North Little Rock Electric (AR) Reviews ( 102 )

  1. Called them many times to ask why my bill was so high when I was out at home to use any energy was told my refrigerator was running asked to speak to a supervisor and was hung up on twice rude liars

  2. I put down a $100 deposit that I was told I was going to get back in one year well the year was yesterday and now I’m told since policies changed I can’t get my money back . I’m beyond pissed .

  3. Just tired of these people. Customer service has little to no power, and everything online is done through a 3rd party, so there’s a fee associated with just about everything. Too much has to be done face to face. It’s archaic and poorly managed.

  4. Very rude customer service. Even when you are as polite as possible . They are more interested in the gossip of cowoco-workers or the next text on their phone.

  5. Very unprofessional I was charged a tampering fee because someone tried to steal my meter I filled police report but is still being held responsible they disconnected my lights a day after I received my bill so I moved out of town fir a few …

  6. Wonderful customer service! Out of all the companies I’ve had to contact while moving, this was the quickest & easiest to access a live human being!!!!! Thank you

  7. Worse electric company I’ve ever dealt with took over seven hours just to fix a power outage… Where were the lineman coming from California….
    How much h longer does a person ha e to freaking wait for power geez to hot to sleep without air

  8. As someone else stated, it is extremely frustrating to have to personally go in to have either power turned or transferred. When moving to one property to another people try to minimize the amount of time out of work. There is a lot to get done…so why does something that could be easily done online made impossible?

  9. I started a new account and Farrah was both friendly and efficient. I also had almost no wait time. I don’t understand all the negative reviews

  10. Shut down my account was told it had only a balance of $7.93 and that after they read it for that day it would create a total ended up only getting $40 of my $300 deposit. Tried calling about it and the lady caught a very rude and unfriendly attitude with me

  11. I love Google except for the fact they collect info that other folks just dont need to know -for real!!!! I love Google except they are constantly making me change my passwords cause I cant use the same one more than once ,DAH. .I cant do …

  12. This company will send you billing notices, emails and letters all day. However, If there is any kind of discrepancy they will not notify you at all. They will just cut your power. Website and payment portal are terrible. Very unprofessional. They need to take a lesson from Entergy Arkansas

  13. Worst utility company of all time. I’ve been shut off two months consecutively now with absolutely no notice, bills etc. They truly don’t care about their customers one bit. They go above and beyond to prove that as a fact. I hate this company, but not as much as they hate me.

  14. North Little Rock Electric is the absolute worst electric company. I’m hoping to move, so I won’t have use their services. Unfortunately, I had to give them one star, they don’t even deserve that. Too bad electricity is a need.

  15. My bill went from $125.00 to $400.00 to $900 in a 10 day span. I went to the office and was told maybe I have a draft. I wasn’t even at home during the time they claimed I used this certain amount of electricity. Their last answer was maybe someone is stealing your power I thought yes NLR Electric is.

  16. Horrible policies. Shut me off for simply not turning in a letter of good credit on time (I was out of town and did not have access to my mailbox). Turned in the letter pre shut off but was still shut off. Really? The clerk told me she had the letter but didn’t know why I was shut off. Your NLR electric systems and policies suck.

  17. Been on hold for ten minutes for the second time. North Little Rock Electric has an internal error, that I have to prove is an error. I faxed them the proof to Krystal and know I can’t them to answered the phone. WOW! …

  18. My experience with NLR Electric has been quite the downgrade from SWEPCO in NWA. They’re quick to disconnect if paying your bill slips your mind for more than a day, but slow if at all with responding to requests for updates and ETR’s.

  19. Power goes out almost every time there’s a storm, two of my neighbors have installed backup generators at their houses because outages are so common. I’ve had more outages with NLR Electric in the last year than I’ve had with every other …

  20. 1. Must initiate new services IN PERSON
    2. Must initiate new services BEFORE 3P.M.
    3. If needing same day service, offer to pay “convenience fee”—they do not offer …

  21. NLR electric is the worst. If you forget to pay they will shut your power off for a miniscule bill without ever giving you a phone call or any kind of notification. Government owned so they don’t care about you. They absolutely suck.

