Reply to comment by lostmindplzhelp in Switching Utility providers by BadAtRocks

I promise I know how to use the internet for more than porn haha.

My problem was that a bunch of providers came up but I have no idea which one people use around here. Like I said I just moved here so I don't have anyone I can ask. I tried talking to my neighbors but they dont talk. So here I am.

Okay. It's kind of a regional thing. Your best bet is to go to www.energyswitchma.gov and see what's cheapest in your zip code. I think all the companies make you sign up for a contract, could be anywhere from 1-3 years. The difference is some charge a cancellation fee and some auto-renew when your time is up. Be careful because there are companies that offer a low introductory rate to get you into a contract but in the fine print you'll see that the price goes way up after a few months, these offers usually come in the mail. If your area has a "municipal aggregation program" that will be your best bet. It's a local collective that negotiates with the companies for better rates. If there's one in your area it'll come up on that website.

THANK YOU!

This definitely helps I'd never heard about "municipal aggregation program" till now but that's where I'm going to start.

Also Thanks for the heads up on the contracts I will peruse each offer very diligently.

I greatly appreciate your time and help.

Have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
