    Answered
    I had AES out on 10/30/23 fix a partial outage at my house and when they came I was told that they couldn’t find a problem on their end and to call an electrician because it was something inside my house. I had an electrician out on two different occasions but they didn’t find any problems on my end or anywhere in my house. I dealt with having an off and on partial power loss for 4 months before AES finally figured out that the transformer was faulty and replaced it. I was unable to run my furnace all winter and had to use electric heaters on the part of the power that actually worked. I also have a well so therefore I also didn’t have running water for 4 months. I had outrageous utility bills all winter and when I reached out to AES today explaining that I don’t feel I should have to eat this cost they told me it was my breakers. Really? Wow! I had to have AES come 4 times for the same issue every time. I never changed out any breakers or had to fix anything in my home. The problem was never resolved until they fixed the transformer two days ago.

    Horrible company to say the least. I recently bought a house and signed up for all utilities, starting with AES. They said I had been a great customer with them and I wouldn’t have to pay a deposit. I was happy about that. First bill came, great. Second bill came and they decided to add a $270 deposit… I called them confused on why they wouldn’t reach out and explain this to me before hand and how that was okay to do to someone. They said they “changed their mind” basically and “made a mistake”… Ha. Seems like that’s a “mistake” you would just have to deal with, no add to someone’s bill 2 months later out of the blue. I called them and they said there’s “nothing they can do” and suggested I reach out to local churches for donations. What a greedy joke of a company. 0 Stars if I could.

    AES Ohio Response

    04/03/2024

    Thank you for the inquiry regarding our customer's deposit concerns. Our customer had previous service with AES Ohio from 02/25/22 - 03/06/23. During this period of time, they had 6 late payments (04/18/22, 11/15/22, 12/14/22, 01/17/23, 02/15/23, & 04/03/23) plus a returned payment (paid 11/17/22, returning 11/23/22). Our customer's deposit was originally waived using their soft utility credit score, but due to the pay history directly with AES Ohio, a deposit for the new account is required. Deposits are held until 12 consecutive months of on-time pay history has been achieved. Deposits may be waived with a guarantor (co-signer) or the PIPP program for lower-income families. For additional information on deposits, please visit: https://www.aes-ohio.com/security-deposit. Thank you.
