Fall Reminder - Check Your Natural Gas Provider

Fall is the perfect time to review your natural gas provider options and lock in savings for the upcoming winter months. In Pennsylvania, most residents have the power to choose their natural gas supplier, which means you can shop around for the best rates and services that suit your needs. By switching your natural gas supplier, you are choosing a different company to supply the gas to your local gas lines, not changing the physical gas lines themselves. This gives you greater control over your home or business's energy bill, and can result in significant savings, especially during the winter when gas usage typically increases.

When you switch natural gas suppliers, you are not changing the company that owns and operates the gas lines that run to your home. Your local natural gas distribution company (NGDC) will continue to provide distribution service, make repairs to its delivery system, and respond to emergencies. The rates for distribution service are regulated by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PA PUC), but you can choose the company that provides the gas supply to your local NGDC's lines. This choice can be based on the lowest price, services, and/or incentives offered by the supplier.

It's important to note that competitive offers from natural gas suppliers may not be available in all areas of Pennsylvania. However, if you live in an area where you can choose your supplier, fall is the ideal time to make the switch and lock in a lower rate before the winter months. By taking the time to research and compare different natural gas suppliers, you can ensure that you are getting the best deal possible and potentially save hundreds of dollars on your energy bill over the winter season.

So, take a minute to visit PA Gas Switch and make sure you are ready for winter.
