I asked for a review of the meter reading because my bill has been around $900 on average a month for the last 3 months. They are going to have someone e contact me to schedule in 20-24 days. Unacceptable. read more

My APS Customer Service Representative "Savannah" was the absolute BEST! Such a wonderful and pleasant experience it was to be assisted by this young lady...INDEED! Not only does Savannah demonstrate the professionalism and aptitude of a top performer; her compassion and support are luminously uplifting! read more

We have solar and APS is charging us for the power we are using during the day which is our own power from our panels. We out produce what we use in a month and we caught them charging us. read more

APS sets an arbitrary $750 maximum charge for credit cards with a $2.65 credit card fee. My monthly electric bill is consistently over $750 a month as Arizona is a desert climate, hence I am forced to pay two credit card fees monthly. I have repeatedly requested the $750 charge limit be adjusted so I would only incur one credit card fee. Neither APS or Paymentus will take accountability. As a former banker, I am well aware that APS has the authority to raise the maximum credit charge. read more

i would rate APS 0 stars if i could. This company is crooked. i live in an 800 sq ft apartment and my bill is 215 at the minimum. my parents house is 4000 sq ft and they are on SRP and its around 150 a month. If i could i would NEVER use APS again it should be illegal how expensive they are. worst company of all time read more

As I continue to buy energy star appliances for some reason my electric bill keeps getting higher and higher. APS is an illegal business practice called a monopoly that I hope it's employees and ownership suffer greatly. There's more fees and taxes on an APS bill then victims at Jeffrey Epstein's read more

But unfortunately your Stuck, my issue is they Hire 3rd party contractors that have started arguments and Racial slurs to other contractor employees but APS fails to take action on these incidents. Just recently we had a company that was contracted by APS, and 3 of those employees stood in the middle of a project screaming racial slurs and a Hispanic employee, then took off their safety vests wanting a physical altercation. Pretty sad APS Allows this to happen and yes, their field managers know about it. Their field operations have lost complete integrity. read more

Horrible customer service I had their service forever call to change. My plan girl tells me I'm on the best plan then I get my bill saying if I was on a different plan I would save $60 called them back to discuss it. They said too bad they are absolutely horrible to deal with. read more

If I could give 0 stars to this company I would. This company disgusts me. They charge for unn things and upcharge bills. Got charged two times in a month and asked for a total refund they ended up taking the money and using for the next bill without ever communicating with the customer on what is happening... so then I received only $32 versus my expectated bill $162 I was absolutely pissed. Customer service representatives don't communicate the protocols with each other and don't care about the cus they just repeat back what's on their end. what changed plans and then before leaving my last place I owed $1,000 who has that type of money and couldn't start another service until paid. I am so sick of this company screwing my family over. read more

It's a shame we have no choice in utility provider, as APS is the Enron of them. They are completely inadequate in all regards, and have zero consideration for the customers that put food on their tables, much less a humane bone in their corrupt organization. Especially customers that have gone solar - these customers are the scum of the earth to APS. DO NOT trust APS at any costs with changing your plan either, as I (and most all APS-provided people in my circles) have jumped from plan to plan multiple times promised savings, of which none have saved us anything at all - in all cases, we have paid more on the "suggested" plan to "save more." BS company that needs to be purged from existence. read more

Very bad customer service. You are on hold forever. It is impossible to speak to someone. I am not sure how we can have this company serve Arizona this way! read more

0 Stars I called APS to have my service turned on. they approved me and got all my information. Then they told me I can't have the electricity turned on and I was responsible for the balance over $2000. My sister had passed away in October so I called APS to inform inform them of this because she lived there. The time I called, they couldn't tell me whose name the bill was under because it was not my account or billing. Having to evict guest that were there after my sister had passed away and being the executor of this home, that shouldn't make me responsible of something that could've been prevented when I called to let them know. APS is now telling me that I am responsible for this bill and have to pay. Why would APD allow the electricity to stay on after I had informed them of my sister's death. I called them in good faith to tell APS my sister passed away. APS customer service assured me that It would not be my responsibility to make that payment if theres any outstanding PMT. They are not keeping their word and backpedaling now that APD let the Bill get out of hand. They are very rude and I've spent hours trying to clear this up. I will NEVER use their service!!

