Left my 91-Year-old without heat and its 17 degrees 91 year old mother called service plus to have her furnace looked at because it was blowing slightly warm/cold air. The technician came out -blower was bad and needed replacement. They disconnected the heat she had and left her with a small space heater. Her house was 48-52 degrees at this time. 24 hours later no scheduled time to replace. They use this time to " buy time" so they can take longer to fix things according to a past technician. Part arrives and she has to wait... read more

This company is absolutely terrible their online payment system stopped working for me over a year ago when I call they tell me it is my computer(it is not my computer as I had a friend use my computer and it worked fine for them not sure how) they claim I can`t use a checking account because of a returned payment from the bank. Last week I sat at my bank for 2 and a half hours trying to find this returned payment and according to my bank that never happened. If this wasn`t a monopoly in Minnesota I would change to a differe... read more

I want to start by saying that the people I have talked to on the phone have been great. Now the bad. Does not call 30 minutes prior to service. Technician Rushes away to next job instead of waiting a few minutes or trying to contact me. Dispatch is unwilling to contact available technicians. I just want to have hot water. I started this process a week ago. It wouldn't surprise me if this company is working their employees to the bone just to milk a little more money out of their guaranteed profit.

Had service appointment on furnace 9/23/24 in which a part needed to be ordered. Called back on 9/29 as part had arrived. Appointment was scheduled for same day. Received call in the afternoon (after taking day off of work), indicating the appointment was entered wrong and required expert technician so appointment would need to be rescheduled for today 9/30/24. Received follow-up call 15 minutes later confirming technicians would be arriving early around 8:30am. As 8:30 came/passed today without anyone showing up, I called b... read more

CenterPoint sent me a letter, said I was past due and owed a $10 late fee because the scheduled ACH payment could not be taken from my bank account due to the death of an account holder. No one died, the bank said CenterPoint did not try to take the payment on the due date. Called CenterPoint customer service and said no problem, they would waive the $10 fee. I paid the current amount due, waited 10 days, the $10 fee is still showing. Called CenterPoint again, now Anna in Customer Service says I would need a letter from my b... read more

I bought my furnace/air conditioner from Center Point Energy 5 years ago. In the first month we had them out 3 times to fix it. Today I had my tune up scheduled and it was red tagged! That was after my 8 - 8 time frame of waiting and they arrived at 4:30. Then the tech could not service my supplemental furnace so I needed another appointment for tomorrow. Then the main furnace got red tagged and they could not have the same guy that is doing the supplemental furnace repair the main furnace. I couldn’t even get the same time ... read more

Center Point Service Plus is TERRIBLE! Every time I schedule service, they cancel, push back or just don't show up! To schedule tune ups, you have to schedule 5 months out. If I could rate them lower I would. I finally have a manager's number to call direct as this is an EVERY TIME occurrence. They charge so much and still cannot get it right. Someone needs to address this issue at the company once and for all. They cannot keep treating their customers this way. It's a Monopoly and they take advantage of their customers. Ano... read more

I seldom write reviews but this time I feel I have to say something to let people know about their service. I purchased CenterPoint Energy Home Service Plus, the program turns out to be a joke. My water heater stopped working and it remains nonfunctional since my initial call for service, it has been 3 weeks so far. I still don't have hot water at home. First of all, some technicians are not experienced. The first group of technicians diagnosed it as a failed electrodes and control board. It took 3 days for the ordered parts... read more
