~Furious!'s review of National Grid customer service
GetHuman: So how would you sum up your experience for GetHuman's National Grid customer community? We'll censor any IDs, numbers, or codes and any inappropriate words here out of respect to the millions of other customers using this resource.
~Furious!: I waited a week to have someone come to my new home and turn on the gas and electric. Went to the house to day to find a "sorry we missed you" slip on the door! I was told I did not have to be at the house when they came, I was NOT told to check that the main breaker was off and no one even bothered to call me when they were there!! Customer service can't deviate from their script to help. They don't care about anyone because when your customers have no choice but to use you, why bother? I'm told I have to wait ** days for an opening for them to come back!! I hate them!!!
GetHuman: Let's quantify your experience contacting National Grid. On a scale of 1 to 5, how easy is it go get help on a National Grid problem?
~Furious!: I'd give them a four out of five for ease of finding your way to help.
GetHuman: What about quality of communication. How would you rate that on a 1 to 5 scale?
~Furious!: I'd give them a five out of five on communication.
GetHuman: And what about National Grid's ability to quickly and effectively address your problem?
~Furious!: For that I would say two out of five.
GetHuman: And finally- any advice for other National Grid customers?
~Furious!: Call them early in the day or late. Don't forget any personal or account information you might need for National Grid to know who you are.
GetHuman: Well there you have it. Some useful feedback and words from ~Furious! taken from his National Grid customer service problem that occurred on November 23rd, 2017.
