Left a property to move to another in the virginia beach area. I recieve text messages for my account when they are due. I have 2 other homes in Farmville VA and those have been established for decades. After moving a bill was sent to the old address and never forwarded. Never received a text that the bill was due. They sent a small residual to collection on the same day they threatened to turn off my local power in Virginia beach. I questioned the idea that if you noticed I have 2 other accounts up to date why was I not notified sooner to avoid collections. Absurd. It's all by design to have one to place a deposit on an account to get more money for investments or otherwise.
Speaking to customer service is like speaking to a brick wall. No personality or reasonable fixes. I could only hope for competition. This is why monopolies are against the law. They simply don't care. I would like to develop a plan with consumers to sock it to this company and show them who is really in charge. Angry beyond belief.

Terrible customer service. They are crooks. They charged me 5k for something not even related to me or my account. I pad it and then my attorney got it right back as the judge chuckled at their crookedness. Now they still haven't turned my power in at my warehouse, they has been powerless for over a yr now and they still can't give an answer. Time to teach them another lesson next week they wilt soon forget. I wouldn't recommend Dom Va power to anyone. I will also contact the BBB.

Dominion Energy disconnected my service this morning without any notice. I also did not receive the paper bill at the correct address. Last month, when I attempted to make a payment, the system only showed the current month’s balance, and I was not aware of any past-due amount. This morning, my daughter woke me up to tell me that we had no electricity, which made it impossible to prepare her lunch before school. When I contacted customer service, they informed me that I must pay approximately $750 due to a past-due balance. Although I explained that I have consistently made payments and that our heating is primarily gas, resulting in typically lower electricity bills, they insisted that I pay the full amount before restoring service.
I requested assistance and asked if I could make a partial payment and set up a payment plan for the remaining balance. Unfortunately, both the customer service representative and the supervisor repeated the same policy and were unable to offer any flexibility or support. Being without electricity, even for a single day, has created significant hardship for my family. Given the unusually high outstanding balance this is not right,

My name is Jarvis **, and Dominion Energy is a perfect example of why competition is always needed. They don't care if they leave without power in the cold or not. They double my bill for three months in a row and gave me no recourse. Their people Simone and Natasha was absolutely worthless. They won't help you or even try. They just read the script over and over, what's the point of hiring them? They should just replace them AI since they have no real options to help anyone and don't say anything but the scripts. Sadly there no one else I can use for power in my area. I hate Oligarchy for this very reason. I hope to get solar panels and never look back to this blood sucking company.

My wife is a TSA officer. Dominion Energy offered a "deferment" that would have cost us $88 in addition to our current bill. They have ZERO COMPASSION for their customers and even less for TSA while they suffered through these shutdowns. Their help is to charge us MORE! Burger King has more compassion than Dominion Energy. Did I mention they have raised their prices exponentially since the shutdowns started? Dominion Energy could be misconstrued as Oligarchs taking advantage of unpaid American workers.

New to getting started with Dominion energy. I’m just trying to pay the utility deposit and they’re giving me such a hard time doing so. I’ve never had worse customer experience and service in my life. I’m literally crying in frustration because I’m getting transferred to the wrong deposits with people who don’t like to do their jobs. I’m honestly so worried about my future high bills that I’m reading based on these reviews. I’m starting to regret all my life choices signing up for this. DOMINION ENERGY I HAD TO SIGN UP NOT BY CHOICE.

I have had only 2 bad experiences with Dominion power in my adult life. 1st, my power was shut off because I didn't pay the last portion of my bill. It was an accident because I thought I paid the whole thing already. I laid into them for shutting my power over a portion not being paid when I have paid every month without fail. Sometimes I pay it whole or I split it into 2 payments. It shouldn't have been cut off when it hadn't even been a month. That was why I set up autopay as to not worry about that.
This month I paid my bill early in the month because I had another bill I needed to pay when the autopay was scheduled. I didn't think the autopay would still take out the money (dumb on my part). I called the day I found out and spoke with a rep. She explained I needed to show proof of both payments posted to my bank account. So I sent it to the email provided and got no response. I called back and now they tell me that they can't refund my money because they applied it to my next bill. TF! I explained that I explicitly told the other rep that I did not want that. That was why she said to send the proof of payment. Now they are telling me it was the wrong email and I have to resend the info. They got me F up. I am so angry right now.

