Duke's lineman (Robert) responded quickly and restored my service within a couple of hours of reporting. Great job, Duke Energy!

I used Duke for roughly six years in Florida through my apartment Complex, and their slew of…read morepredatory tactics, poor customer service, and inability to resolve issues they created persisted over the entire six year duration. Ultimately, upon my move out scheduled for July 22, 2026, I placed a "cancel service request" on both, the Duke app and website, prior to July 22 to ensure I would not be charged after I was no longer living in the apartment. After first placing the request on the app, I received a prompt stating a request had already been placed for 2022- knowing I had not yet placed the request, and the current year was 2026, I recognized this as an error and attempted to place the request on Duke's website as well (in addition to the app). I received the same prompt stating a request had already been placed, and so next called Duke's customer service, where I was kept on hold for over ten minutes and the robot ultimately referred me back to Duke's website. Assuming the stop service request had been placed since I placed it numerous times through Duke's website and application, and received a response stating a stop service request was received, I assumed I had stopped my service. However, come August, I've been charged through August 2. While the cost is minor, it's the principle of the issue that has been troubling - after two hours on the phone with Duke support, the answer I was given was that, because their system did not receive my stop service requests (despite that their platforms are the party that malfunctioned), I simply owe the money. Long story short, make sure you reach a human from Duke when you want to stop service, especially if their platforms are "malfunctioning." Their predatory tactics and poor technology are not on your side as a tenant, so cover all your bases to protect your finances!

I don't even know where to start. Tech "showed up" while my wife and I are sitting upstairs waiting…read morefor his arrival. We get a call 5 minutes after 8 (the scheduled arrival time) that he had showed up and nobody was home? What? I asked, "did he ring the doorbell?" to which the customer service rep says "yes, it says he rang the doorbell twice". Bewildered, I run downstairs and test my doorbell, and at which time the doorbell chimes and both of our dogs bark wildly. Hmmm, so my dogs didn't hear the doorbell either? Now, 3 weeks later, following our honeymoon, we finally get a tech out to our rental and turns out, the furnace is broken! Snow it's cold inside and I have to wait for heat even longer while a tech comes and fixes our furnace. It's almost like I scheduled this 3 weeks earlier JUST IN CASE there was an issue. Now, I'm left in a cold townhome with no heat and no idea what the hell I'm supposed to do. Thank you to the USELESS technician that never even showed up to my house. Thank you for making sure the day we show up back from our honeymoon can be so frustrating. PSNC, make your people have some damn accountability and stop using this stupid monopoly as an excuse to not give a shit about your customers.

I have PSNC for 5 years at my old apartment. I moved out August 1 2017, and set up the account to…read morebe canceled on that day. I used their online service to process this. However, 6 months later I notice that I've had $15 charges for PSNC taken from my bank account each month. I didn't notice before because I don't use the account as much and it's such a small amount. Well, I called them and said I closed my service 6 months ago and moved out, why am I being charged? Low and behold, they have no record of my scheduled closing! Shocking! I got a final bill for $58, I have spent $150 on gas for the current tenant. Can't get my old landlord (Gaskill Realty in case you wonder) or the current tenant to return my calls or pay me back. Those idiots didn't apparently think it was their responsibility to put their utilities in their own name. So, I'm eating the money because PSNC is a bunch of incompetent idiots, just like my old landlord. So glad that my new home I'm buying doesn't use gas, I'll never have to pay these morons a cent again.