This company don't give sht all they care about is fees and charges. I have SRP and I'm happy with them for 11 years till I move to APS location the shit start read more

They are the Worst power company imaginable! It should literally be illegal the amount of extra fees and charges they add to every bill. My last bill literally had $147.76 charge for "energy delivery service charge sum of tier 1 and tier 2" along with about another almost $200 in other frivolous fees. All on top of their already high base kilowatt charge! I refuse to buy any other home with APS as the power company. I would advise everyone to stay as far away from them as possible! read more

You want me to wait 10 to 17 days so you can mail me a form!?!? Some service ! read more

Far as I'm concerned, APS does fraudulent activity. I've been charged for months asking. Why am I being charged for a meter that has no service on never get an answer never get an answer then finally almost after about a year. I get an answer. They told me oh well you should've just turned that service off for that meter a long time ago That was never an option. I was always told the meters were linked together. Now when I ask APS for a credit, they say well here's $50. Have a great day. Cost of doing business with APS some of the worst customer service I've ever dealt with what a monopoly Arizona. Make sure you go ahead and hide this review to yelp. read more

APS phone reps are so rude!! hate this company. you ask for help and they don't want to help.

I really hate that We don't have the flexibility to choose our providers like other states. What sucks is there's more APS territory than there is SRP, at least in the metro Phoenix area I want to live in. What I really hate about APS is how they've handled the pandemic. In 2020 even though it was just a few short years ago. I was just this kid in his early 20s that didn't know how to navigate this whole situation, I just did the best I could. I was getting less hours but just enough hours to wear my boss didn't have to get unemployment. The IRS also has not given me stimulus checks even though I had at least my 2018 taxes filed at the time. So I'm not making money really. So for months, I'm accumulating electricity, bills, and it keeps building up and up. So now fast forward to 2021, things are somewhat getting back to normal, but now I have to somehow pay all this money back while still having to keep up with the increased cost-of-living while trying to pay these very high electric bills, for the last few years on and off, I've had to pay anywhere from $250 to sometimes $350 because of the deferred amount, normally I should just be paying $70-$100 max. So I'm able to make the payments for a while then life happens, and I end up getting behind again, I've gotten assistance from Salvation Army and DES recently, and it's just not enough still. It's like a never ending cycle. So I had to move out of my apartment because I just can't do it anymore. I mean just four years ago I went from having an $800 rent to a $1400 rent and I'm supposed to maintain electricity by paying three or four times more. If I had SRP I'm firm that I wouldn't have gone through this. read more

Huge thank you to APS for outstanding service provided during recent outage which was extremely brief due to very quick response from APS after reporting the problem. My electricity was back on within 20 minutes and remained on while necessary follow up repairs were done. APS gave me the name and direct contact information for project manager (Lee) who immediately returned my call with answers to my questions and continued to keep me informed of everything being done. All repairs were completed today and the service provided from Lee and his crew was professional, responsive, intelligent, gracious, honest and truly perfection. Thank you again to everyone at APS and especially to Lee and his guys for being the best of the best and also to PDI who I understand worked in coordination with them. read more

I bought a new HVAC system and thought I would qualify for some sort of rebate since everyone that I've known that has purchased one has always told me make sure I call for the rebate. Called this morning and found out that unless the company is on their hand selected list, the new units are not qualified. As far as I know, if you're installing HVAC systems I would assume you'd have to be licensed under the Arizona Registrar of Contractors, so why does it matter which company does the job. This company's a joke. Prices are crazy high and pricing strategy is confusing as hell. On top of that, they only appear to want to help the consumer but in reality it's all just a cash grab for them. I would hate to work at this company and constantly have to tell people "I'm sorry but because of policy XYZ you don't qualify for this rebate or this pricing plan". Now I know why some people will refuse to buy houses where the electric has to come from APS. read more

Why would you do a schedule power outage during the heatwave and freeze warning. Why and whi does that. They are missing common sense. I live in a area with a large population of elderly neighbors. Think about what your doing and what risk your putting your customers in. read more