  22. Would give zero stars if I could. Rude, money grubbing, greedy, outdated, a joke. They are years behind. I have lived here 30 years and it has gone downhill. Seems to be a lot of power outages, too. I hear loud explosions and then power …

  23. You know, on days like today when it’s hot outside, yall could be considerate enough to send out an automated text or call to let people know they may or may not be without power. Or atleast make a post warning people what’s going to happen. 38k in North Little Rock without power. Utterly ridiculous.

  24. Didn’t send any kind of bill electronic or otherwise then just shut the power off we were waiting to pay it but they said we enrolled with electronic billing which we didn’t and said it was sent to email it was not they tried to argue the …

  25. The customer representatives are more than rude. Today I called them to disconnect my account and the experience was horrible!! The Lady was the rudest lady I have ever seen in my Life!! How could they managed to get their Job at this position with this super rude mentality???

  26. I used them back in 2012 and their technology for making payments and setting up accounts was so out dated and antiquated. Fast forward to 2016 and had to use them again to set up an account and not much has changed. You can now pay …

  27. Minus the very nice lady I spoke with on the phone NLR Electric is by far the worst utility company that I have ever dealt with. Their billing system is horrible. The rates keep getting higher and higher. The city of North Little Rock needs to make some changes and look for another electric company.

  28. NLR Electric moved our neighborhood to meters with an internet-based switch that they could control remotely. They STILL charge a $50 fee to have your power switched back on, which previously was supposed to be to cover the cost of sending …

  29. I’ve had nothing but good experiences dealing with NLR electric. They’re pleasant on the phone and when outages happen, they are helpful and friendly. Not sure why so many people left such scathing reviews.

  30. Don’t bother calling. You will get a recording over and over and over telling you if you are reporting an outage to call ….. Repair crews are awesome. Customer Service isnt.

  31. They do not cater to Active Duty Military. They don’t disclose the fees of coming after 330pm to get your power turned on. Every single customer service rep is absolutely horrible. They simply do not care. I made LRAFB leadership aware and I will be filling a complaint with the BBB and any agency I can think of.

  32. Company is only money hungry and not understanding during difficult times in an individual’s life. You have to beg more than once for an arrangement. You have to go in person to set up new services. Online payment portal access is …

  33. Have tried multiple times to register for an online account to pay my bill; every time I try and click register to move forward it says “The page you have requested does not exist”. When I call the NLR Electric they simply play phone tag …

  34. After reading the reviews, I was worried about using this provider. To my surprise, the staff was extremely polite and I got my new service and auto pay setup within 20 minutes. Susan was very helpful in answer all my questions and concerns …

  35. To be fair, I haven’t lived in a lot of locales so I don’t have vast experience with varied utilities companies. I can say that the ladies at the service desk have always been nice – but everyone else looks like they hate their lives and …

  36. Honestly if I could leave no stars it would happen!! They shut our power off with no past due balance just our current bill then proceeded to make us pay extra to have it turned back on…. what a joke for a company especially with …

  37. NLR electric wasn’t bad for the year I used them. I had to put a $300 deposit down, but after paying my bill on time every month they subtracted my nexts two bills from it. I got $162 back. It was a nice surprise, since I didn’t think I was …

  38. Absolutely garbage. Outrages shut off fees and reconnect fees and hidden “deposits” for reconnect. I have never been with a utility company that cared so little for its customers. Rude workers. Predatory fees left and right. Disconnects …

  39. I established autopay so I would never miss my payments and then NLR electric changed to a new account system. I was NEVER informed by mail, phone or e-mail about any new changes or information telling me to re-start my autopay on the new …

  40. Had NLR electric for a year at my apartment, no issues what so ever, billing was handled with auto draft so I didn’t have to worry about it. Called today to have service disconnected because I have moved and was able to get that scheduled …

  41. They recently changed up their billing system, shutting off ALL their AutoPays and I guess losing everyone’s mailing address (weird) because I never got a notification and was three weeks from getting disconnected before a friend in the …

  42. This company is the worst company I have ever encountered. I called and canceled my services 1/31/2016 and gave the representative my forwarding address to mail my deposit refund to. They still mailed my refund to my old address. I finally …

  43. Always request paper billing as the automatic payments shut off without explanation every 6 months or so and you don’t realize and they shut off your power. The electricity service is lackluster as any small breeze causes a loss of power …

  44. Service: It has been great. Outages are handled quickly, and customers are kept up to date on outage areas with maps and alerts. Customer Service: On the phone I seem to get the same lady when I call. She is calm and gives the info. I ask …

  45. If I could go into the negative for stars I would. Nickle and dime you on everything, terrible customer service, and nothing but automated tellers unless you want to spend 30 plus minutes waiting for a human because “all customer service reps are busy.” They are ALWAYS busy and all most always have an attitude.

