Behind the Scenes: How AEP Ohio’s Canton Repair Shop Keeps the Lights On
No one ever wants to be without power, especially in extreme temperatures. AEP Ohio employees take pride in providing safe and reliable power, and the Canton Equipment Repair Shop plays a critical role in making that happen. The crews at this facility do more than refurbish vital electrical equipment; their innovative and resilient work ensures that communities across Ohio stay powered.
“If a piece of equipment can be repaired and pass a rigorous safety test then this helps crews avoid waiting on new parts that could be delayed weeks or months by supplier backlogs and supply chain issues,” said Equipment Repair Supervisor Aaron Kurtz.
How It Works
AEP Ohio makes no compromises when it comes to the quality of the electrical service it provides to its customers. When broken equipment arrives at the shop, the team’s first step is to perform a thorough inspection to determine whether it can be repaired. After the team makes repairs, they meticulously test the equipment, ensuring it meets both industry standards and AEP Ohio’s high safety requirements.
Why It Matters
Every repair, test and upgrade contribute to a larger goal: keeping electricity flowing safely and reliably to 1.5 million customers. By combining technical expertise with a proactive approach, the Canton shop is a cornerstone of AEP Ohio’s promise to deliver power you can count on.
