Showed up to cut off utilities at my home at 5:00pm with ZERO notice. I was shocked as I had no idea there was any issue and wanted to help clear up a misunderstanding with payment (an incorrectly typed account number and honest mistake). The after hours cashier literally told me that the error happened YESTERDAY, so I would not have gotten a letter yet. When calling to correct the mistake of course am unable to speak to anyone since it is after 5. Finally speak to a man named George and am treated like absolute garbage and told that he would be contacting the sheriffs office for assault since my two 10 lb dogs were in my backyard behind the fence and his tech could not get in to work??? Literally had no idea someone would be going into my property so of course my SWEET TEN LB DOGS were outside in the backyard barking at a man in their driveway. George continued to debase and demean me even after I called and literally paid right then. He was intrusive and continued to question me about why my payment bounced and acting as if I was not a loyal customer literally due to a typing error. Never did he act with sympathy. I work in customer service, housing and accounting and do NOT treat my residents this way no matter their payment situation. The way this was handled was absolutely unprofessional. The way that my wife and I were spoken to was insane. If Eastern Pines Water offered electric and gas I would be switching tomorrow because GUC is the worst and people like George make a crazy situation a million times worse.

So much of the architectural integrity of the the central downtown area has been preserved, even highlighted, as the city has grown and spread out in a much more modern fashion. There are over 160 houses and buildings within in walking distance of the waterfront that are on the National Register, and that area contains almost 2000 crape myrtles, the city's official flower. It is a great deal of fun to walk around the downtown area, especially at night when the buildings are all lit up, especially the beautiful City Hall building. New Bern was founded in 1710 by Swiss and Palatine German immigrants, and it is the second oldest city in North Carolina to be settled by Europeans. The town was named for Bern, the capital of Switzerland, and the hometown of many of the initial settlers. The coat of arms of Bern contains the symbol of a bear, and there are brightly painted statues of bears all over the historical area of New Bern, and even an attractive little section named Bear Park.

I rate Duke Energy three stars. It's OK…read more We've been Duke Energy customers in Chapel Hill since June 2020, so for about four years now. I also have a residence in Atlanta and have been a Georgia Power customer there since 2001, at two different Atlanta homes. My three-star rating for Duke Energy is based on comparisons of my experiences between Duke Energy and Georgia Power. It comes down to two main things: 1. I've experienced way more power outages with Duke Energy than with Georgia Power. It's not even close. There have been more outages in four years with Duke Energy than in 23 years with Georgia Power. I know there are many factors that can make some homes more susceptible to outages than others. The places I've lived in Atlanta are more urban and dense than where we live in Chapel Hill, but Chapel Hill isn't in the boonies either. In Chapel Hill, we live close to I-40, apartment complexes, shopping centers, and office parks. Also, the terrain and weather in Chapel Hill and Atlanta are similar. Therefore, it comes down to Duke Energy's grid simply being not as reliable as Georgia Power's. Duke Energy also has a lot of random power blips, which is annoying. 2. When there's a power outage, Duke Energy's mean time to repair is poor. I've experienced multiple outages where it took several hours per outage for power to be restored. On August 15-16, 2023, it took about 24 hours for power to be restored. I lost over a full workday because of it. Because I've experienced so many outages over the last four years, I've grown accustomed to the company's outage alerts, their online outage map, and I even follow Duke Energy employee Jeff Brooks on X (Twitter) for outage information: https://x.com/DE_JeffB Again, in 23 years with Georgia Power at two different homes, I can't recall experiencing any sort of extended outage. If there even is an outage, most of the time, it's just a blip. And I haven't gotten familiar with any of Georgia Power's outage alerts or tools -- because I haven't had to. As a retail customer, Duke Energy has had slightly lower electricity bills than Georgia Power. However, the difference is on the order of magnitude of about 1¢/kWh (not significant). Also, Duke Energy sent us a "free" box of 16 energy-efficient LED light bulbs (9W soft white, 60W equivalent) for being new subscribers back in 2020. That was nice. After four years, I've used seven of the 16 bulbs. We live near the Chapel Hill-Durham border, which is also near the Orange County-Durham County border. These two Triangle cities and counties, along with other Triangle cities and counties (e.g., Raleigh, Wake County, Chatham County) are in Duke Energy Carolinas and Duke Energy Progress overlapped territories. Duke Energy Carolinas is the old Duke Power that I grew up knowing in Guilford County. Duke Energy Progress is the old Progress Energy, which was the combination of the old Carolina Power & Light (headquartered in Raleigh) and Florida Power Corporation. The old Duke Power was and Duke Energy today is headquartered in Charlotte. According to our apartment's management, our complex is served by DEP. This Yelp listing is for Duke Energy in Durham.
