From time to time, forces of nature and other factors can interrupt service and cause damage to a home or business.
Most commonly, damage is caused by storms, high winds and lightning or equipment failure. In these cases, AES Ohio is not responsible for reimbursing a claim. In many instances, damage is more likely to be covered by a home owner's or business insurance policy or other type of insurance.
