Salem electric is a terrible company and will shut off your electricity off without calling you for $100 bill. If I would have gotten a phone call I would have taking care of my bill promptly as I thought it was on auto pay. Be aware they will not call you and just shut your electricity off I had a terrible experience and their service personnel are terrible and will not work with you and charge a huge re-hook fee.
I've been a customer for over three years and that I have always paid my bill this is no way to treat loyal customers, if I could choose another electric company I would. 100% thumbs down

I have never had a problem with Salem Electric. The staff have always been kind and never rush me. They have a one time program where they can help you out with a portion of your bill. I went in there and mind you I'm bi-polar and was having a really down day, I was stressed I was very depressed and thought that they honestly wouldn't help me because I was unemployed at the time.
Not only did they help me, the lady who I forget her name and I feel horrible over it, she listened to me when I just started crying and had a total I guess you could say, everything that was happening just came out. She listened to me and let me cry gave me tissues and was just there. I have made a promise that I will always live in a Salem Electric area because of that reason and this happend on the 31 of January 2017. They have a customer for life