Today, I called customer service number. After thirty minutes hold, I was transferred to a lady in charge. My request to change Bill due date begin at the month instead of middle of the month like present. The lady was insisted nothing could do, even I suggested Dominion sent a meter reading at my cost. She insisted even I cancelled my account, the date couldn't change. After that she put me on hold and hung me up. What is the greatest customer service from Dominion power. They are certainly Their salary are not coming from customer. They treat customers like. NOVEC SHOULD BE ANOTHER POWER OF CHOICE.

Dominion energy is holding my security deposit. Something around $300. Closed my account in March 18 and was told by representatives that they will process a refund on in mid July that is 5 month!!! She also created a ticket to issue refund sooner and guess what it is gonna take them 30 days for that ticket to process!! I had power outages for days and 0 reimbursement or credit. Worst company to deal with!

I live alone and only on one side of my house. I have the power turned off by the switches in the circuit box. I was in a totally different country but yet received a bill with a 64% increase in February 2026. Dominion Energy have lost their freaking minds!!! This company is a thief walking in broad daylight!!! A lawsuit needs to be filed from all consumers against you!!

I have had Dominion Power, NOT by choice, for the last 12 years. I bought my house 12 years ago and there also is another electric power company out where I live and they just DROPPED their rate at the same time that Dominion RAISED THE HELL out of ours. A normal bill for us is around 250 dollars a month. HOW IN THE HELL came they claim this 660.00 Dollar freaking bill?? It has not been cold anymore, so my system is not working hard however on my bill I see a metric ton of BULLSHIT charges that it seems Dominion has just made up. I have never seen bills like this in MARCH!!
My thought was to take it to the BBB, and I was about to submit it, but I read their policies that you have to agree to their collections of my information, and I do not trust agencies with my information unless I know the business and buying something from them. Dominion cannot make people pay for something that is a life necessity that IS NOT AFFORDABLE. It's not like I can choose my GD power company. If that were the case, I would have left Dominion in the dust YEARS AGO. I have been in construction for 25 years always just keeping me and my family's heads above water and Dominion pushes all of my families' heads under water BECAUSE THEY CAN!!!

Good evening, everyone. I am writing because after reading everyone reviews, we need to start a class action lawsuit against Dominion Energy. My mother lives alone and her heat is set at 68 degrees. Her last bill was $600 plus dollars, and we paid $200 on it. I just called to see how much the bill was, and it said we owe $900 plus dollars. I spoke to someone last month because on the bill it said estimate, I said to the customer services lady I want an accurate reading, and she refused to help. She said that their technical side of things shows that there is nothing wrong with the meter.
She then proceeded to say my mother used $5 dollars one day, $10 dollars another day then $36 dollars the next day. I asked how is that possible and she said she wasn't sure. It must be something she is doing because that is what the meter is reading. There's no way my mother in a home by herself is using that much electric. They are robbing the minorities. If anyone wants to start this lawsuit with me, please respond. We cannot and should not sit back and let them continue to rob us. We must take action.

First of all, the automated system answering calls is redundant. After confirming name, address and phone number, I was sent to the human being who requested all of that information as well as my account number. You KNOW she was looking at all that info on a screen and knew I had already confirmed it. TIME WASTE. Additionally, my Feb bill is almost double my bill from last year. I do NOT have electric heat and have not changed usage patterns. I was told I would be sent to a representative who could handle this and then told the wait was 40 minutes - that I should go to the (useless) website. They have no discounts for seniors and charge ridiculous Distribution Service Charges. We private citizens are paying for Data Centers!

I have just received my electric bill and I used $1,934 kilowatts. My electric bill was over $300. I have always tried to keep my electric bill down and they told us our electric bill was only going up by $11. My electric bill has doubled. All this over the data centers. Y'all need to figure something else out and have the data centers pay for their own electricity. We work for every penny that we get. We should not have to pay for the data centers that we did not ask for. Dominion Energy Va is reaping Us off 😡

Recently, billed for electrical service for a home I sold 25 years ago. Said I never cancelled the service or the revert billing to owner agreement. Said I am on the hook for the current bill even though I haven't owned the house for years and that my credit will be dinged if I don't pay the bill. I'm retired and will be happy to go to small claims court to sue for damages if they do.

