  9. They just charge whatever they want. This is a monopoly and thus is illegal but Tezas still allows it because this entity is a money making machine for Texas. Texas lawmakers should ban these monopolies tio exists.

  11. The worst of the worst and we can’t do anything about it seriously. You should re evaluate the way you treat your customers and provide service because when the people have enough it will be too late.

  12. The worst company evet!!! #AMAZOM do not come here!!! This is the only electric company we have and they steal everything with their bogus fees and supposed informative calls! Thiefs -5 STARS

  13. Power went off 5 times yesterday, now its going off again today. Seems the workers are too lazy to actually solve the issue and would rather find a temporary solution.

  14. Worst customer service, bottom line they are a horrible company and utilize the fact that they are the only company to provide electricity to they’re advantage. If we could get a competitor out here it would benefit us all. El Paso Electric is GARBAGE!!!!

  16. Wouldnt even give them one star have had my electicty being stolen by the neghbor proved it thier own tech proved and still paying $500 bill for a month I was out of state for because thieves live next door

  17. I honestly think that we should have more choices to whom it provide us with our services not only this company that’s why they think they can treat people the way they do. Where is our freedom then when we really don’t have another choice but to stick with El Paso electric.

  18. Worst utility company ever! If there were another electric company in El Paso, I’d be the first one to switch! This company charges too much money for electricity and they WILL overcharge you if you don’t notice. Well I guess that’s what being a greedy Mexican can do to you in El Paso.

  19. Paying my bill online has been the biggest headache I’ve experienced in a long while. The Representative I spoke with didn’t help matters much either.

  20. Lady who called was rude saying we haven’t paid for services. As well hang up on me when I was explaining to her. People need to have manners and as well need to speak clearly.

  21. The regime of El Paso Electric Co has the most unprofessional staff I’ve ever encountered! Rude people who who THINK they’re speaking intelligently but have no clue how to use grammar and sentence structure, much less courtesy!!! Down with this monopoly!!!!

  22. Most diffuclt recording ive ever dealt with. They make you jump through hoops just to make a complaint and then they take literally forever to come turn the power back on. By far the worst company in this whole damm city!

  23. Stole money out my account!!!!!! and saying my bank declined the money for inefficient funds! But on my electric account is saying they did take my money way more then they were suppose to

  24. A BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY WITH a HUNDRED dollar WEBSITE. THEY do not even email you a receipt when you pay online.
    GOOD luck trying to to find the payment option from their home page. …

  25. in order to report a power outage, you need to enter a ton of information. when you can’t seem to get the automated system to understand a damn thing you enter, they prompt you to leave a voice message the will never return. …

  30. If I could give a negative rating I would . All 3 people I spoke with were so rude and unprofessional. They speak to customers how ever they want and it’s so ridiculous. I was grilled about my personal life. I’m a disabled veteran and my …

  31. I wish they had better payment option, also for business accounts. Online options for business accounts would be nice, but you can only pay 3 accounts every 3 days :/ don’t you want your money El Paso Electric??

  32. It shouldn’t be this hard to give these people my money. But thats what happens with you have govt propped monopolies. I also like that the only people that gave this “company” anything higher than a 2 star was some anonymous Google User …

  33. Private industry ruining a public utility. Highest rates in the country in the poorest counties. They think solar is more expensive than building and maintaining a fuel burning plant. Paying your bill is as easy as dropping a letter in your …

  35. Quite possibly the most unethical company based in El Paso and the highest utility rates in the state. Sure banking on the fact there are no choices. Be careful in the summer where your rates double to $.22 per kwh!!! Holding back Solar …

  40. I live in Colorado and own a house in El Paso, Texas. I spoke to their customer service representative Maria about getting temporary service for cleaning, re renting property, etc. Apparently they can not do that unless I present my self in …

  41. Poor customer service. Spoke with two disrespectful sarcastic staff veronica and carmen both gave an attitude and dont have any manners. They dont know how to communicate, i respected them without giving attitude back, and they still …

  42. I would give them 0 stars if I could. They know they are the only company you can get electric from and they use that to their full advantage. Absolutely 0 customer service and incredibly passive aggressive employees. From the electricians …

  43. This company is a joke! Said I would have service on a certain day certain time and it wasn’t done. The meter service man said the meter was locked or a gate was locked. No gate no locks just a flat out lie as to not walk down an alley to start the service. Its a monopoly not allowing us any other choice, but to use them.