Gave one star, only because zero stars isn't an option. APS in Phoenix is better than APS in Paulden, AZ. News flash, it will take APS three and a half hours to fix power outage in Paulden AZ. While SRP would only take an hour if that long. The price of groceries is of no concern to APS. Yet, APS in Paulden have 2022 trucks, gasoline is free, and they think that the slower they are, they'd get respect. Why does APS have a monopoly on power in our area? Why can't we get another company whom does not take three and a half hours to figure out how to to complete a job in a small town faster? read more

Worst utility company I have ever dealt with by far! The prices are outrageous! They wont blink an eye before shutting off your air in the 115f summer weather if you are a week late. If someone dies/gets sick due to heat exhaustion in their own home, theres no way those low lives would give 2 craps or face consequences. Some of the past Corporate Commissioners were ex employees of APS..prob not really though. APS is most likely in bed with our local and state government. They make bucket loads of money on our backs, only to most likely grease the palms of the Reps we vote in to protect us. read more

Arizona Public Service Co - Arizona Public Works - Utilities Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I've been a customer for APS for 20 years, and I'm very disappointed with their services...They charge a LOT for an apartment like mine of 800 SQ feet, that does NOT have A/C just a swamp cooler for summer time and 2 Radiators for winter time...I am very frugal, I count my money very carefully, I am retired with a very low Income...I don't put up lights for Christmas, the swamp cooler is used very carefully, and it cost way to little comparing with a A/C...This year they charged me more for the month of july( 90 degrees) than the month of oct-nov(79 degrees) by their estimations,as average...Outside was 115 degrees... It' insane! Talking to them it's not helpful, trying to say that could be something wrong with my A/C...I don't have an A/C for 10 years...They read that Meter whatever the way is beneficial to them, nobody can verify a thing...They might say that is something wrong with the meter...They installed it...They also said that a physical person will come to read-check the meter...wait!!! in 20 days...Daah!!! Pls people all over Arizona, talk to APS, hoping that things will be changed for Better...Thank you for reading me... read more

9 12 17 I received my APS bill on 8 10 17. In the envelope was a note saying their printer had problems and was late in sending out bills. The amount of the bill was $266.08 with included a discount of $31.75. This would bring the total before discount $297.83 and this is for a 12 ft. X 60 ft. mobile home. I looked at the Average daily electricity use per month comparison from July of 2017 to July of 2016 and saw an outrageous difference in comparison. I immediately called APS and told them I disputed the amount. I live alone and did nothing different from last year to cause such a great increase. Then I got the "OH THIS WAS AN EXCEPTIONALLY HOT YEAR, BLA, BLA, BLA" BLOW OFF. I CALLED AZ CORP COMMISSION AND TOLD THEM MY COMPLAINT TO WHICH THEY REPLIED THEY WOULD CONTACT APS AND HAVE ONE OF THE CSR INVESTIGATE. Shortly thereafter I received a call from aps Customer Representative named Tracy Dean. I told her the problem and also insisted that just looking at the comparison from last year this bill was in error. She said she would get back to me. I stated that I reside in the same mobile I have for the last 25 years, a 12 ft. X 60 ft. live alone and have had no difference in my life style from last year yet just looking at the average daily electricity use per month comparison to last year there has to be some kind of error. The current bill being just shy of $300 for the month. She said she would check into it and get back to me. Get back to me she did. After checking into the situation she did notify me that there would be a $41.00 credit and that it would be applied to my next month's bill. I am a senior on a limited income and on behalf of all seniors living on a very limited income I want to extend a sincere thank you for her professionalism and promptness. The $41.00 credit shows me that not only is there a God but that large corporations do make mistakes. It is too bad that not all CSR really do look into it as many just want to just get rid of you. read more

Worst public utility ever! Expensive and unresponsive. I just waited on hold for 30 minutes and gave up.

