We start with a signed Letter of Authorization to pull your historical usage, audit your current gas bill, and request bids from 30+ licensed suppliers. You receive fixed-rate offers at 12, 24, 36, 48, or 60 months, normalized for all delivery and transportation pass-throughs. The supplier handles the switch with your utility, and the new rate appears on your next bill.
