Contract Pricing Structures
We help you choose the right pricing structure based on your risk tolerance, budget requirements, and market outlook.
Fixed Rate
Best for: Budget certainty and risk-averse businesses
Lock in a set price per therm for the contract term (typically 12-36 months). Your rate stays the same regardless of market fluctuations.
Advantages:
- Predictable monthly costs
- Protection from price spikes
- Simplified budgeting
Considerations:
- May miss savings if market drops
- Early termination fees may apply
Variable Rate
Best for: Flexibility and potential savings in declining markets
Your rate fluctuates monthly based on market indices. Offers potential savings when prices drop but exposes you to increases.
Advantages:
- Benefit from market decreases
- No long-term commitment
- Easy to switch suppliers
Considerations:
- Unpredictable monthly costs
- Exposure to price volatility
Hybrid/Blended
Best for: Balanced approach to risk and opportunity
Combines fixed and variable components, or uses indexed pricing with caps/floors to balance predictability with market participation.
Advantages:
- Partial price protection
- Some market upside potential
- Customizable risk profile
Considerations:
- More complex to understand
- May include premium for caps

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our brokerage services
How much do your services cost?
Our services are free to you. We're compensated by suppliers when we bring them qualified customers. This means you get expert procurement assistance at no cost, and suppliers pay for the privilege of earning your business.
Will switching suppliers disrupt my gas service?
No. Your local utility continues to deliver natural gas to your facility regardless of which supplier you choose. Switching suppliers only changes who provides the commodity—delivery, safety, and emergency services remain with your utility.
How long does the process take?
From initial analysis to contract execution typically takes 2-4 weeks. The actual supplier switch usually occurs at the start of your next billing cycle, which may be 30-60 days after enrollment depending on your utility's schedule.
What if I'm currently under contract with a supplier?
We can still help. We'll review your current contract terms, calculate any early termination costs, and determine if switching now makes financial sense. Often, we can time a new contract to begin when your current agreement expires.
Do you work with small businesses?
Yes. While our services are particularly valuable for mid-size and large commercial users, we work with businesses of all sizes. Generally, if your annual gas spend exceeds $10,000, we can likely find meaningful savings.
How do you select which suppliers to recommend?
We evaluate suppliers based on pricing, contract terms, financial stability, customer service reputation, and track record in your specific market. We only recommend suppliers we'd trust with our own business.
