How to Shop & Switch Gas in PA

The first step is determining if competitor suppliers serve your area. In places where companies compete, you have better control over how much you pay on your utility bill. If you live in an area that is serviced by only one supplier, you can still shop for new offers and promotions from that company, you’ll just have limited options.

How to Compare Gas Suppliers

One of the challenges of selecting a new natural gas company is that the details between different contracts aren’t always direct comparisons. For example, some plans don’t have a minimum contract period while others do. Before you do anything, review your current contract’s disclosure statement to see if there are any penalties or cancellation fees. That will make it easier to compare contract terms.

How to Switch Your Gas Supplier

Now that you ve found the right deal, take a few simple steps to make it official and begin saving.

1. Sign Up With Your New Supplier
Once you’ve determined if there’s a cancellation penalty and have identified the supplier that can provide you with the best offer, sign up for their service.

2. Check Your Mail
When the request has been submitted, your natural gas distribution company (NGDC) will send you a confirmation letter in the mail to verify that they received the request. This letter will include the name of your new supplier and when you can expect the switch to take place.

3. Enjoy Your Savings
When it comes to paying the bills, every little bit helps. Spending some time researching the options and promotions that are available to you can go a long way toward cutting down on the costs of natural gas in your home or business.
