I plan this summer switching everything to electric. I don't want to take a chance again next winter on high gas prices.

If you are serious about that, I strongly suggest you check the actual relative cost before doing that. Almost everywhere, except where you may have cheap electricity due to abundant hydroelectric it is going to cost you far more using electric even with the increases.

Where I am I had considered it. I had done it some years before and it turned out good. This time I decided not to switch. Good move. While one month was higher that I would have been paying, the last two months have been billed at a lower rate than the other supplier's fixed rate because my supplier lowered their rates when the price of gas and the amount of gas used went down. I came out ahead.

I switched when my contract expired. I had been paying $8 plus change, but that company said the new rate would be $14 plus, so I found one that charges $12 plus. Its still a big increase, but switching to electric would be even more expensive, given the high electric rates here, and the costs of a new furnace, water heater, stove, and dryer.

I've read that they are build> I'd be interested just how many people have switched gas supplier this > winter ?
