proper dates getting the right names we own several apartments they don’t acknowledge the emails that I sent for new tenants with water meter readings we constantly get no movement. Personally they are one of the worst companies I have had to ever deal with.

  36. Guardian Water & Power handles the water billing at the community I manage and Jessica Sanders has been wonderful to work with! She is very prompt to address any billing issues and always answers any questions I have. Thank you, Jessica! 🙂

  44. Avoid this company unless you want angry tentants! Skips billing due to “equipment errors” so you get two or more months on one bill. Phone support is sometimes rude as well. Signed up for e-billing, they did not send a paper or electronic …

  45. Just recently had my electric shut off on the 22nd of this month and was able to pay my bill Friday. I spoke to someone around 3:30ish yesterday and the lady said someone will be out by 5 to turn my electric back on well as soon as I left …

  49. I often call to discuss my bill and I spoke with Krystal Brown. She was very helpful even surprisingly calm when I tried to challenge her about some issues I had. After, we shared some jokes, all because of her great customer service.

  50. Best customer service goes to Krystal!!! I called to inquire about a bill and she was extremely helpful and so patient with me, answering every question I had. We all need more people like her; compassionate, hard working and dedicated to helping others. Keep up the great work Krystal!!

  51. They have increased my water bill by 50 dollars in the last 3 months my water usage hasn’t changed. They are thieves and I keep getting late fees when it was paid on time. Worst company in the world taking Advantage of people.

She was very prompt with getting back to me and helped me with all my concerns. I would definitely recommend Guardian Water and Power for a sub metering company.

  72. Great company. I think a lot of the negative reviews are because people misunderstand what Guardian does. They send you the bill, they don’t determine what you pay. Your landlord and the city decided what you pay, Guardian just sends the info to you. They work hard to resolve issues quickly too.

  88. I have been with Guardian Water for 14 years. Over those years I have been assigned to 6-7 different service representatives that were responsible for my 62 accounts. I do not know if the problems were with the representatives or something …
