Choosing a gas plan

• Rates
  How much the retailer charge their customers on particular plans. This covers fixed service charges and usage charges for how much gas you use.
• Discounts
  Retailers often offer discounts to consumers that pay their bill in full and pay on time.
• Fixed term vs. no fixed term contracts
  Retailers offer consumers the opportunity to choose to enter into a contract (usually 2 or 3 years) at more competitive prices. Consumers can often take this contract with them if they move home again. Consumers who do not want to enter into a fixed term agreement can take a 'no fixed term' product. These products allow for more flexibility but usually the rates are not as competitive as fixed term products.
