(Harrisburg, PA) According to a release from the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, the company reminded consumers about changes in electric generation prices called the Price to Compare. These began on Sunday, June 1st, and there is a 5 to 16% range of increases around utilities that are major for Price to Compare. According to that same release from the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, here are some steps to avoid energy marketing that is misleading.

  1. #CheckForID – Sales agents must wear a visible photo ID badge with the supplier name and a customer service number.
  2. Know Who You’re Talking To – Agents must clearly identify themselves and their supplier at the start of every interaction.
  3. No False Claims – Agents are prohibited from claiming to represent your local utility, the PUC, or a government agency.
  4. Avoid Pressure Tactics – You have the right to say no, end the conversation, and request no further visits.
  5. Use Trusted Tools – Visit PAPowerSwitch.com for verified supplier offers, shopping guidance, and energy-saving tips.
