Send Judy a photo of your electric or gas bill. She checks it against every price the State of Illinois's price list (Plug In Illinois) shows for your area. Then she tells you, in dollars, if you should change or stay.
Changing your price never turns off your power or your gas. Your utility still delivers it and sends your bill.
