View Natural Gas Rates

AEP Energy has competitive natural gas prices with no early termination fee. It was very easy to lock in a long term fixed rate, however they also had smaller term fixed rates that were better than most other companies I researched. For this reason, I would recommend them to any Columbia Gas customer.

Jewellee R. Massillon, OH

I have been with AEP off and on for several years now. I shop electricity and gas rates with no additional monthly fees and early termination fees all year long. AEP never has any of these additional fees and continues to have one of the lowest rates for a longer term contract… I will continue to use AEP as long as their rates are one of the lowest.

Frank B. Campbell, OH

I had switched to AEP a couple years ago and was very surprised at the fact that there is no early termination fee. With AEP, I can check the rates when I want and if the rate is better for my budget at that time, I can re-enroll and start a new contract. If it isn’t I can continue with my current contract. I also was surprised that I earned some rewards with AEP in their “reward store,” which I ended up cashing in for a Google Home Mini with a LED lightbulb.

Tony C. Cleveland, OH

I review the PUCO lists of gas suppliers against a print out of last years list eliminated those whose prices increased significantly from last year. Then eliminated any with termination fees. Looked then for those with 24 month contracts. And then looked at price. AEP ALL THE WAY!

Fred K. Oregon, OH

I chose AEP Energy as my natural gas supplier because they offer the best price per CCF with no early termination fees for the term I needed in comparison to other suppliers. The enrollment/application page was easy to read and understand. It was also very easy to apply. I look forward to my services with them.

Becki F. Jackson Center, OH

I realized I had to research Electric and Gas suppliers in order to get the best price so my budget didn’t get destroyed by fluctuating prices. I went online to Apples to Apples and found AEP Energy. They offered me a very competitive price for the time period I needed and no added fees. It was easy to sign up.

Trina D. Clyde, OH

I chose AEP Energy from a combination of their reputation, rates, and term length. I was surprised to have a live person answer the phone immediately. The enrollment process could not have been easier. The associate I spoke with was very friendly and wanted to make sure all my questions were answered. It felt like she was personally responsible for my satisfaction. I was very pleased about the entire process.

Mark P. Cleveland Heights, OH

I have just come back to AEP Energy for both my gas and electric services, simply because of their excellent service in the past! AEP Energy offered a great usage rate, guarantee for a 3 year period. Enrollment was a very easy process. Thanks to the smooth and efficient sign up process by a very professional AEP Energy sales representative who took care of everything for me!

How to Shop for Natural Gas

Choosing the best natural gas supplier

If you want to make the right purchase decision when shopping for a natural gas supplier, here are the top 3 tips to consider.

Know what you want: Figure out what’s most important to you. Are you looking for predictable rates, superior customer service or something else? Once you know what you need, make a list and compare it to the suppliers in your area.
Know what you use: Take a look at your average gas usage. If you’ve just moved, consider asking for gas bills from the previous resident. Then, when you start looking at potential suppliers, you can estimate your potential monthly payments.
Know what plan is best for you: Most companies have more than one natural gas plan. When you’re figuring out what’s best for you, there are 4 key elements to consider: the cost, whether it’s fixed rate or variable pricing, if there are extra fees and the possible discounts and rewards.

Things to avoid when shopping

When it comes to natural gas suppliers, there are a few choices out there. But there are also a few issues to consider. Here’s a list of things you’ll want to avoid.

Teaser offers

Be careful of introductory offers with low prices that last a month or two and then get raised significantly for the rest of the contract.

Termination fees

Watch out for companies that charge you outrageous fees to end your contract early.

Variable rates

Read the fine print before you sign up to make sure your rate is locked in for the length of your contract.

Contract length

Choose a term that works for you, while being aware that some low-cost, short-term contracts can end right before higher rates begin.
