Karen Backus/Avion Energy Group
Avion Energy Group gets energy providers licensed in your state to compete with each other to get you the best pricing. Avion provides an apples-to-apples comparison of best pricing by providing you a list of those suppliers on one sheet of paper where you can see how they compete for your business. They will arrange to have the contract documents prepared for your signature the same day and will notify you when your signed agreement has been accepted by the provider. About 90 days before your contract is about to end, they will contact you to start the process again. You can change suppliers each time your contract is up for renewal, yet remain a client of Avion Energy for years to come, and the best part is their service is totally free because they are paid by the providers.
