Customer Reviews for AEP Energy

I have not had any problems with this company

If you like the ability to check your account online, contract start and end date, contract rate, usage history, compare your usage to past history. Renew with comparisons to other contracts and provide decent rates. Not sure what you would not like ? If you like 24/7 online access and if you really want to talk to someone a customer service line. Good company for decent rates and account access.

I will NEVER put myself thru this ridiculous procedure to CONTINUE with AEP. 30 minutes on the phone, repeating the same questions again 3 times, drove me to insanity.

AEP Energy emailed me with an offer of $.074 per kilowatt hour. I attempted to enroll and was told my account with PECO didn't exist. That is because I am with PP&L and no mistake on my part was made with enrolling properly. I then was told the new rate would be $.099. Many other cheaper options!!! FRAUD!!!!

I was on a payment plan with AEP. Made 2 payments in February, 1 payment in March and a payment April 7 on April 27 while cooking breakfast for my 3 children my power was cut off. I contacted the company because I thought there was a power outage I was told it was diconnected because of payments I explained that I have made the agreed upon payments they reviewed the information and stated i made my March payment 5 days late they then refused to help me said the only thing that could be done is I pay the $641 to restore my power. Your system is seriously flawed if someone is consistently making monthly payments it's outrageous and despicable that you treat people this way. The only reason you still have consumers is because you have cornered the market in this area. You're a disgusting company who gets rich jacking up prices during the hardest months for the less fortunate I do not recommend you to anyone and I pray for the day that we can use alternative energy and no one will need your services.

I was an AEP Energy customer for several years, earned considerable "rewards" dollars and recently cancelled my contract due to increased rates. Immediately they locked my rewards account and would not allow me to purchase anything from the rewards store. I find this tactic to be akin to punishment for cancelling my contract. My rewards dollars were forfeited and I find this unilateral action very disturbing. I would not recommend AEP Energy to anyone.

I used my rewards dollars to purchase a Sensi smart thermostat they were marketing through one of their promotions, it was supposed to be "green" and save me a ton of money. Before I installed it I made sure to photograph the wiring of the existing thermostat to ensure I had everything done correctly. This was our first winter in a new house that had a heat pump, which can result in higher than expected heat bills so I was not surprised when my bills in early winter were a little higher than expected. When I received a bill for $576.32 for December's usage we made changes to our lifestyle in order to prevent a bill like that in the future including using our fireplace every single night to provide an additional heat source. This resulted in a bill of $817.56. I called my HVAC professional for a service call and he told me that the thermostat was installed correctly, my heating system was functioning properly, and that my 1 year old heater was a phase-inverter, a top of the line system that should not result in bills like that. The problem was that the Sensi thermostat was not triggering the regular heat, but only using the emergency backup heat component of the heat pump, which is considerably less efficient and more expensive. The thermostat did not indicate it was using emergency heat the entire time, nor did the ap that I was using to check on the heater's usage. So he removed the Sensi thermostat that they sold me and the next month the bill had gone down to $569.07. Average daily usage went down from 208 to 168.6 despite it being an average of 6 degrees cooler. I find it more than a bit odd that the thermostat marketed and sold to me by my electric company resulted in my bill being considerably higher than it should have been for months. I contacted them multiple times and every time I was told to contact a different department. Beware of this company, if there is any issue they will not make any attempt to resolve it.

I signed up electronically with AEP Energy. At the end, it gave me an "ELECRIC GENERATION CONTRACT SUMMARY" which was 6 pages that I printed. It noted my Supply price of $4.79. I assumed that all was good at that rate. Got my bill a day or so later and it was still the old price -- I knew that's prob valid because the requested change just took place. The next months' bill went up substantially from the level that I agreed to AND was still with the old supplier. I called and magically AEP has no record of my contract with them. This contract summary is all that I received. and now they want to set me up for a rate that is even higher than the company I was leaving. How can they give me a contract and then not honor it because they cannot see it on their end?

My husband and I began to worry we had an electrical problem throughout our home. Then I recalled when the dimming started. It was when I switched to aep.
