Shop and Compare

Before you decide on which supplier works best for you, do what any good shopper does...ask questions. Call the supplier numbers provided and ask for information. And make sure you know what’s included in their service contracts. To help you, we have compiled this checklist to make your choice an informed one.

  • Is the supplier a qualified Natural Gas Supplier in Columbia Gas' CHOICE® program?
  • What is the supplier’s price per Ccf? Is the supplier’s cost a fixed charge per Ccf or is it variable?
  • Will the supplier bill you directly or will they have Columbia Gas do it?
  • If the supplier does its own billing, do they also offer a budget payment plan?
  • What is the length of your agreement with the supplier?
  • Is there a penalty if you wish to switch suppliers?
  • Does the supplier have a toll-free number for service and billing questions?
  • Does the supplier offer additional services or incentives for enrollment?

 Remember to get all the information before entering a contract. If you have additional questions about CHOICE®, call our Columbia Energy Marketplace hotline toll-free at 1-888-275-4674.
