Does switching suppliers interrupt my gas service?

No. Your local utility (such as Columbia Gas of Ohio, Enbridge Gas Ohio, Duke Energy Ohio, or CenterPoint Energy Ohio) continues to deliver the gas through the same pipes. Switching changes who bills you for the commodity, not your physical service.

Is there a fee to use this service?

No. There's no cost to request or compare quotes. Suppliers compensate the broker, not the business requesting quotes.

How long does it take to get quotes?

Turnaround depends on supplier response times. We'll confirm an expected timeline once we have your usage details.

Q: Is natural gas deregulated for businesses in Ohio?

Yes. Ohio's Energy Choice program has let businesses select their own PUCO-certified natural gas supplier since 1997, separate from the regulated utility that delivers the gas through its pipeline.

Ohio's Energy Choice program — one of the most established natural gas choice markets in the country — lets businesses select their own retail natural gas supplier instead of defaulting to their utility's standard choice offer. We run a competitive bid process across multiple PUCO-certified suppliers so you can compare fixed-rate options side by side. No fee, no obligation.

Why Compare Suppliers

Default Choice Offer Rates Aren't Your Only Option

Winter Price Volatility

Ohio winters drive heavy heating demand, and commodity gas costs can spike sharply during cold snaps. The utility's Standard Choice Offer changes monthly with the wholesale market — a fixed-rate contract from a certified supplier locks in a flat per-unit cost instead.

Default-Rate Inertia

Many businesses never actively chose a supplier — they're simply still on their utility's Standard Choice Offer. In Ohio's mature, decades-old Energy Choice market, that rate is rarely the most competitive option available.

Shopping Suppliers Individually Takes Time

Contacting each PUCO-certified retail supplier separately and comparing terms one at a time is slow. A reverse-auction process puts multiple suppliers in competition for your business at once.

Contract Terms Aren't One-Size-Fits-All

PUCO-certified suppliers offer different contract lengths and rate structures — some businesses want a 12-month term, others prefer locking in 24 or 36 months for longer budget certainty. Comparing offers side by side makes it easier to match the right term to your business instead of accepting whatever the first quote offers.

Comparing certified suppliers costs nothing and takes only a few minutes to get started.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I'm currently on the SCO or a competitive supplier in Ohio?

Check your utility bill's "Current Charges" section — it lists your supplier name and whether you're on the Standard Choice Offer or a chosen competitive rate plan.

Does Ohio require natural gas brokers to be certified, not just suppliers?

Yes. Ohio is one of the few states where PUCO certifies brokers and aggregators separately from marketers. We work within PUCO's certified framework when matching you with suppliers.

What's the Standard Choice Offer (SCO) and why does it change monthly?

The SCO is your utility's default rate if you haven't chosen a supplier. It resets monthly based on wholesale gas prices, which is why it can spike sharply during cold snaps — a fixed-rate contract avoids that swing.

Will Columbia Gas, Enbridge Gas Ohio, or Duke Energy Ohio still deliver my gas?

Yes. Whichever utility delivers your gas today — Columbia Gas of Ohio, Enbridge Gas Ohio, Duke Energy Ohio, or CenterPoint Energy Ohio — continues to do so. Switching suppliers only changes who bills you for the commodity.

Is natural gas deregulated for businesses in Ohio?

Yes — Ohio's Energy Choice program has let businesses select their own PUCO-certified natural gas supplier since 1997, one of the longest-running choice markets in the country.

One Submission, Multiple Competing Offers

Going direct to a single supplier means accepting whatever rate they offer. Working through Broker Online Exchange puts your usage in front of multiple PUCO-certified suppliers at once, so they compete for your business instead of the other way around. You review every offer and choose — there's no obligation to switch if nothing beats your current rate.
