What are the hours and when should I call?
Puget Sound Energy operates the call center for this 888-225-5773 phone number Mon-Fri 7:30am-6:30pm PT. The short answer is that you should call on a Wednesday. This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 368 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
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 Puget Sound Energy 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 Puget Sound Energy 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 Puget Sound Energy 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 Puget Sound Energy is Wednesday. The most busy day to call is Monday. Again, this is based on a sample of 368 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.
The best time to call Puget Sound Energy
In summation, the best day to call Puget Sound Energy is Wednesday. 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 Puget Sound Energy staffs the call center well on Wednesday.
