FAQ · 43229

Common questions

Who is my electric utility in ZIP 43229?

AEP Ohio is the delivery utility (EDU) for ZIP 43229 (Columbus). It delivers electricity, maintains wires/poles, and restores outages. Because Ohio has retail choice here, you pick a CRES supplier for the energy supply portion of your bill (or stay on the utility SSO). Compare offers at Energy Choice Ohio Apples to Apples or WattKarma’s ZIP page.

Who do I call when the power goes out in 43229?

Call AEP Ohio at 800-672-2231, or report/track outages via https://www.aepohio.com/outages/. Your competitive supplier does not restore wires or poles. For a downed power line, stay far away and call 911 and the utility.

How do I compare electricity plans for 43229?

Use the PUCO Energy Choice Ohio Apples to Apples charts (https://energychoice.ohio.gov/) or WattKarma (https://wattkarma.com/zip/43229). Compare the supplier generation price to the Price to Compare (PTC) on your utility bill at your expected kWh. Watch contract length, early-termination fees, and whether a governmental aggregation already covers your address.

What is the Price to Compare (PTC) on my Ohio electric bill?

The PTC is the utility’s generation price for Standard Service Offer (SSO) customers. Use it as a benchmark when shopping Apples to Apples offers. If a supplier’s advertised rate is not lower than the PTC after fees and term length, staying on SSO (or your aggregation rate) may be better.

What is Energy Choice Ohio Apples to Apples?

Apples to Apples is the PUCO’s official comparison chart of certified electric (and gas) supplier offers by utility territory. It is Ohio’s equivalent of Texas Power to Choose — use energychoice.ohio.gov, not PowerToChoose.org.

What is governmental aggregation in Ohio?

Many Ohio cities and counties run opt-out governmental aggregation: the community negotiates a supplier rate for residents who do not opt out. Check mail notices, your city website, and your bill. Aggregation does not change your delivery utility or who restores outages.

Is electricity competitive (shoppable) in 43229?

Yes for typical investor-owned utility addresses served by AEP Ohio. Delivery is regulated; supply is competitive via CRES suppliers. Note: a small number of Columbus addresses are on the City of Columbus Division of Power (municipal) and are not in the same retail-choice market — address-verify if your bill says Division of Power.

How do I start water service in 43229?

Typically Columbus Water & Power 614-645-8276. Some contract-community or township pockets bill differently—address-verify on your prior bill.

Who picks up trash in 43229?

City of Columbus routes: 311 / 614-645-3111. Edge parcels may use township/private haulers—address-verify.

Who provides natural gas in 43229, and what if I smell gas?

Columbia Gas of Ohio is the typical LDC for this metro. If you suspect a leak: leave immediately, avoid switches/flames/phones inside, then call 911 and 800-344-4077 from a safe place.
