Yea, what is with all the ass rape charges. You should look at you water bill too.
We were just talking about this last week when we saw our bill. We are on the energy savings plan with APS and our bill stays the same all year long, until they access our usage at the end of the yearly period.
We have always done well and our bill never went up over the years. Well, a few months ago we purchased all Pella windows, our electric usage dropped severely and bam, Fucking APS jacked our bill and charged us 50 bucks more a month. When we called, they told us they have the right to access our usage at any time and not annually.
Well, they jacked our ass....so much for trying to save energy.
APS is the biggest bunch of fucking crooks
