A useful comparison multiplies the same annual therms by each supply price, then adds recurring and one-time supplier costs. It should show a negative saving when the proposed offer costs more. Delivery, tax and usage changes must remain explicit.
What to check before acting
A single month can misrepresent a seasonal business. Use twelve months of therms where possible and reconcile whether both rates include basis and transport. The calculator on this site uses your figures locally; it does not fetch quotes or estimate utility eligibility.
A practical way to use this information
Illustrative arithmetic: 12,000 annual therms at $0.80 costs $9,600 for commodity. At $0.72 plus $30 per month, the comparison is $9,000. The $600 difference excludes unchanged utility delivery and taxes and is not a customer result.
Annual supply cost comparison
Illustrative defaults are editable. Enter matching price components and actual annual usage. Utility delivery and taxes are excluded.
Private by design: values remain in this page. They are not saved, sent with an inquiry or used for analytics.
Build a record you can check later
Keep the source document, date, billing period and relevant operating information together. Mark whether each number is measured, quoted or assumed. If conditions change, revise the comparison instead of comparing unlike periods. A reproducible calculation is more useful than a precise-looking claim without a baseline.
Keep supply and delivery in separate columns
| Responsibility | What to check |
|---|---|
| Commodity supply | Who sells the gas, the price formula, included transport, fees and contract obligations. |
| Utility delivery | The company maintaining local delivery and the meter; confirm tariff and emergency contacts. |
| Your facility | Account authority, equipment, operating changes, safe maintenance and payment obligations. |
A lower supply rate is one part of the decision. It does not remove utility delivery charges, guarantee a lower total bill or eliminate physical interruptions. Ask what can change even when the commodity component is fixed.

Questions worth asking
Does this apply to every Florida gas account?
No. Check the actual utility, connection, tariff and current agreement. Use the utility-specific sources to establish the applicable program; geography alone does not establish eligibility.
What should I do if an important input is unknown?
Leave it flagged as unresolved. Ask the utility, supplier or appropriate qualified professional rather than treating a missing charge, date or technical requirement as zero.
Can I ask a question without sharing a bill?
Yes. Start with your utility, business type and question. Do not send account numbers or attachments through the initial request form.
