CenterPoint Energy power issues damaging Texas appliances

Homeowners in the Lakewood Pines neighborhood of Atascocita, Texas, report that recurring power issues caused by CenterPoint Energy are damaging expensive household appliances. Residents have described experiencing flickering lights and voltage fluctuations that have destroyed air-conditioning units, washers, and other major equipment, resulting in repair and replacement costs totaling thousands of dollars.

Local residents noted that CenterPoint technicians indicated the issues were being caused by the voltage entering the community. Data from Ting Labs suggests that Atascocita homes are experiencing between 2.5 to 3 power outages per month, significantly higher than the U.S. average of 0.5 outages per home per month.

Beyond the financial burden, the unstable power presents health and safety risks, particularly regarding the loss of air conditioning during high Texas temperatures and potential fire risks associated with electrical instability.
