In just the last 3 weeks, our power has been out 3 times, once for 6 hours, another time for just an hour and another time for 13 hours! This is reliable service?? The weather jut has not been that bad. How can I rely on Centerpoint when I really need them? I teach college from home and need power I can rely on for my classes. I have had to stay at hotels and eat out, since it is so hot and the power has been out for so long. If there had been a hurricane or some other major weather event, I could see the reason behind an outage. This year, I power seems to go out two to three times a month. When I contact Centerpoint, no one seems to know anything except "equipment problem".
