Customer Service
Everything to do with your account
Most of it can be done without calling. The Customer Portal handles payments and balances; the service desk handles everything else.

Our service charter
What we commit to, and by when
In support of our pledge to provide you with the highest level of customer service possible, we have invested heavily in technology and training for our staff. That way we are always equipped to deliver the most reliable and efficient service possible, within normal operating constraints.
During our operating hours, our team members will always be available to answer your queries. If you have questions or complaints, please contact our Commercial offices at Sans Souci, Rodney Bay and Vieux-Fort.
- Appointments
- We promise to keep any appointments we make with you to visit your property. If we give a specific time, we promise to be there within fifteen minutes of the appointed time. If for any reason we cannot make the appointment, we promise to contact you and re-schedule within that time frame.
- Damaged equipment
- If a claim is made to our Commercial Offices for damage to your property or equipment due to negligence or failure on the part of LUCELEC or its employees, we will investigate the complaint within two working days.
- Estimate for a new supply
- If you request an estimate, we will respond within two working days with an acknowledgement and a request for a scheduled site visit to evaluate your needs. We promise to provide you with a cost estimate for the scope of work identified during the site visit, within fifteen working days from the time the request was received by our Planning Department.
- Failure of our distribution network
- When there is a network fault, we will aim to get your supply back on as quickly as possible.
- Service connection failure
- If you inform us of the failure of your supply by calling our 24-hour emergency service, we promise to restore your supply within six hours, providing that the fault is in the service cable to your premises.
- Interruptions to your supply
- We will inform you at least two days in advance if we need to cut off your supply to do essential work. If you lose your supply due to an unplanned fault, we will provide information on the cause and likely length of the service interruption as soon as it is available, through our 24-hour emergency service.
- Meter accuracy
- If you contact our Commercial Offices because you think your electricity meter is inaccurate, we will send an investigator to your premises within two working days and give you a formal response within five working days.
- Providing your new supply
- If you apply for a new domestic supply of electricity, we will seek to visit your premises within 24 hours. If the premises are ready for connection, you will be connected. Otherwise, you will be informed of any further steps you may need to take. Our aim is to connect all new customers within 1–2 business days after payment of your deposit.
- Questioning your bill
- If you contact us at our Commercial Offices to query your bill, we will give you an immediate response. If further investigation is required, we will give you a verbal or written answer within five working days.
- Voltage problems
- If you contact us at our Commercial Offices because you believe your voltage is incorrect, we will immediately investigate the matter and contact you within five working days of receiving your complaint with a report on the action we are taking and the results we have achieved.
