What to Ask Suppliers

Be sure to ask the following questions before you enter into the contract:
  • Are you a PUCO-certified supplier?
  • What is the price per kilowatt hour (kWh)?
  • Is the price fixed or does it change?
  • If it changes, how does it change?
  • Does the price depend on how much I use or when I use electricity?
  • Will there be a switching fee?
  • Is there a fee if I cancel the contract early?
  • Is there a customer incentive for signing up?
  • Are there any special add-on services?
  • How long will the rate remain in effect?
  • What happens when my contract expires?
  • Will I receive one or two bills a month?
  • Who provides the billing?
  • Is there a budget plan?
  • Are current budget plan customers eligible?
  • Are there any built-in price increases or decreases.
