This company is a complete joke! My power went out during the middle of cooking supper and has been off since then which was around 8:00. I've called customer service and they have been working on the issue the whole time and was very rude. If I had another choice in a power company you best believe this place wouldn't get another copper penny of mine! Keep in mind we bought the house in August and this seems to be a biweekly issue!!!

Isn't it great to be out of power when it's in the 30's at night with small children?

Thanks for freezing us Sunday morning. What bullshit. Seriously, what causes lines to fall behind the Bruce store?

I have been a customer of Chelco since 2005, I have lived in many places but this is the absolute best provider I have ever had. In these 12 years could probably count on one hand outages that have been over an hour. Only one I can remember was maybe 4 hours.

Great lineman! Good customer service personnel in office! Horrible online customer service! Street light outage hot line is a total joke! 6.5 days to get a high priority streetlight repaired due to hotline; not linemen- they are great!
