Customer Reviews for APG&E

Absolute scam and cheating attempt. I called 10 days before my electric contract end date to terminate the service. The agent only gave me 2 options to either renew or cancel/terminate contract. I chose option 2. Now they charge me 4 times the rate of duke energy rate and says contract expired and I was moved to open market rates as duke energy did not terminate even after applying ahead of time. This was never informed. I got to know only after looking at the bill 42 days later after asking for cancellation. They silently want you to stay with them until the contract expires so they can charge ridiculous amounts. The agents never gave an option that we need to renew to be on safe side for fixed rate and then raise a cancellation request. This is an option they never want you to know. Its a clear scam attempt. Beware with this company

When my contract was up and I ended up on a variable rate during the time I was waiting for my new contract to begin with another company, AP&G increased my rate for the last months bill by 100%. This is unethical price gauging. If this happens to you report the utility company to whatever authority governs utility companies. AP&G admits it did not send me a notice of a rate increase and refuses to rerate me at a lower cost for KWH. Such a practice places 'The Utility Choice Program here in Ohio in jeopardy.

They did not cancel my electric service as requested and price-gouged me for an extra month. Avoid at all costs!

I had a fixed price contract for $.0475/kw-h with apg&e that was expiring. the contract carried an early termination fee of $150. I decided at the time to switch to another supplier. since my electric company could not be certain of the exact date of the switch they suggested that I wait until after the contract had expired to make the switch in order to avoid the termination fee. for the month after my contract expired apg&e raised the rate to $.1275, a 270% increase over the contract price. when I called them about it I told them that I could not find this rate anywhere on their website. they informed me that they were free to charge me anything they wanted since I was no longer under contract. I did expect the price to be higher after my contract, but almost a 300% increase. c'mon, they simply decided to screw me to the wall. and the PUCO said there was nothing they could do about it. where is the protection of the consumer in all of this. I would have been much better off paying the termination fee. unethical practices that turn consumers against power companies.
