People have gone door to door asking to see BGE bills. They claim
that they can offer electricity and/or gas for less than BGE, and they
ask to see a BGE bill so that they can tell you how much they can save
you. But according to a recent report on Channel 11, what at least
some of them are doing is getting an account number from a BGE bill in
order to put through a change of supplier even if you tell then that
you do not want to switch. Moreover, BGE may charge you to switch back.
In the last two days, two people have come to my door asking to see my
BGE bill. My wife and I have told them that we are not interested and
have not gotten out our bill. I recommend that others do the same.
Some people may save money by switching suppliers, but if you are
interested in doing so (and I have not bothered), you should be able
to find the information online. Also, alternate suppliers send out
enough ads in the mail. What I notice in the ads that come in the
mail is that to lock in a lower rate, I would have to agree to a one
or two year contract. That includes the offers from Constellation
Energy (BGE's parent company) that claim to lock in a lower rate. I
have no idea whether switching actually will save money over the
length of the contract.
BTW, I have a security door that I do not open when I speak to someone
going door to door. That door is locked, and I cannot open it unless
I get the key out. A key is kept near the door but out of sight for
fire safety in case anyone ever has to get out of the house, and
another key is in my pocket, but I will not open the door for anyone I
do not know. I got the door a number of years ago, and it has been a
very worthwhile investment.
If you do not have a security door, be extremely wary of opening your
door for anyone you do not know.
