The web-based panel presentation will feature case studies of electric, gas, and water utilities throughout the United States that are discovering how residential customer service enhancements such as home emergency repair programs can be key drivers behind increases in customer satisfaction scores among program participants.

Discussion will focus on how these programs can be added to a utility's product portfolio as revenue-enhancing during times when budget constraints may be leading to service cutbacks elsewhere.
