I asked for assistance in helping with my electric bill. The customer service rep said they are unable to email me the information or mail me the information.

I explained that I couldnt write the information down because of early stages of Parkinsons. And she said theyre not able to help me.

STRESS FREE A/C SCAM

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

My advice to everyone is to stay away from FPL Stress-Free Scams!! They are anything but stress-free. I made the mistake of buying one of their Stress-Free A/C systems two years ago and for the last four months, my A/C has gone down every month. Every time the A/C repair company comes out, they say it is something different each visit. I'm paying thousands of dollars for a so-called Stress-Free A/C.

The first time out, they said the system was just a little low on coolant. The second time, it needs a new lineset, which costs a few thousand dollars. The third time, they said it was overcharged with coolant. None of the technicians were aware that our thermostat has a recharge function for the coolant. Now, we're into the fourth month of this nightmare issue.

This time, they said the fan on the outside unit is bad, so they have to order a new fan from a manufacturer who is supposedly located out of the country. So, this stress-free A/C is not stress-free and to top it all, on top of the thousands of dollars I'm paying FPL, I had to place our pets in boarding to get them out of the heat. I had to spend money on portable A/C units that don't work well.

To just top it all off, my electric meter is doing like Mach 8 resulting in sky-high electricity bills. I will copy and paste this post on every social media platform and every community page I can find to warn everyone to stay away from FPL Scams!

Had a power surge. This one did the damage.

Considering the neighborhood and I have been calling about surges several times a week for the past 8 years. So the last surge burnt out a third of my house. FPL comes out twenty minutes later, says my house is overpowered. They leave the power on and leave.

10 minutes later, they pull up and say your power shouldn't be on, it could burn your house down. They changed the transformer and admit it's their fault. So I replace TVs, washer, dryer, Ring security system, AC system, breakers, and fridge. I file with them, they admit it's their fault and say they will make it right, jumped through hoops and got nothing still to this day.

I am out about $7,000. FPL sucks...

Your customer service is non-existent

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Your service is inadequate. I spent over 10 minutes trying to reach a human representative to ask for 'time of day' usage information.

It took me more than 10 minutes to maneuver through your 'auto attendant'. I used to sell and design these systems - I dislike them. I want a human representative. Eventually, I did reach a human who transferred me elsewhere, only for me to be disconnected.

I spent over 31 minutes of cell time on this pointless call. I gave up and navigated the website to find out about 'time of day' usage. I completed a form, but alas, no one called me back. Am I surprised?

No, you have a monopoly, why should you care! I either pay you or I go without electricity. I know we have the right meter because I can read my 'time of day' usage. Why am I not on that system?!!!

Our account number is 632607****.

I checked it and there is no difference in the rate whether I dry clothes or run the dishwasher after 11PM. I am intelligent enough to look at the usage and the applicable charge.

Cons:

Overgrown power lines and poles

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Nothing is being done. Have already lost power about 3 months ago due to tree limbs touching power pole.

Jim Bryant road power lines are completely overgrown. Also power lines running near 207A and Jim Bryant Road junction are also overgrown and haven't been cleared for some time.

Cause FPL are Criminals

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

The could help there customers out better. They are the worst company for customer friendly.

They could care less how you feel cause there going to keep doing what they are doing. You pay a bill to get reconnected and they can't guarantee when you will get cut back on. They say it could take up to 24 hours to get reconnected.

I have 4 little ones, one is a new born and they can't guarantee that my power will be back on today. This is so Criminal and the fact that Florida allows this to happen to faithful customers is ridiculous

Need to speak with a representative

Here's a review:

"I am thrilled to report that my issue with uploading a valid ID for my new account with Florida Power & Light (FPL) has been resolved! Despite initial technical difficulties, the FPL team went above and beyond to assist me.

Their customer service was exceptional, and they worked diligently to address my concerns.

I appreciate their patience and persistence in ensuring that my issue was resolved promptly.

The process was streamlined, and I was able to provide the necessary documentation to verify my identity.

I'm impressed with FPL's commitment to customer satisfaction and their dedication to making the account setup process as smooth as possible.

Thank you, FPL, for your outstanding support! I'm looking forward to a positive experience with my new account."

Log in problems

I started new service with FPL about 2 weeks ago as my wife and I were closing on a house on 7/3. I got that setup online and honestly cannot remember if I set up a password or not.

I have not been able to log into my account from day 1. I have called 5-6 times over the past 2 weeks and at first, they indicate that a ticket was created, and someone would call me, but nobody called me. I tried re-registering, but the system told me that an account already exists. I have tried submitted a password re-set about a dozen times and never get an email back as your system says I should (and yes, I checked the spam folder).

I tried again today and talked to someone in web services who told me there is nothing they can do. You are not a mom-and-pop operation and I would think resetting a password would not require a lot of skill or effort but apparently this simple request is beyond solving, according to web support at FPL.

I cant just walk into an FPL office for help because I am back in Texas getting ready to put our house on the market. When my bill comes out, I would love to be able to pay online.

The last guy I spoke to suggest I just mail in. Brilliant solution huh?

I am really hoping that someone can help me.

Resolved: Billing Issues

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Updated by user Feb 25, 2024

There are no other options.

Original review Feb 24, 2024
We had an issue with our meters about 1yr ago. Someone came out to fix the error.

Prior to this, we felt we were being overcharged. The worker shared that they may make adjustments to correct the additional charges. After the meter was serviced, FPL failed to send us a bill for months. I would check the online portal monthly for updates, yet the balance remained at zero.

At this time, I assumed this was because they were overcharging before the meter was serviced. Months later, we received a large bill where we were given a limited amount of time to pay for the current monthly charge plus the 8 months they failed to charge us. Upset, I called and spoke to several people for answers. A manager shared they were short-staffed and were unable to create and submit a bill to me for almost 8 months.

It was so upsetting that I cried excessively due to their error. The manager had no compassion despite being their fault. He informed me the bill had to be paid because I used their services. Okay, I started making payments for 2 months worth of electricity monthly, basically.

After we've paid off, we are now getting inconsistent billing statements. We get emails about payments that we never made being returned. One time we made a payment for about $250, but we got an email the same day thanking us for a $350 payment. Days later, we received an email stating that $350 payment was returned by our bank.

And we were at risk for disconnection. We contacted our bank after speaking to a rep stating the $250 not $350 was returned by the bank. We filled a fraud complaint with the bank which was denied because they said FPL received this payment. We also keep getting emails about $10 payments being returned that we never made.

At this point FPL has and is continuously causing me and my fiancée so much emotional stress. Each time we get an email it causes so much stress. Calling customer service is useless.

I even tried going to their local office in west palm. HELP!
