Natural gas: Heating, autoclaving, sterilization in some specialties

2. Competitive bid: We submit your load profile to 30+ suppliers simultaneously. They compete on the same data. You get multiple offers with our plain-English translation.
3. Contract review: We read every contract before recommending it — checking demand charge treatment, auto-renewal terms, ETF structure, and any pass-through mechanisms.
4. Execution and monitoring: We handle contract paperwork and flag your renewal window 6–9 months before expiration.

Reliability and uptime concerns should be addressed upfront — switching does not affect delivery

Contract Strategy for Medical Offices Energy Buyers

For Medical Offices accounts, we typically evaluate fixed-rate contracts (12–36 months) for budget certainty. For larger or more sophisticated accounts, indexed structures that track wholesale markets may offer better economics if managed actively.

Multi-site Medical Offices portfolios can aggregate load across locations for more supplier competition and often better rates per site than single-location procurement.
