We have been WREC customers since 2014. We are rural with our property being the only one on a line. Anytime we lose power we are EXTREMELY patient. We understand it isn't safe to work on electricity in storms. Our son is a lineman for a different co. We have maintained WRECs easement by bushhogging then mowing it so they are able to access their work area safely. This review is regarding the butchering and killing of trees and destruction of private property they have continued to allow Davey Tree Service ( who they contracted with to 'trim branches) to do. How would you like it if Davey did this to your trees? They did it to ours, this is our neighbors and they continue to cut grandfather osks. Live Oaks, Cedars to the ground. THAT ISN'T TRIMMING branches! This old oak once arched over our country rd. The branch was UNDER the line with plenty of clearance. This is what they allowed. The stump next to it was a beautiful healthy old Cedar. They are doing this all the way down Powell Rd. And WREC..I hope people sue Davey and also hold you responsible for allowing it to continue. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. read more

WREC has been my electric provider for 3 years and have never had a significant outage. Bills are lower than when I was with TECO. I can't believe WREC has a low rating, high value and superb service, I can't ask for anything else. read more

What a horrible company! Customer service is the worst and God forbid you ask for an 11 day extension. Nope not for you disabled vet! It's not like you have any other choice and they know it! read more

By far the worst utility company to have done services with. All the hidden fees to extort the very community it should fuel. So your going to add an additional "customer" charge just for providing of my electricity, charge me for every microwatt, and then add a fuel up charge $70 of my $90 electric bill is in customer charge which doesn't tell me what it goes towards and then a fuel up charge because apparently electricity needs gas to travel through power lines ‍ read more

Rudest customer service ever. I sold my home in mass and purchased a home in Brooksville. I set everything up in advance so when I get here it's all up n running. I get here, the day after I arrive they turned off the power. I called and asked why? Oh you need a security deposit we sent you a letter. Umm I just arrived so I got no letter. A sarcastic mmmhmmm from that witch! I set everything up again pay their deposit! I'm retired on limited income. With several health issues. They don't care. Now they want additional deposit money! WTF people! Raping low income people over the coals! Sorry you folks have been screwed before but it does not mean all people are going to screw you. Hope u go out of business and we get someone better! read more

I get my bill...$220 and change, so I go online to pay. Online my balance due is $225 and change. THEN to pay...there's a $2.75 "convenience fee". So...to pay my already expensive electric bill i must pay an additional $7.75. I have to pay them for the honor to pay them. How is that right? As it is I have no alternative power source so what choice do I have? Buy a generator? Yeah, I can mail them a check but this is 2018... I shouldn't have to. That "convenience fee" to pay bills and other hidden charges like that are shady, dishonest and just uncool. All of these utility companies, communication companies and the like have their hands in our pockets and I'm sick of getting nickeled-and-dimed into poverty. read more

It seems fruitless to review a monopoly but we consumers have no other means to express our dissatisfaction. I have fallen on tough times. I have had Withlacoochee River Electric Cooperative for 10 years and have never NOT paid them. I have been late many times recently and have always paid the bill plus late fees. Now they have decided to extort $1,000 from me for a deposit. No one could explain to me what RISK they were mitigating by doing this. I need power, they are the only ones that can provide it, I have ALWAYS paid. There simply is no risk for them, they have the legal ability to extort this money from me and they have ZERO qualms with exercising this legal privilege. I know I'm yelling into the wind..... read more
