How Do You Decide?

Shopping for a natural gas supplier may be a new experience for you, but it’s just like any other important purchase -- when you’re well-informed, you can make the decision that’s best for you. Before making any decisions, ask each supplier the following questions. Print this page and use it when talking with suppliers.

Plus, for your convenience, the Michigan Public Service Commission offers a publication "What Customers Should Know About Switching to an Alternative Gas Supplier."

Help Comparing Prices

Our price of gas could vary month-to-month, and is regulated by the Michigan Public Service Commission. Your energy bill will tell you how much natural gas you used during the past 12 months, so that you can compare prices for an entire year.
