LOOKING FOR LOWER ENERGY RATES?

Do you feel like you are paying too much in gas and electric bills? Now is the time to take action and secure a choice energy program for your company. Not all companies can get into a choice program, but it is well worth the effort to find out.

Below are various companies that offer choice programs and the states they serve. If you know of a company not on this list, please contact our office so we may add them. Rates do change based on supply.

Here are some questions you should ask when shopping for a choice program:

Is the price fixed or does it change? If it changes, how does it change?
Will there be a switching fee?
Is there a fee if I cancel the contract early?
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?

HELPING THE ENVIRONMENT
Did you know...The contaminated wastewater produced from washing vehicles in driveways or parking lots goes into storm and sewer drains, and directly into our lakes, rivers and streams.

Wastewater can include oil, grease, wax, soap, and engine and brake residue.

Washing cars at a professional wash contains the dirt and residue while using less water and permitting the water to be cleaned and reused. Do your part and get your vehicle washed at your local MCA carwash.