  44. I wish the payment options to pay my monthly electric bill can be better. For someone who doesn’t have an actual check for verification purposes, the only ways to pay the bill is through Bill Matrix online, which charges a $2 convenience …

  45. Worst customer service ever. wish I could give them half a star. Had an outage not one letter or phone call that there was an outage scheduled. They had me checking my breakers then looking at the meter. Then they try and tell me that they …

  46. Unbeatable how rude the customer service representative I spoke to on the phone was. Very rude, short with answers and tells you “I not going to do it, call another number”. I can only imagine the frustration an elderly person, a new …

  47. $147 for same day reconnection!! That’s highway robbery!! Shame on you El Paso Electric taking advantage not your customers being we don’t have any other options. The monopoly lives strong in America and screwing the poor working people again! 0 stars

  48. I guess when you are monopoly you can just treat people however you want. Customer service is non existent! They are so rude and condescending. Maybe if there was a competing business, we might be able to receive better (or any!) customer care. But until then, these people are fine with screwing people over. It’s sad.

  49. What is going on with the customer service? I just want to talk to someone to confirm my balance. I haven’t heard a busy signal tone since before the turn of the century until today. How about chat support? E-mail support? Step up your game EP Electric because this is embarrassing.

  50. El Paso Electric Co Employees have Always been very polite & extremely helpful every time I’ve called them with questions or concerns about my service. Thank you

  51. Worse, I’m without service because they messed up my payment and couldn’t even get me reconnected same day. They just told me rudely they would, and no one showed to connect our power. And of course no after hour numbers. I wish their building would just collapse. These people are rude and the worse

  52. By far the laziest company I have ever seen I’ve had to call them out over five times to make sure my power is working but magically on the fifth time all the wires are loose the box burns up and then I get charge for a new meter every …

  53. Guys if you’re tired of getting increased electric bill rates and have no other choice but to pay. There’s a way to stop all that! I work with Meraki helping homeowners with this issue helping thousands in El Paso. I’m an energy consultant …

  54. Worst electric company I’ve had to deal with. We scheduled a transfer to be done and called the next day to confirm and they only said they were doing a reading. I’ve been without electric for a few days now because of this. If I could leave a 0 star review I would.

  55. So many review saying they will disconnect you without notice but if you look up Texas utility guidelines they have to give you prior notice in the form of a letter and it is to be delivered either by hand or be separate than your bill . …

  56. Poor customer service. El Paso Electric lives in the land of tomorrow and does not believe in prompt service. A solar company needs to come and provide some decent competition. I know I would leave EP Electric even if my rates were a little higher with a solar company.

  57. If I knew how to give zero stars I would. El Paso electric is one of the worst electricity companies I’ve ever dealt with. The rates are ridiculous, there payment system is absurd, and last but not least they have the worst customer service that I’ve ever had the pleasure of dealing with!

  58. This is Absolutely the WORST service ever… Customer Service sucks really bad. If I had a choice, I would not choose to live in El Paso an deal with the worst electric company ever. Do not even go out there way to help customers and other services. And dont be late paying a $50 bill cause they will cut you off quick fast in a hurry.

  59. To all homeowners who are tired of El Paso Electric charging too much for electricity, there is a much affordable program for you! I’m an energy consultant with Meraki and I can get you a quote today. Please do not hesitate to contact me and start saving money!! My business info is shown below!

  60. Power went out on a Sunday afternoon. Upon calling, I was able to talk to Esther, an EPEC representative very quickly. She sent a technician and he arrived in less than an hour to restore our power.

  61. Transformer in our area exploded last year, went down again last week the 14th of July for a blown fuse due to overload, went down again today the 21st of July, for another blown fuse due to overload. On the 14th of July after the blown …

  62. One star not even you fools, I just put it that way I could post this if you are kind to read this. Well on 11/10/16 I called to change my service to my new address they said that they doubted about me that I had to start a new service with …

  64. Our electricity was turned off last night. We have the bill on automatic withdrawal. We did not received a notice saying we were behind and that we were going to have our electricity turned off. I still don’t know if they are going to turn it back on. We paid the overdue payment.

  65. I went out of town for a few weeks, came back and had a disconnection notice in the mail. I called immediately and paid the bill. Seven days later they disconnected my electricity even though I was current, then they made me pay a …

  67. One star is too much. My bill for a one bedroom apt is almost $200 I ask for this to be investigated and its costs extra for somebody to come out and check my meter… The due date changes every month. I always try and make arrangements to …

  68. Worst electric company i have ever dealt with. Their customer service is absolutely horrible. I have never spoke with more unprofessional and rude representatives. I wish there was another choice because i would most certainly be switching. …

  69. How do I have to end up paying $97 dollars for cancelling half way through a month, then paying am additional $37 dollars the week later for “usage”. Im legitly not living there anymore!! Customer service was rude and gave nooo help at all. If there is any other option for power seek them out instead.