APS was my provider when I first moved to Arizona from Washington DC in 2003. The fact that power remained on during and after storms gave it a huge plus after the horrors of PEPCO. The couple of times we did lose power during monsoon season it was restored within a couple of hours so no harm done. The service itself was reliable. But--it was crazy expensive. We rented a two-BR apartment and the bills were over $100/month almost every month, including the cool season. Now some of this is because the apartment complex didn't maintain their HVACs (we lost power over July 4 weekend!) but it should have been much lower during the months when we didn't need AC or heat. Since those days, I bought a home in SRP territory. More power failures but none last long and the cost is far lower in my 2-story townhome. Disclaimer: I briefly worked on a contract with APS. They are phasing out storefront payment in some areas. You can pay online with a credit card but there is a fee charged by the third-party processor (can't avoid this). The best way to pay is to set up automatic payments online. Also check their site for tips on saving energy. read more

APS is absolutely deplorable. They have a complete monopoly on Phoenix. Consumers don't have a choice for power service provider and because APS knows this, they charge like old mob racket. I have had service with them, again, no choice, and one day I get a letter stating that I have a security deposit required. I had service at this new address for 5 months before this came to so I called. They told me because I was past the due date that they can at their discretion ask for one. EVEN AFTER SERVICE HAS BEEN CONNECTED. I obviously have no choice in the matter. I asked them what past due meant. They told me after 13 days!!! My mortgage allows 30 days. The credit bureau reporting system is based on 30 days. The whole world works off 30 days. Past due after 15. Very crafty how the bill is due JUST before most people would pay their bills from their paycheck on the 15th. They charge me 1.5 times my bill for the last 12 months. Now remember, I have only been there for 5 months so rather than judge it on MY last bills which are low, I have to be averaged off of another family. So the deposit was massive. So I tell them (based on principal) that I cannot afford to pay it. So they say they will separate it into 2 payments (how generous). So I make the first payment of 80. Mind you, this is NOT for services rendered. Next month I get my bill in the mail, and like every month, I pay it. Few days later my power gets shut off. I think its a building fuse or from a storm, but as I am walking to the maint office, I see the yellow tag on my meter. So I call APS and say WTF?? They tell me I was shut off for non payment. I quickly log on to my bank and see it was paid and I tell them this. They say, " no, it was for security deposit". I asked them what do I owe on my service. They said nothing. I said, so I got disconnected over an arbitrary deposit when my bill is paid in full? They said yes. They then tell me there is a reconnection fee and if I want it done that day there is 100 rush fee. Now, this is all happening in the morning. I went to the gym and came home within the hour. So you know the service guy was within a mile. I talked to the "manager" and he was " nice enough to cut me a break" and not charge a reconnection fee. So I waited until the next day so I wouldn't have to pay the rush fee, and avoid reconnection. So because it was a cool 115 that day, I had to sleep at my gf's, WITH MY 2 KIDS!!!! The next day all of my food was bad and still cost me over 100 for no reason. APS needs to be stopped and there needs to be regulation. read more

September 14, 2016 UPDATE: I received both an EMail and a Telephone follow up call from APS Customer Operations Leader Kathy Langstaff today. Kathy spent well over an hour talking and working together with me on the APS website showing how the billing / charging per KwH is set up. The issue is quite complex with having 21 or so total fees going in to making up your final APS bill for the month. However, Kathy endured my barrage of questioning, much of which I could have been a bit more tactful in presenting to her because I thought I may have been being cheated and was just overall frustrated thinking APS was just not going to follow up with me. After our conversation I have to say that I'm quite impressed with how Kathy represented APS and the fine job she is doing for them in the Customer Service department. So, if anyone out there needs a professional from APS to answer their questions please contact Kathy Langstaff. She is as good as it gets! September 13, 2016 APS. What a shame. No one from their Customer Service Department including Supervisors can answer a simple question as to why I am being charged one rate per KwH in my contract, but a higher rate per KwH on my bill. I found this out inadvertently by doing an on-line comparison of my old electric bills vs. my new electric bills after having a new Air Conditioner installed a few months ago. I believe I have been an APS customer since at least 1990 and I can't help but wonder if have been overcharged for the past 26 years? I contacted a Customer Service representative on August 11, 2016 and they were unable to answer my question. So, they forwarded me to a Customer Service Supervisor named "Esther M." Esther was unable to answer my question and took my information with a promise to call me back. A week had past and I had not heard back from "Esther M." so I called her back. She said she was "still working on it." Folks, how hard can this really be? To "Esther's" credit she did call me back a few days later saying she was unable to answer my question but had forwarded to an APS Analyst for review. On August 24th, "Esther M." gave me a courtesy call-back and said "The Analyst did not have the answer and is waiting on the "APS.Com" team for the answer." No one from APS has called me back since August 24th. I guess this is beyond the "Difficult" level for Customer Service? No luck at the Customer Service level with APS, so naturally go to their supervisor: The Vice President for Customer Services at APS is named STACY DERSTINE. She seems to very difficult to get a hold of and apparently does not list any way to contact her on the APS web sites, and the Supervisors would not give me her direct information. However, after an internet search I called their Corporate Headquarters at (602) 250-1000 on September 8th and got a voice automated system. STACY DERSTINE'S voice mail is answered by someone other than her. I left a voice message along with my email address outlining my concerns and asked for a call back. I also believe I discovered STACY DERSTINE'S EMail address and sent her a note with the same concerns. However, The Vice President for Customer Service has not responded with my Customer Service inquiry. Not very professional in my humble opinion. The Email was not rejected or returned so I know it went through. The previous Vice President for Customer Service was named Tammy D. McLeod. She would send out an Annual Account Summary in the mail to all APS customers and give her EMail address and Telephone number if you had any questions. If I can't "shame" APS into professionally following up with me, I'll take this note and all of my documentation to the Corporation Commission for assistance. Customer Service folks. It's not as difficult as APS seems to be making it. read more

