Video call assistance

Thinking of everyone's safety, E-REDES launched a new service of attendance by video call that allows you to be attended by an assistant from the service point, through which all customers can interact with the Company, in a convenient, personalized way and without leaving home.

Thanks to this new digital service, any customer can clarify doubts, submit requests for a new connection to the grid, request power increase, submit documentation, among other issues, with complete safety and ease. To do this, simply schedule the service with an assistant for the day and time that is most convenient for you through the E-REDES website. After validation of the appointment, the customer will receive an email and/or SMS with confirmation of the service, the link and the respective instructions for accessing the service. One day before the session, an email reminding the client of the appointment will also be sent.

By enabling a remote access to the services provided by the Attendance Points assistants, regardless of the geography of who requests this interaction, E-REDES guarantees the provision of a service with high levels of quality and efficiency, decisive for the customer's final satisfaction.

The video call service can, depending on the subject and the availability of the teams, be scheduled for the same day or in the following 15 days at a time that is more convenient for you.