  70. So i got my service disconnected yesterday…
    I payed online immediately, and have a call to customer service. The first lady that attended my call didn’t even give me a chance to tell her what I needed she …

  71. I called at 559 to request my power to be turned back on. The lady said that the payment had not been posted yet. I believe that was a lie, not 30 seconds later I called and it was posted. I called back to get my power turned back on and …

  72. Called because of an outage problem but rude representative told me they would charge me a $45 charge for them to go out and check that I was better off hiring an electrician because from their computer end everything looked OK. Turns out …

  73. If I could put 0 stars I would. These people are robbers. My service recently got shut off due to no payment which I understand. The thing I don’t understand is that the only notice I got was a little piece of paper on my door that was …

  74. Complete crap. Got deployed and tried to pay off the remaining balance and they deactivated my account. Then they want to send me a finally notice saying i should pay it “or else” it will be held against me. How about you phone service be a little bit more helpful and this wouldn’t of happened.

  75. Wish I could give the company ZERO STARS!! We have been stanioned so many places and this company has me ready to get the heck out of El Paso! They sent us a bill for over $300 when no one was home the entire month. The month prior when …

  76. I walked in and paid the payment I owed for April 20 that day & I’m well aware that my next payment is due this May 20. Well when I call to pay through bill matrix it still hasn’t processed that I paid my April bill & even on my bill in the …

  77. Worst electric company ever. They just shut off our power without even telling us! No note, no letter, not even an email. They just came to our house and shut it off, didn’t even knock on the door to let us know. Just shut it off and left. …

  78. I would give 0 stars if I could
    My bill went from $60-$200 in 3 months, ended up paying about $500 in those 3 months alone. I live in a 650ft apartment and I had been here for the summer …

  79. These people are so shady. They didn’t send me my last bill which usually arrives after it due. Then they turned my power off while I was out of town without any notice. I came back on a Friday to a sticker on my door. I had to wait all …

  80. There used to be a time, not too long ago when Time Warner Cable customer service reps would behave in the same way that El Paso Electric Company reps behave now. This is because they were the only company offering cable, internet and phone …

  81. Absolutely the WORST service. They cut my electricity off and I pay to have it turned on the same day and they can’t even tell me what time the tech is going to be here!? Me and my family left In the Dark in the DEAD OF WINTER. FOR HOURS. …

  82. Outstanding service when the power was down. The lineman Diego was at my house within 1 hour after I reported the issue, and everyone I dealt with was polite and concerned. The pole behind the house was 65′ tall and the lineman Diego work …

  83. Been paying every month on time, now they’re saying I owe over a grand. If I had a choice I would not be going with this monopoly. Sadly none of us have a choice.

  84. Wish I could give 0 stars. Had service disconnected after just 1 day late, and then paid extra to have same day reconnect. Nobody ever showed up and power still out. Good luck getting a hold of someone because they close at 4:30, but …

  85. Took over my uncles electric bill due to his death with Covid. Was up to date, but some how was charged all these fees and now owe them over 300$. Wish I could choose an electric company like we do internet because they over charge and their customer service is ridiculous.

  86. One of the worst utility companies I’ve ever dealt with. Their automated call system is horrible. I’ve been trying to get ahold of a person for a couple days. After almost a year of no payment issues, the auto draft system messed up by not …

  87. Worst utility company I have had to deal with. I had an email confirmation for a service start of June 1 and when they didn’t come I called to inquire and they blatantly lied stating that I canceled the appointment. The customer service …

  88. With out a doubt the worst electric company I’ve ever had to deal with. Their service reps are rude and unhelpful. They blatantly lie about techs coming to turn on power. And absolutely no weekend hours. Your in an area where it gets well …

  89. Called about a possible scam occurring in my neighborhood regarding solar energy. My call was answered fairly quickly and the customer service representative was kind and courteous. …

  90. I requested a start in service which requires all breakers to be in the off position (from both inside and outside boxes). I turned off all inside breakers, and, at the time, didn’t realize there was such a thing as an outside breaker box, …

  91. I called because my power got shut off for two days in 100+ degree weather. They couldn’t tell me how to restart it and expected me to know even though I paid to get it turned back on. El Paso Electric does not care about the people.

  92. By far the worst experience I’ve ever had with a electric company, completely unprofessional & rude. They’re never willing to help especially when the problem is on their end. The first suggestion they come up with is call an electrician. …

  93. Worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. I set up auto pay, however they denied this and shut off my power with no notice what so ever in the middle of my work day as I was working from home. You can’t navigate their call system and it took speaking to 5 people and 180 dollars in to have them turn on my power. Incompetent.

