If someone calls or knocks and says any of these, you can hang up or close the door.
Judy Saves will never call you or knock on your door.
No. Your heat stays on.
Consumers Energy, DTE Gas, Michigan Gas Utilities or SEMCO still delivers your gas, reads your meter and sends your bill.
Only the gas price part of your bill changes. If you smell gas, call your gas company, not the new company.
Not always. Savings are not promised.
Prices that change each month can go up a lot in a cold winter.
That is why we check the math for you.
Not right now. Michigan limits how much power other companies can sell, and that limit is full.
So in Michigan, Judy checks gas bills.
You call the company that will sell you gas, or sign up on its website. You don't need to call your gas company.
That company tells your gas company for you.
Within 7 days, the new company must mail you a letter with your plan details. If something is wrong, call them and ask them to stop the switch.
Have your bill ready. The company will ask for a number from it.
Your gas bill must be paid up. If you owe your gas company money, you can't switch until it is paid.
Only the person whose name is on the account can sign up.
The new company can't charge you to switch.
Your gas company can charge $10 if you change companies more than once in 12 months.
Yes. You have 30 days from the day you sign up to cancel for free.
Call the new company or write to them. Write down who you talked to.
Yes. Tell the company you switched to that you want to cancel. You go back to your gas company's price.
After you go back, you have to stay on your gas company's price for 12 months.
Your bill calls that price the Gas Cost Recovery (GCR). The state approves it, and it can change every month.
If you do nothing, the plan keeps going at a price that can change each month.
You can leave that month-to-month price at any time with no fee.
Come back to Judy Saves before your plan ends. We will check your choices again.
Some plans charge a fee if you leave before the plan ends.
For a plan of one year or less, the fee can't be more than $50.
For a longer plan, the fee can't be more than $100.
There is no fee if you cancel in the first 30 days.
Some plans start low for a month or two, then change each month.
Ask what the price will be after the start.
When we compare plans, we look past the starting price.
No. Judy Saves never calls you or knocks on your door.