First bill I ever got was for $10 millions dollars, its not a joke. I have a small business that surely did not use that much electricity. I called customer service 3 times to fix this, everyone there is an idiot. So I took the bill to the main office downtown phoenix. Was told by security that I cannot make a payment there, I laughed so hard I cried. I showed them the bill and said I need to speak to someone to clear this matter up and not leaving until I do. Finally a woman called down from her office but would not come down personally and said the problem will be fixed asap. So the next bill came, and now I have a 10 million dollar credit! If I was single, no kids no responsibilities, I would be in Aruba right now! But NO, I took it back down there and showed it to security again. I had about 6 APS employees come and look at bill and laugh or shake their heads but no help. I finally got a hold of Joanne Rodriguez (using name this time), same lady I spoke to before who said she would fix problem and told her about new problem, she again would not come down to lobby and again, said it would be fixed. Well I finally got a bill that was right after 4 attempts. But now I am trying to login to my account and it wont let me because it says the account does not exist, so I put in address of where service is, and again, I DON'T EXIST!!!!! No problem, FREE ELECTRICITY!!! read more

Watch out! They will change your plan without your consent to a plan that will cost you 100-s of $$$ more. monitor your plan monthly

If there was an option of less than one star i would give it. APS is the worst. They add random fees to your account and don't explain why, it takes HOURS to get in touch with them on the phone, they don't send your bill and then try to charge you late fees and their automated phone system is a nightmare. If you are lucky enough to have another power company option, go with them! read more

Worst company I've ever dealt with. The only game in town so everyone's hands are tied. Horrible just horrible

I wish I could leave 0 stars. Every time I have had to use this company it has always been one thing after another when it comes to them overcharging me. All they care about is money and do not care how they get it. Do not move and transfer the service because all they will do is add the new address to the account and still charge you for a place you do not live in. When you call them about they will not remove the charge from your account either so then you are stuck paying for a service you have not used in that month. read more

APS is a great utility and offers many options in the form of technology for customers. There are several dedicated and hard working people who help a lot of people at APS. Overall, I think APS is in for the long haul and will be handling tough issues that most utilities don't touch. read more

Ive been using APS for over a year now and they are super easy to use. The automated phone line is not hard to use either.

Thank you APS! read more

When will someone do something about the mafia like treatment that we the public gets from this monopoly? My bill was up to date but I was still shut off because they wanted a $310 deposit because I had to late payments with in the last 12 months. this company can do whatever they want to us the public because there is no other game in town. It isn't fair to people who struggle to make their bills every single month to take more money from them when there's an issue. And I'm not even behind right now. maybe it is time to get the state government involved in reforming their tactics. They are extortionists. read more

Completely uncooperative unhelpful and unwilling to do anything to help anyone with anything except for the way they want to do things. This is what happens when you have monopolies. I wait on hold 25 minutes to talk to them and the only way they will do anything is if both my wife and I authorize to turn service on because we are both on account. That is my mistake never put two names on your account!! Thank goodness we are selling our home and will never have to use aps ever again. They suck!!! read more