  94. We set up autopay, but they hadn’t been taking the money out of the account. So we took of care the payment over the phone, only for them to show up at the doorstep saying we owe them for that very same amount we just paid 3 days ago… smh

  95. Calling the company just to get service started is worthless the automative system days it’d take 35 min just to connect to someone that can help to get service I was on hold for almost 2 hours just for the call to get disconnected and when I try again to call it says there system is down…unbelievable

  96. Waited from 10 in the morning till (still waiting) it’s now 7:51 and no one has came to reconnect services. I will be seeking legal action or something. This is beyond ridiculous in the middle of Covid , you’d think they would at least do …

  97. Horrible customer service.
    After switching my new bank information on the website, I get a notification from my old bank that the EP Electric payment didn’t go through …

  98. They had been obliged to comply with COVID restrictions and have done so. I’ve never personally had an outage in the close to 10 years I’ve lived in El Paso—all across the city. …

  99. I was told I would have to pay 150 for a deposit when starting a new service at a new location. Called the next day to pay the deposit and was told it was actually 315 for the deposit. 315 for a deposit is ridiculous

  100. I wish we would have another electric company that would actually care. I think it’s so unfair how I I just payed my bill and I still get my services disconnected I was given no notice yesterday I just got home one day I and didn’t have …

  101. These crooks are twisting the knives on working peoples backs. Their rates are insane and impossible to keep up with. When do we, the people, get tired of getting robbed?!

  102. They charge what ever they wanna charge. Because there’s no way bills should jump up one month doubling what it is and nothing has changed. They just love robbing the people of money

  103. Terrible service but El Paso electric doesn’t care since they are the only option!! During 07/19 power goes out and they could care less no sympathy, hours with no electricity during the hottest day of the year. During a heatwave what’s wrong with you people, they couldn’t even direct us to a place to find shelter 👎🏼 …

  104. Careful getting into the budget billing, they don’t notify you that you have to pay the full amount first hence why I got into the program in the first place since my bill has doubled this year, now they keep sending disconnection notices.

  105. ABSOLUTELY THE WORST UTILITIES ELECTRIC COMPANY I HAVE DEALT WITH.
    STREET LIGHT HAS BEEN OUT FOR WEEKS AND THESE MINDLESS BOZOS EVEN THOUGH I HAVE CALLED EVERYONE UNDER THE TO GET THIS ADRESSED THERE STILL HAS NOT BEEN A RESOLUTION. WHEN CAN I SAY: LET THERE BE LIGHT❗️

  106. Very sketchy here. I would rate it 0 stars if I could. They go back on payment arrangements and lie. They said I didn’t pay my bill when In fact did. Something ain’t right here. They should really look into what’s going on here because it looks like embezzlement.

  107. It’s so sad how monopolies work here. The customer service is always rude. It’s takes them hours to show up to any of my businesses or my home. My home bill spiked from $200ish to almost $400+ and they still can’t make it out to your home in a timely manner. Makes me sick how they don’t care.

  108. Thursday I called to have my service connected to new address, they said someone will be out to connect it Friday….it’s Saturday no one showed up. I have to wait until Monday to speak with someone…it’s hot!!! And I have a medical condition. This will not end well for me.

  109. I manage several rentals. Every time I start or stop service at one of my rental properties for some reason they come and shut off utilities to my primary home . This has happened more than once . Unfortunately we don’t have other options for electricity here in town. Customer service in not a priority for them.

  110. Customers service operator/Agent was rude….twice I’ve dealt with agents/ Operator..both times been rude…sheesh…you’d think they’d hire better agents/Operator…guess since R.P.Elect. is only one in town …they people can talk to customers in a ride manner…and not hold them accountable.

  111. Still on hold, going on 15 minutes. WTH!!!!!!! Im live now and nothing. They really need to upgrade their customer service. But its true they are the only company, so we are at their mercy. Does not matter what we write or say, at the end they still take my money

  112. Double charged my card they won’t put money back on my card I have to wait two weeks for them to mail a check. The app is horrible for bill pay and customer service is rude and uncaring about their errors and how it affects people. …

  113. In the past EP Electric was polite, but this time the rep didn’t seem to speak English and did not understand what I was asking. Come on now, El Paso Electric at least hire people that can speak and write legible English to work with …

  114. By far the worst agency interaction I’ve ever had. The lady would not let validate anything asked. The customer service representative needed a letter. A hard copy for an issue with the meter when I showed up with it the person on hand …

  115. I set up autopay multiple times on the website and when I turned on the electric at my place. Came home to it being shut off. I can see my account has auto pay but they claim there is no auto pay or account attached. Not easy to get in …
