My concern isn't billing related or service related…read more On two occasions, first about a year ago I witnessed a group of service men outside a housing community. Spewing racially charged comments towards the residents. Called on to report this conduct and ended up falling on deaf ears. Today, as I drove down Main St in Poughkeepsie. I observed two workers unloading a service truck gawking and woofing. At what could've been a 20-25 year old young lady. From my window I yelled " get back to work" in reply I believe I heard a vulgar response. I from that time and for the following hour was bounced around on calls to file a report. Again feeling the Deaf Ear! Unacceptable Central HUDSON !!!

* If I could give Central Hudson -10 stars, I absolutely would…read more My experience with Central Hudson has been nothing short of infuriating, exhausting, and deeply disappointing. The customer service, billing practices, communication, and overall treatment of customers have been absolutely unacceptable. A particularly disturbing incident happened during our most recent interaction with one of their representatives, Maria. She came to our property and disconnected our power without knocking, ringing the doorbell, or providing any notice or warning that she was about to do so. There was no meaningful attempt to communicate with us before taking an action that directly affected our household. That level of disregard is completely unacceptable. And unfortunately, this is not an isolated frustration. We have repeatedly encountered issues involving questionable billing, inaccurate readings, audit concerns, unexplained fees, and conflicting information regarding our account status. We have made payments in full, only to subsequently be told that we are past due or facing a final termination warning because of charges and fees that we were never properly informed about or given an opportunity to acknowledge or dispute. At some point, customers have to be able to trust that their utility company is accurately measuring usage, accurately billing them, properly documenting charges, and communicating before taking serious action. That basic level of accountability has been severely lacking in our experience. What makes this even more frustrating is that, in our area, there aren't many alternatives. We are seriously looking into transitioning to a full solar setup because we would rather invest in our own energy solution than continue feeling trapped in a system where we have so little confidence in the company providing our service. And if another legitimate energy provider becomes available in our area, I will switch without hesitation. Central Hudson should be listening to the customers who have been voicing these concerns instead of treating them as isolated complaints. The fact that so many other customers have expressed similar frustrations only makes this experience more concerning. Customers deserve transparency. Customers deserve accurate billing. Customers deserve advance communication. And customers absolutely deserve to be treated with basic respect. I am beyond disgusted with my experience with Central Hudson, and at this point, I would strongly encourage anyone considering their energy options to do your research, understand your bills, document every interaction, and know your rights as a customer. Central Hudson: this needs to be better.

A November delivery from Petro was over $1.50 more per gallon than Jurassic. Just got my 3rd delivery from Jurassic and all have been great. They have always delivered before their promise date which is usually within 3 days anyway. Their online ordering is simple and effective. They also email right away to confirm your order. Regarding pricing, they have always been lower or tied for lowest with anyone else and dramatically lower than the average pricing posted by the state. Since their website is so efficient, I haven't spoken to anyone there, but their drivers are always respectful of our property, do their job, and leave so you might not even realize they they were there until you look at your tank or in your mailbox. You do have to monitor your tank level and place the order as they don't monitor your estimated level, but heck, as a homeowner you should monitor anyway. Also, there are no contracts. It seems like their business philosophy is simple...provide quality product, reliable service and a great price and they retain customers. Look at their website for prices and if you are paying more, give them a try. I'm glad I did!
