Not only do they pad bills with fees that often total twice your electricity rate but they don't bother performing regular upkeep on their infrastructure. In my neighborhood, the power flickers and goes out during every storm. This means they leave up old, wooden poles that constantly sway in storms and sometimes even topple over if the wind speed is just a bit too powerful. Sometimes the power outage is a mere two minutes and the worst yet was this week when my power went out for more than 24 hours. \n\nThe best solution APS could offer, instead of reimbursements or even credits for more than a day without electricity was a bag of ice at 10AM (14 hours after the power went out) and absolutely no ETAs for electricity restoration. How is a bag of ice supposed to keep my family and my pets comfortable when the temperatures reach 106\u00B0 outside? How is a bag of ice supposed to keep a stocked fridge from going bad? A freezer may be able to keep food at a relatively safe temperature for up to 48 hours but a fridge can only do so for 4 hours before the temperatures begin rising. My food already went 10 additional hours without proper cooling, which meant that any \"help\" they provided was just an attempt to save face."^^ . "9"^^ . "0"^^ . .
