Saving money is a priority in a recessed economy. You know from my blogs that natural gas costs can be reduced using electric radiant infrared heat. Most people don’t consider reducing their utility costs by any means other than shutting off lights, lowering the thermostat, and consuming less energy.
There is a better way. America is experiencing deregulation within the utility industries. You can leverage the utility deregulation sweeping the country and switch your utility provider to a less expensive choice supplier. You can choose your utility supplier for both your home and business. That’s right, you DO NOT have to use the primary supplier in your area.
You DO NOT have to go onto a fixed rate plan. Such plans are usually structured so that your fixed rate is a rate near the peaks of the monthly price for the utility as set by the supplier. During the majority of the year the cost to the supplier is beneath that peak, but you are paying a monthly fixed rate at or near the peaks. A variable rate is just as bad because you have no control over the parameters that cause the rate to vary.
So what is the best practice? The best practice is to EXERCISE choice. You choose a choice supplier that uses market based rate.
So, what is a market based rate? It is a rate pegged to the monthly settlement price of a utility such as natural gas. Your rate will be that monthly settlement price as calculated by the demand within the market plus an adder. The adder is the part of your rate above the monthly settlement rate that is the margin for the choice supplier to cover costs, overhead, and profit. Basically, the market based rate = the monthly settlement price + the adder. As of January 2011 the current monthly settlement price on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) for natural gas contracts is $4.21, plus the adder of $2.28 yields a monthly rate for January 2011 of $6.49. Check your rate per MCF and see if it is higher. If so, you can lower it yourself by going to www.myutilitybrokers.com/owens and click on Natural Gas under “Residential” on the left hand column. Select your state, then your supplier and complete the data fields to enjoy lower rates. If you need assistance email me and I will gladly help. Don’t pay money you don’t have to, pay less for the same service or commodity. Make the choice and choose.
I am pleased to say my customers trust me. I have earned that trust by selling great heating products, delivering quickly, charging a fair price, and shipping a product as described. It is the same with the utilities. I speak from experience. My home is heated with both natural gas and electric radiant infrared heaters. I use the products I sell and I use natural gas from a choice supplier I broker for. I also use VoIP from Phone Power from the utility company I broker for. My home has heat with uninterrupted service, my phone works, and better than before for less money, and my radiant heaters have worked for 10 years without fail. I wouldn’t tell you something or encourage you to use something that I wouldn’t use under my roof. Thanks for your trust!
Please view all the other money saving products on the site and verify your savings using the calculator in the lower left hand column. Click on the gray words “cell phone”, “cable” , “Internet”, and “Home Phone” and enter your actual monthly cost, then click on calculate to learn what your savings can be. For instance, I saved $520 on my yearly phone cost by switching my AT&T home phone to Phone Power through the web site above. I was paying AT7T over $55 a month and I am paying $8.33 per month with Phone Power right now. Phone Power is VoIP, Voice over Internet Protocol. You’ll love it.
