Called in the a.m. and left a message on an answering machine. He got back to me within two hours. Scheduled a time for the afternoon and he showed up on time ready to work. Pulled apart the burner and sensor, replaced a nozzle, and fired it up. We had hot water. Cleaned up the space, answered all of my questions, and was okay with me watching him work. Excellent! I have his business card and I am now a client.

I am very disappointed and angry with CMP. I have called and emailed multiple times. I have asked…read moreto speak with their board of directors as well. They refused to give me any contact information. My daughter moved into a home in January of this year, when she flew from Oregon to Maine to live with her father. Prior to January, they were living in my home under my care. These young girls are not seasoned renters; they are barely adults who were trying to build a relationship with Liliana's estranged father. What followed was a tragic and destabilizing series of events. Her father was arrested in March for domestic violence, and his wife moved out shortly thereafter. My daughter and I were both assured by him that he would continue to cover rent and utilities, as they had only just arrived. However, after his arrest, the court barred him from returning to his home. My daughter was a witness in the case. Since then, they have been left alone to manage the aftermath of his legal and financial abandonment. They are not responsible for the electricity as they were living WITH others. They are not responsible for HIS bill. All previous usages should be billed to the account holder. Especially since they have been told he was going to court to come back home. These young women are now scraping by with minimal income. I'm helping them as best I can with food and gas, but they simply cannot afford to be saddled with someone else's unpaid utility bill, especially one incurred before they ever moved in. But CMP put all of the usage in their name and now have slapped them with a nearly $400 bill! I asked CMP with sincere urgency and compassion to waive or remove the back charges from their account. They are not the account holders for the period in question, and holding them responsible for his bill would only further penalize them for circumstances they never asked for. They did not care at all and basically just shrugged their shoulders and said, "Oh well." If anyone has the board of director's contact information please send them this review. Or send it to me. heather.conner1976@gmail.com

My electricity rate went up 50%. They promise you on the phone that your rates will go down and they quote some numbers and all you care is whether you're going to pay more or less, and they say your rate will go down. I just got off the phone with the rep and he told me without flinching that maybe it wasn't my bill that will go down! In other words, he's claiming that I was not lied to, and that by some verbal houdini I was getting what was promised! Wow, I'm in awe of the kind of phone reps Provider Power finds! Or maybe the sales reps say it like this, "You'll pay less..." (cough, cough)...while coughing they say under their breath, "...than what I want you to pay". But know this: once you figure out you're getting ripped off and try to cancel, it takes 1-2 billing cycles for them to bleed you 1-2 billing cycles more before they detach their fangs from your throat. And don't forget about their cancellation fee if you want to cancel too soon. How can they do business this way? My theory: in this age of fake relationships through "social" media and rampant "authenticity" online (ie. people being genuinely nasty with impunity), Provider Power and its ilk hit upon a brilliant idea: hire the nicest, calmest, friendliest-sounding people who are willing to lie through their teeth to rip you off. People are so starved for "genuine" relationships, they fall for it like flies. Caveat emptor! Especially the elderly or those on fixed incomes, please do NOT fall for this scam! Secondly, I feel sorry for the workers at these companies. For the sake of a paycheck they lie and scam for a living. They are pitiful.
