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!
Mary B. Fostoria, OH
Overall the best company for natural gas service.
Hazel G. Cleveland, OH
I chose AEP energy because of their competitive rates and they also seem to want to keep you as a customer after your contract is up. They are also more personable than any other supplier that I had in the past.
-David P. Brook Park, OH
Great price and always reliable.
Clarence P. Cleveland, 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 have found AEP’s natural gas and electric rates to be among the lowest. Low rates along with AEP’s long standing leadership in energy makes it easy for me to be a costumer of an established energy leader with a reliable reputation.
Daniel C. Brooklyn, 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 encourage Cleveland residents to enroll for AEP Energy’s natural gas services. Their hassle-free enrollment process is simple, and they’re upfront with pricing.
Robert J. Medina, 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 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 chose AEP Energy as my natural gas supplier because their price per CCF was one of the lowest available. Their Rewards Store, easy enrollment, and no termination fees were nice perks, too!
Dan S. Ashland, 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
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 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
When my contract was up with another natural gas provider and they wouldn’t budge about their rates, I knew it was time to switch to AEP Energy. The customer service rep was pleasant, helpful, and educated on their natural gas services. Win-win for all!
Norm S. Piqua, OH
It made sense for us to choose AEP Energy as our natural gas supplier. Their low CCF rate and fixed rate options won me over.
Christy B. Englewood, OH
I’m a brand new customer of AEP Energy in Columbus, I value their Ohio-based natural gas services and great prices. Supporting a local company that values customers and takes pride in what they do is great.
Laura C. West Jefferson, OH
I chose AEP Energy as my residential gas supplier after comparing their rates to other local utility companies. The choice was clear! The online sign up experience was very simple and their customer service and support. Support is second to none.

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.
