How To Get Out From Energy Deals

The rule of thumb for door-to-door fixed gas and electricity prices is: do not let them in your house, do not show them your gas and electricity bills, and DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING.

If you move to a new home or condo where you need to pay gas and electricity bills. You will notice these door-to-door gas and electricity providers will come knocking under different companies, but now we know most of them are the same company trying to confuse you. They know when you move and where, they can purchase that information from any major real estate agency who are more than happy to sell that information and when there are enough new home owners in the area, they will come knocking. So be prepared… Again, if you don’t understand the gas and electricity prices then don’t sign anything at your door and stay with your current gas and electricity provider, which is government regulated.

Only let them in if you know the company or they work for your current gas and electricity provider or you called the company for repair/maintenance and you were notified earlier for the reason of their visit. Remember to ask the agent that came to your house for their name, affiliation number or any documentation.

The best way to protect yourself is to educate yourself about your gas and electricity bills. Understand about the pricing and how this all work before signing any gas and electricity contract. There is no need to sign or listen to some strangers knocking on your door.
