We’ll notify you in advance with details of any work to be performed on your property. Please be sure we have the best phone number and email address to reach you at AEPOhio.com/Account.
You may experience a brief power outage when our crews install new electric equipment. These interruptions should not last more than two hours. We will notify you with details in advance of any scheduled outages. Please be sure we have your best contact information at AEPOhio.com/Account in case we need to get in touch.
While our crews are completing this work, our equipment will be set at a more sensitive setting to ensure their safety. The setting shuts off the power if a situation occurs on our equipment that puts our employees at risk. Be assured our field personnel will work to get the power back on as quickly as they safely can. If you have questions, please call our 24-hour Customer Solutions Center at 800.672.2231.
Temporary lane restrictions may be needed throughout the construction process. We'll coordinate with local traffic control to minimize the impact while working to ensure safety for the community and our crews.
