Scana Energy Complaint

Don't Use Scana!! - Scana Energy Gas

Scana cut off my family's power without notice and left me and my children in the cold. When I called they told me I'd have to go to a service center to pay a late bill and only then would they turn on our heat. After paying, we called them and then they said they wouldn't be able to turn it on for 4 days!!!!

IF YOU HAVE SCANA - CHANGE IT TO ANOTHER GAS COMPANY LIKE WE ARE DOING AND DO IT QUICKLY. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU OR YOUR FAMILY, ONLY THE BOTTOM LINE. WHEN ASKED WHAT THEY'D DO IF SOMEONE DIED FROM LACK OF HEAT, THE "CUSTOMER SERVICE" RESPONSE WAS, "WE CAN'T COMMENT ON THAT, WE HAVE TO FOLLOW POLICY." RUN FROM SCANA! RUN!!!

    That is what happens when you don't pay your electric bill.

    Ditto that, they don't turn it off unless they have a good reason. You never mention how late your bill was or why it was late in the first place.

    Scana Energy is natural gas in Georgia, not electricity. A four day delay in restoring service seems excessive.

    Depending on the time of year and the weather I thought they were not allowed to disconnect services related to heating the home. It may be too early in the season for that. Maybe writing the due date of your utilities on a calendar will be helpful in reminding you that its time to send in the payment.

    Depends on the temperature and how far behind the bill is. Here in TN they can cut you off anytime when you are late.

    And one would think "children in the cold" would be a good reason to pay your bill on time.

    Scana is simply a "gas marketer" in Georgia. They have no service techs of their own to actually turn the service on or off. The actual on site service is provided by Georgia Natural Gas.

    So it is more likely the delay is coming from the GNG side of the equation - all Scana can do is send instructions to turn the service back on, they don't actually unlock the meter themselves.

    There are federal and state programs that can help with electric and gas bills. Try this link:
