I overpaid my bill in error by 316 dollars. This is 3.5 months of future electric bills. They issued credit but will not send money back. They said I needed to send a statement showing proof I paid them online. This is ridiculous because they show the credit in their payments received. Why is this necessary? They just want to hold my money for as long as possible. I emailed statement today. I will come back to this website to tell you how it takes for them to pay me back

I mailed my payment on March 27, 2026. I don't know why it wasn't received. I mailed it. I mailed it. I deducted the amount from my checking account. I can't afford to pay it twice. I asked for a text, email and got nothing. Try to call, wait time over an hour. Tech support, bad.

Whoever took my call should be fired!! My number is **. Search the call. Woman should be fired!!! She hung up on me because she couldn't resolve my issue. She kept insisting to tell me what she is seeing rather to listen to what I am saying than trying to understand where I am coming from. She even herself was telling me she does not know why PSE&G did it that way. I just paid to reconnect my service. A week ago got put on a payment arrangement to divide my payments 24 months. Showed 0 balance. Now I have a bill of $433.85. I told her how is that possible?? SHe telling me I have a balance from previous bill. How?? If I did why she couldn't find the answer to why didn't they apply that when I called a week ago? Very unprofessional!!

PSE&G is the only electric company that we can use. My bill is inconsistent and I was billed 2 different bills in March. I had to pay $575 which is ridiculously high especially when only 2 people are living in my house. PSEG are ripoffs and don’t care to do so. In one week, my powered outage went out. No wind or snow. You have to wait long period of time just to speak with customer service and when asked for call back, no one calls you back. PSE&G is the worst electric company out there. I don’t recommend PSE&G to anyone in New Jersey. They enjoy ripping off their customers.

Writing this while being on the hold for 58 minutes. Website has issues with login and from five request to reset login, only one non working link came through. Non existent customer service. Unfortunately there is no choice for consumers .....

I rarely take the time to write a review about a multi-million-dollar company, but my recent experience has been beyond frustrating. I received a bill in the mail for $13,135.20, which is clearly incorrect for a home with only two people living in it. For the past two days, I have spent more than six hours on hold trying to resolve this issue.
On March 7, 2026, I spoke with someone named Priscilla, and on March 9, I spoke with Terry. Since then, I’ve been transferred from customer service to replacements to weatherization, with no one able to actually fix the problem. All we are trying to do is restore our appliance installment payments, which were inadvertently removed from the account.
As of today, March 10, 2026, I started calling right when customer service opened at 7:00 AM, and I am still on hold hours later trying to get help. At one point today alone, I have been on the phone for over two hours and 90 minutes. This is completely unacceptable customer service for a company of this size. My bill is still showing $13,135.20, and no one seems able to resolve something that should be straightforward. If someone from the company actually reviews these Google reviews, I would appreciate a call to help resolve this issue.

Horrific and crew thermostat situation. Had to pay upfront a 54 bucks past due in order to get a technician over. Mind you this is today where we have had this horrible blast of polar vortex. Beyond evil and inhumane. Shame on you PSE&G. I have no other choice but to put up with but I'll splatter my review everywhere I can. Disgusting.

Extremely poor customer service. I'm ACTIVELY still on hold over 33 minutes, I emailed them while on hold because I was supposed to be transferred to emergency dept with gas concerns of gas boiler and they not only do not have my information and address but have not gotten back to phone for the proper assistance. Rep NEVER took my information and said I'll be called back if wait is too long or cannot get thru or phone call falls; nothing.
PSEG is over charging for poor service and wasting people battery life and NEVER change their structure because these SAME issues persist for years and I honestly cannot wait until PSEG goes out of business due to these ignored constant issues of unprofessionalism. Now if something was to happen due to negligence of PSEG, they'd definitely lose even MORE clientele. Then you have these AI bots answering prior to finally obtaining a REAL PERSON after asking numerous times to send a REAL customer service agent over, after over 10+ tries and 3-5 minutes repeating SAME thing to a AI system.

Bill goes from $300 to $500 to $1000 with out any changes. It sucks that this is the only company we can use because this is a scam. I am going to get the news involved to see if they can investigate this scam.

We have recently move to an area serviced by PSE&G. We have two houses and have moved many time over the years but this is definitely the worse public service company we have every worked with. They, routinely, keep you waiting on the phone for hours. They ask you if you want a call back in the beginning but never offer that option again. They charge a deposit from new customers but agree to return that if we agree to auto-pay but they have a cumbersome system to get the deposit back that even their own people don't seem to understand. I have probably spent over 5 hours on the phone on different calls with people who all told me something different. I still haven't seen my deposit.
I just received a letter from PSE&G saying that we have been removed from their "Collective Billing program due to non-payment." We have been on auto-pay and our bank has been paying every month since we moved here. I can't believe they ask us to stay on the phone for a survey after the call. Where does one begin! They don't need a survey, they probably just need to respond to phone calls. There's no excuse for this kind of service.

Deplorable customer service. PSE&G operates as a monopoly, unfazed by the outrageous cost they impose on their customers. In the past, I used their "Equal" Payment option, only to be hit at the end of the year with spiked bills (in the thousands of dollars). I am a single person, tiny household, with no AC, with very conservative energy consumption, so bills are expected to vary dramatically through the year. I have consistently paid around $60 in summer months, with average $150 in the winter. I am floored by my last bill- an unprecedented $400.
I have been unable to reset my password to see my account- the website promises to send the text with the log on temporary number, which never arrives, after multiple attempts- not sure if I'm the only one facing this frustration. No Chat Bot to expedite connection. I am writing this review while I wait on the phone with their billing department, which stated that my wait time "is LESS than 45 minutes..." Yay!

I reported last night about a street light out and was pleasantly surprised to see the technician replacing the street light earlier this morning. Kudos for the quick response! Easy to report issues on their site.

I purchased my Water Heater through PSE&G replacement department on 7/15/25. It came dented and I was not given the option or respect to refuse the delivery. I didn’t notice it until 10/12/25. It made me feel unsafe that potential gas or carbon monoxide will escape and they refuse to replace it. They said they can simply push it back in. I’m paying $2400 for a damaged product. Do not use PSE&G unless you fully inspect what they bring in your house.

From the very first call, the experience was excellent. The scheduler (I regret I didn’t catch her name) was kind and helpful, and quickly arranged an inspection and estimate. Geoff, the estimator, arrived right on time, evaluated my old boiler, explained the next steps clearly, and provided an estimate. After completing the credit check, I called back and Steve set the installation appointment for a couple days later.
Bill arrived promptly at 7:30 AM and got right to work removing the old equipment. About 90 minutes later, his partner arrived and together they assembled and installed the new boiler. By noon, the system was up and running with a neat, professional installation. They even carted away the old boiler and all the debris. I don’t think I could have had a better experience. Everything was handled promptly, professionally, and with care. Meanwhile, another contractor I contacted never even returned my call. I’m very glad I chose PSE&G WorryFree®.

The PSEG guys came today to change my gas meter. First, they came up on the porch banging on the door like they were crazy, laughing and talking loudly. After they finished in the basement, they came up into the Kitchen without knocking. I looked and they were standing in there. They made sure the stove came on, something about bleed the line. However, what I am upset about is that they left me without hot water. They did not check to see if the water tank pilot light was on. I am a senior citizen living alone what if I had to call the plumber to fix the problem. What is wrong with this generation they are so careless, and it is going to cost them dearly.

A condescending, shady PSE&G service technician came to my home on 9/18/25 after I called the company to check out a possible gas leak in my basement after I noticed a strange odor the night before. After doing a cursory sweep of the area for a gas leak, he decided to pull the front panel of my furnace, and then asked me to go upstairs to turn on the heat on my thermostat. When I went back downstairs to my basement, the service technician told me to notice the rattling noises that were coming from the inducer motor fan in the furnace.
There was never a problem with my furnace like during the previous winter. I suspect that he put screws or nuts in the inducer to create that noise to make it appear I had a malfunctioning furnace and convince me to have him pay to fix it. Soon after he left my home, I started to experience a severe, persistent headache.
I checked the CO detectors in my basement and living room, and, sure enough, they indicated that carbon monoxide (not high enough to trigger an alarm) had been released in my living space after this deranged service tech had messed around with my furnace parts. As a result of the carbon monoxide poisoning that he caused, I had to visit a local hospital ER the following day, and have had persistent headaches and physical issues since. This PSE&G service tech is a monster! PSE&G is a monopoly, so they can do anything to their customers without it affecting their business.

PSE&G has charged me twice for their worry-free contract. They claim that they are charging me twice because it is my renewal month when this has never occurred before. I've spoken to 5 individuals and no one can explain the overcharge and my issue still has not been resolved. I've spent well over 2 hours on the phone trying to get this resolved. I was even told my a supervisors that they would look into it and call me back. That was over 2 days ago.

If PSEG weren't a monopoly they wouldn't possibly have my business. I've been a customer from the same address for 60 years when LIPA changed over to PSEG. Other than having some financial problems in the 90s I have not had any issues paying my bills for 30 years. However this year I opted to enroll in their online autopayment plan. Big mistake. Because of a mixup my bank account was a few dollars short of the full bill amount. Apparently this has happened twice and even though I have credit cards entered into the online website (how I was paying before autopay) they blocked me from paying online or over the phone for 12 months.
I had to drive to Hewlett about 45 minutes to pay my bill in cash. And I have to do that every month for a year now. I have tried talking to them and speaking with a supervisor and got the most sanctimonious BS I ever got from a customer service rep in my life and that's saying a lot. Basically berating me for being a deadbeat and having to pay the price of their punishment because it's "policy". I pointed out my spotless record of decades and that this was an autopayment error that will never happen again because I won't be using that feature anymore. "No it's not possible. If I make an exception for you I have to make an exception for everyone". I asked who was going to tell "everyone" that an exception was made? The phone call didn't end well.

Please please please come fix this light post in Trenton NJ. Please. The buzzing sound is unbearable. It impacts sleep, literally cause ears to ring and vibration felt throughout body. This Is NOT normal. It’s been a month since buzzing has gotten out of control from a faint humming sound. Report has been made 2x. Not sure why there isn’t regular maintenance to avoid this but this has gotten unbearable from 7:30pm-7:30am. Please 🙏🏾. This is not healthy and is a hazard.