  46. I wish I could give them negative 5 stars. I lived in a 740 sq ft apartment, 1 bedroom, just me. And my electric bill was near 200 per month. I kept my heat at 71-72 and work full time so my lights and everything were turned off for the …

  47. Absolutely the worst electric company to ever exist. Was all setup on autopay and had a few bills go through fine, then they decided to mail out a past due notice to everyone mentioning nothing of the fact that they completely wiped out …

  48. I think is is very important to rate this business. They deserve no stars and I am basing that on dealing with over 5 different electric companies due to moving every couple of years. Their approach is lacking in everything one would expect …

  49. Horrible electric company! What type of business turns off light services in the middle of the summer with absolutely no warning? I was out of town for a week making funeral arrangements and I came back home to a fridge full of maggots. Had …

  50. Worst electric company I’ve ever had to deal with! I do not recommend anyone to use this company. Like so many others have said the customer service is absolute trash. They will cut your power off without any warning on a Sunday? Never in my life have I seen a company ran like this. COMPLETE GARBAGE! Wish I could put 0 stars.

  51. Absolute horrible customer service. Very unprofessional, my lights were turned on without giving them the go ahead and now it’s my fault because they billed to early. I didn’t get the option to go with “pay as you go” now I’m stuck with a …

  52. VERY VERY UPSET!!! Pregnant with two dogs and I paid days ago to get my service turned back on. Talked to two-three separate people that kept reassuring we would have power by the end of the day BEFORE THE BAD SNOW. Kept trying to get In …

  53. Awful company. You are required to go their office in person to set up a new account. Frequent power outages that can last hours. Awhile back they completely changed their online billing system. However, they seemingly did not give anyone …

  54. I stayed on the phone for 1 hour and still holding the phone now as the office have now closed and I keep getting this message stay on the line and someone will be with you shortly and I even placed a call back instead of holding the line but no one have yet to call me. I totally hate north Little Rock electric

  55. Very poor communication with billing information. Hardly ever get a bill through the mail. It was a known problem acknowledged by the company earlier this year. I submitted my address as being one where I don’t receive bills. No …

  56. Hands down worst customer service you can have from a utility provider. Unprofessional and very dated in the way they collect payment. Would be willing to pay double for electrically just to go through entergy or a different provider …

  57. One of the worst companies in central Arkansas. Horrible customer service and their contractors (Asplundh Tree Experts) they hire for tree and a shrub removal around power lines literally cut trees in half and will leave you yard an absolute mess with branches, leaves, cups and other trash.

  58. If I could give them no stars I would. This system of praying on the poor has to stop and I pray in the name of Jesus the company crashes or accidentally deposits millions into customers accounts. Poor service no options here in Arkansas. Just wack

  59. Absolute crooks. There’s no way I went from a $180 bill to a $400 bill the last two months. Someone needs to look into nlr electric and the agreement they have with the city of North Little Rock. There’s definitely something illegal going on in both offices.

  60. We’re from IA and AR is decades behind. IA focuses on customer convenience and experience. AR only has complications for everything. 2 dogs 4 cats, 1 baby and I’m pregnant and they cut us from electric. No warnings. …

  61. Terrible service. Makes up usage when you are not even in your apartment or out of town. Now as I turn my heat on a minimal setting before I go to bed it’s a major difference in a one bedroom apartment. Absolutely unacceptable. I am not …

  62. I have never seen a company that represents a city being ran so poorly. I had my Meter pulled at my complex due to a fire that I was burned with 3rd degree burns over almost 50%of my body in the hospital for a month Rehabilitation for …

  63. The office has been closes since the start of Covid. Now the drive-through service has been permanently closed. Do you have to do a money gram in order to pay your bill, also this company has charged my card with my online payments being …
