Entergy is complete garbage. Update

See if you can reset it yourself. Just ask ChatGPT how

Not sure of the process but you can get credit for the time you have no power. Just keep a log of the hrs you have none.

I love when people make a fool of themselves with this statement.

Entergy is not like any other utility or service that is fee-based per month. Electricity is rate-based on your usage. So when you are not using Electricity, you are not charged for it (whether it is your fault or Entergy's).

You cannot request a refund for something you never had or paid for. For cable, you pay x$ to get cable for your entire billing cycle. Your fee is set for that cycle, that is why it works for services like cable.

The billing period after Katrina, my bill was higher than the month before. Given I was without power for 2 weeks after the storm, aaaannnnd being the curious person I am, I questioned the amount. When I called Entergy, I was told my meter was physically read on "8/29 at 6:30 AM." I pressed her asking if she had any idea whatsoever was happening in south LA during that time & date...she had no clue.

While I was ready to press the issue, I decided I'd rather not get "disconnected by mistake" if I made too much of a stink.

Yeah, Entergy can hug a fuggin' root.

Somewhat similar situation where I went on a 13-day vacation a few years back. Everything in the house was powered off, including the AC. My bill that month (part of monthly cycle I was gone) was about $50 more than usual and showing an increased usage. This was before I had the Entergy app to see the actual usage per day/week so I was beyond perplexed how that was possible. Called entergy about it and they basically told me that's what the meter was showing, and they really couldn't do anything about it.

From that day on, I kind of looked at Entergy bills like I was in an idiocracy world where they just spin a wheel and whatever dollar amount it lands on determines everyone's bill. I obviously can't live without power so what the hell am I supposed to do? I chalked this one up as a permanent loss years ago.

Lights back on after 17 hours. Dude literally pulled up, jumped out, reset the fuse, took less than 5 minutes. frick Entergy.

Here is the kicker. I had to call my nephew who is a lineman for Entergy in Texas. He called a buddy of his that works for them in LA and that finally got someone to my house.

Sounds like your arse got put in “time out”.

I wouldn’t doubt it. I wouldn’t put anything by the fricks.

Actually if we got put in time out it would be because of the Irish/German redhead I’m married to. I’m way nicer than her

I don’t have a long enough pole to reach it

Make sure it's a metal pole if you find one.

Next time tell them you’re using the pole from your pool skimmer to reset it. They’ll be out instantly. Worked for me with downed lines. Told them I’d go move it out the road.