If I could give 0 or negative stars I would. Their app is garbage, zero customer service. Trying to get a person on the line takes forever then they dont help. Combine that with rising cost, little desire to offer payment extensions when the bills are getting outrageous especially during a severely cold winter only offering payment arrangements with a super high down payment due the same day. Monopoly needs to broken up!

I signed my lease about 6 months ago and will start service in less than a month. I moved out with the intention of returning, so I returned 6 months later and called to request that the service be turned on. The operator informed me that I needed to produce the same lease, so I told her I had discarded my lease due. With other unnecessary paperwork, the temperature is -2. My service. My dog is frozen, and I have medical issues and am disabled. I received a text stating that the service would be turned on, so I called at 435, only to be told that they might come out. I am frozen, no one cares, nothing.

Horrible customer service!! I got shut off which as far as I have heard Utah has some kind of agreement that especially low income families with kids aren't supposed to get shut off in the winter soooo there's that. But then I set up a payment plan made the first payment and nobody came out the next day. So I call again the day after and they send someone out but I wasn't able to turn the gas lever on because it's so tight and dominion won't do it for you. So I called again same day, Tracy the lady I spoke with was rude and sounded very annoyed but they sent an emergency tech out just to grease up the lever so that I could try again, it worked. I turned it on, then when I go to light the pilot nothing so here we are going on 4 days with no gas in the coldest season of the year. 🤬

I gave this review a one star. Only because of the rate charge going up in 2026 and 2027. I will have to leave my apartment and look for a room next year. I am 72 and live off my retirement and social security. The rent is so high in Charlottesville and having a higher electric bill is ridiculous. It’s either pay the bill and not eat.

Dominion Energy is the most expensive energy cost than other energy companies I've ever experienced, they're outrageous on their price and they're not too good on extending utility till next payday. Is always a couple of days before or else they're going to cut the lights off, I asked for a couple of days till my payday and they can't even wait. They want that money right now, I'm making a payments on my electricity every 2 weeks. Dominion Energy needs to come down on their prices instead of going up.

Dominion power came thru our neighborhood last year to advise us about them burying the power lines to provide a better experience and limit or stop power outages in our area. They completed the job and now our power goes out more than it has in the 10 years we have lived there. If it storms, rains, or have strong winds our power goes out. They raised our bill up but service is garbage.

Dominion is awful, they hate you as the customer. They buried our lines because it was suppose to be more reliable than the line running from the pole. They had workers open my fences and just trespass on my property, They even tried to get hundreds of feet of easement of my property. We never signed, they still buried the line, now we have outages every week. It takes forever to get our service back, it’s summer time and we have a toddler in the house.

I'm in Northern VA and Dominion cannot reliably keep the power on. While blackouts tend to be short, they flash the power daily which resets and sometimes damages computer systems.

I hate dealing with this company and their nonchalant representatives. I don’t know what happened to my first review but instead of helping, they insisted on turning my mother’s lights off in 20 below freezing weather. All adults and one baby. Had I not paid it, they probably would have froze to death. This snow storm of the century was no secret. A representative informed me that disconnections for the last two days had been waived. Surely, the weather advisors knew everyone one on the coast would be stuck inside their homes for more than two days. The aftermath should be the concern but who cares???? People only care when they are placed in your shoes. This company is about money and if you don’t have it, you’re done for. Pay your light bill. Please don’t give them a reason to not care.

I had one of the worst customer service experiences in a very long time. The female representative who answered my call at approximately 8:30 AM today, January 15, 2025, and spent about 30 minutes on the phone with me, seemed completely dissatisfied with her job. I sincerely hope this call was recorded. I urge Dominion Power supervisors to LISTEN the conversation. I believe she is struggling in her life and I feel sorry for that, but we, the customers should not suffer for personal issues.
