I've had nothing but great service from the people at TPU over 20 years. The only exception is when they failed to hold a contractor accountable for flood damage he caused in Dash Point State Park...

They double charged my account and refused to refund me for one of the charges. I paid my bill and set up auto pay on the same day, this caused a double charge. No problem I thought I will call...

Terrible customer service. Utilities were shut off with no notification. If I had a choice I would discontinue service with them forever.

I spoke with Steve in the power shop many times and was instrumental on helping me figure out why I was having power surges and voltage drops. He was also very attentive and great to work with....

I have never experienced such horrible customer service before encountering this company!! They only look out for themselves and don't care about struggling families! They will shut off your power...
