Heard when the phone system first answers

"Hi. Welcome to Eversource. This call may be recorded. We're upgrading our customer service system from Wednesday, May twenty ninth through Monday, June third. During this time, some self-service transactions like paying your bill through our automated phone system, on Eversource dot com and our mobile app may be unavailable. If your bill is due during this time, please consider making your payment prior to May twenty ninth or paying by mail. There will be no fee or penalty for late payment. Business will resume as usual by phone and at Eversource dot com on June third. As always, reporting an electric outage or gas emergency through our website, mobile app, and by phone will be available throughout the entire upgrade."
Excerpt from a call with Northeast Utilities
Monday, May 13, 2024 8:25 PM
In fact, much of this information on this page is superfluous because this Northeast Utilities phone number is a direct line to a human being. The line is well-staffed and you should anticipate a very short wait on hold or none whatsoever, as long as you are calling during business hours.
We don't know of any phone menus you would encounter when calling either.

What are the hours and when should I call?

Northeast Utilities operates the call center for this 800-662-7764 phone number 24 hours, 7 days. The short answer is that you should call on a Thursday. This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 212 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).

Automatically call when they open

When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the Northeast Utilities call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Northeast Utilities phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Northeast Utilities staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.

The least busy time to call

The least busy day to call Northeast Utilities is Thursday. The most busy day to call is Monday. Again, this is based on a sample of 212 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

The shortest wait on hold

We measured the shortest hold times to be on Friday. The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Thursday.
But if you use our free call and talk for me or wait on hold for me service, you don't really need to worry about average wait times.

The best time to call Northeast Utilities

In summation, the best day to call Northeast Utilities is Thursday. This is not the day with the shortest wait on hold in the phone system, but we still recommend it for its ideal combination of low call volume and short hold times. Plus we believe that Northeast Utilities staffs the call center well on Thursday.
Once again, please put this information in perspective because this phone number has no phone menu or long waits. It generally gets picked up right away if calling during their opening hours. If there is any way, it will typically be very short.
