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.

Within 15 minutes

Damaged equipment
