Is it Time for You to Choose Your Natural Gas Supplier?

Posted by º April 11, 2012 º Natural Gas º 0 comments


Though natural gas is an excellent fuel for heating the home, you may be paying more then you need to for your natural gas supply. Many homeowners settle for their local utility’s natural gas rate by default, without realizing they can actually shop around for their gas rate.  As the result of deregulation, Natural Gas Choice programs in many states allow home and business owners the opportunity to choose a price plan from a licensed supplier. Is it time for you to choose your own natural gas supplier? Let’s see if we can help.     

Why not just stay with the utility’s rate?
More and more customers are recognizing the advantages to choosing their own natural gas plan.  According to the Michigan Public Service Commission, natural gas choice in Michigan is at an all time high.  Now customers are able to shop and compare rates, terms and customer service before selecting a licensed supplier that’s right for their needs. VolunteerEnergy, for example, is one of Michigan’s fastest growing natural gas suppliers offering competitive natural gas rates, month-to-month service and no cancelation fees.

What are the different types of rate plans available?
Most suppliers offer either a fixed rate or variable rate plan.  Fixed rate plans lock you into a given rate for a specified period of type.  Regardless of whether the market goes up or down, you still receive the given rate during the term of your contract.  Variable rates change on a month-to-month basis and are best for those who want to take advantage of periods when the market is flat and rates stay the same or go down.

Is it difficult to switch?
Switching natural gas suppliers is quite easy. Your current utility stays the same.  The only change is the rate you pay for your natural gas.  In most markets, your utility will continue to send your monthly bill, provide meter reading and respond to all service calls, just as they’ve always done.  Your new gas supplier will simply be noted on your gas bill, along with the new gas rate.

If you’re ready to make the switch, contact VolunteerEnergy today. With several rate plan options, and no cancelation fees, you’ll be on your way toward saving on your home’s natural gas. To learn more, call us today at (877) 371-3235.

Findlay Reminds Residents to Look for Natural Gas Letter From VolunteerEnergy

Posted by º October 25, 2011 º Aggregations º 0 comments

Findlay, Ohio  – Findlay City officials would like to remind residents and small businesses to look for a mailer to arrive later this week concerning the new natural gas aggregation program offer from Volunteer Energy Services. Volunteer Energy Services won a competitive bid as the City’s supplier.  Residents and small businesses who decide to participate in the City’s natural gas program will pay a low fixed-rate of 55.2 cents per Ccf for all gas consumed during the twelve-month billing-cycle period, December 2011 through November 2012.

Mayor, Pete Sehnert explained, “Volunteer Energy Services will be sending out two similar letters to groups of customers in our community.  Please read your letter carefully as some residents will be automatically included into our program unless they opt-out during a 21-day period as stated in the letter, while others will have to take action to join.”  Sehnert added, “We are delighted to have been able to strike such a low rate for our residents and small businesses. Our fixed rate is lower than any other comparable offer on the PUCO’s Apples-to-Apples comparison chart and will help residents control their heating costs this winter.”

Jerry Smith, Director of Producer Services of Volunteer Energy Services said, “We are pleased to be the City’s new supplier.  For those customers needing to take action to join the City’s program we’ve set up two means of enrollment for their convenience.  First, residents and small businesses may call Volunteer Energy Services at 1-800-977-8374 and press option 1.  Secondly, they may return the reply card that comes with the letter sent to their home or business.”  If you are served by another supplier you should be aware of the obligations in your existing contract before joining the Findlay City program, as many suppliers charge a penalty for early termination.  Customers wishing to join the program must be in good standing with their bill payment and cannot be part of the utility’s Percentage of Income Payment Program (PIPP).

The City is pleased to have made this program possible but asks that you do not call the City offices.  They are not equipped to handle a large volume of calls.  Residents should contact Volunteer Energy Services toll free at 1-800-977-8374 if they have any questions.
