Customers can also chat in their Customer Space or schedule a callback, and outages and equipment failures have their own 24-hour line on the Hydro-Québec contact page, linked in the contact details above. Have the account number from your bill ready.

To make a complaint to Hydro-Québec, start with customer services on 1 888 385-7252 and say clearly that you want to make a complaint. Hydro-Québec also has a complaints office that takes written complaints online or by mail, and its complaints page sets out how long it has to reply. Give your account number, what happened with dates, and what you want put right, and keep a copy of everything you send and of the decision you receive.

Want the complaint set out properly from the first letter? We help you write it in minutes, with the dates, readings and amounts in order.

A Hydro-Québec bill usually rises with heating in the colder months, a longer billing period, an estimated reading followed by an adjustment, or a change in rates. Compare the consumption in kilowatt-hours and the number of days on this bill with the same period a year earlier, and check whether the reading was actual or estimated. If the amount is hard to pay, ask Hydro-Québec about a payment arrangement before the due date, and keep the confirmation.

Yes. The Régie de l'énergie, Quebec's energy board, handles complaints from consumers who are dissatisfied with a decision of their electricity or natural gas distributor in Quebec, and that includes Hydro-Québec bills and services. It generally expects Hydro-Québec to have had the chance to put things right first, so keep a record of every call, chat and letter, and of the decision Hydro-Québec gives you.

Want every contact and decision ready in one place? Bring it through our complaint process: our trained AI opens a case for you and keeps coaching you on what to send Hydro-Québec and when to push again.

No. Hydro-Québec says it never issues refunds or compensation by text or email, and never asks for a credit card number or banking details that way. Messages about a refund or a late payment that urge you to act now and click a link are a common trick using its name.

Nothing has been reported about Hydro-Québec here yet. Our research shows what typically goes wrong at electricity distributors: high winter bills, estimated readings followed by adjustments, payment arrangements and disconnection notices, outages and restoration after storms, delays with moves and new connections, and questions about energy-efficiency grants and programs.

Winter bill far above the same months last year? Be the first to report it: your case opens the record for the next Hydro-Québec household comparing the same kind of bill.

Your complaint gets its own public page on Complain.biz and we get to work: we bring it to the attention of Hydro-Québec through emails, social media, paper complaint letters and other tools at our disposal.

And we stay with it after you file. Our trained AI opens a case file for you and keeps coaching: what to reply, when to push again, and how to escalate if nothing happens.

Yes. We have an active community of consumers, and complaints here are public: people who ran into the same problem with Hydro-Québec can give you advice or back you up with their own story. A complaint with a community behind it is much harder to overlook.
