This team has proven once again that they're the best. After the call it took them 15 to 20 minutes to get to my house and another good 20 minutes at the alley and we had our power back. Its amazing how It takes more time contacting the customer service than a whole electric installation. I didn't get they're names but it's a general thank you to all the technicians at this specific department. Kudos.

My primary complaint is their terrible web interface. It’s designed very poorly and is difficult to use. It needs an update badly. Since this is the primary way many of us interact with Garland power and light this is a big problem. Also, do not forget to pay your water which is part of your electric bill. They give a 15 day grace period and then they shut it off with little or no notice. Much more aggressive than water services in surrounding cities. It’s a bigger problem. because your electric and water are merged on the same bill. So both must be paid together. My experiences with customer service have been average. I have not had any power outages.

They don't give you the choice to shop for A better company. The photo below is after a 30 minute light rain storm. We didn't have power for 2 hours along with 500+ other people. No power lines went down. They just don't care about their customers.

Yes, if you live in a part of Garland where GPL is the electric provider. All those services will be on a single bill.

I not to long moved to the Garland area do you pay lights and water with the same company and why are they so expensive I called today to see how much it was going to be to start they said 200 dollars like wow why so nuch

If you live in a part of the city that GPL provides electricity, then yes, you will pay the city for both lights and water. They are bundled on one bill along with sanitation and sewer/storm water. That 200 is the deposit. Remember, you're paying a deposit for TWO basic utilities, not just one.

What do I need to transfer my eletricty to anyther apartment

Ashley Ceglarek | Oct 20, 2018
Russell C | Oct 20, 2018

They'll still charge the $30, even within the complex, as it's considered a different "premise". Also, make sure your account is current, usually they'll ask for any past due balance to be paid prior to transfer.

I want to get a new electrical panel and everyone tells me I have to put it on outside of house because thats the new code? Is this correct? Can't I put it in garage or breezeway?

Andrea Semple | Oct 20, 2018
Russell C | Oct 20, 2018

No. Most city codes (including Garland) require that if a panel upgrade is done that the panel be moved outside adjacent to the meter base. Its due to safety concerns.

Is the electricity out in parts of Garland ,tx?

There was earlier but I am told everything should be restored.

Will they turn my water on on a Saturday

Nezuko Kamado | Oct 20, 2018

That depends. If you're all paid up, the computer there shows it and they have availability of techs.
