This company is dog water! If you have a choice between several electric companies, DO NOT USE THIS ONE! My power has went out several times within this past month! No warning whatsoever! Just went out again, AND THERE’S NOT EVEN A STORM RIGHT NOW! They like to shut power off randomly and without warning! THEY TAKE THEIR SWEET TIME TO RESTORE POWER! I’ve went 15 hours without power once with this stupid company! I’ll be in contact with several different electric companies to possibly get them to route power to my area. I’ll also be contacting the better business bureau of Tennessee to report them. This is ridiculous! They sure do like to up-charge you as much as possible! Edit: Power has went out 6 times this week! You can’t even call to speak to anyone over the weekend! Their automated s

I'm pretty irritated because this is extremely unprofessional and notice should h

VEC has always been very responsive to any problems we have had. Very prompt and professional. We're out in the country and have issues with trees and power lines. Very common.

The power went out at 2pm it’s 8:30 pm now and still no power. The power goes out almost every week and the only answer you can get is they are aware and it’s necessary for the workers to finish the job safely. What are they working on that takes 6hrs to fix it’s a sunny day with no rain or wind!

Just finished with a power outage @ midnight. Brandon was quick to return my call & a technician came out to verify & fix the concern within a timely manner! Thank you Brandon & VEC team!
