Looking for a utilities company for Gas/Water/Electric

I have Enmax for electricity currently but moving to a single family home and will need everything.

Should I be looking at other companies for various reasons? Any recommendations. I heard Atco has a new utilities branch.

Direct energy: 5.69 cents elec and flex through? gas, free nest thermostat, and free $149 furnace maintenance. However it looks like their /GJ cost for gas is double enmax et al.

Enmax: 6.59 3 year , 99 cent / GJ fee on floating gas

Atco : 5.59 elec and , 99 cent /GJ , $50 signup credit, $50 anniversary credit.

ATCO is short of a new start up (or getting back into the biz depends on how you see it).

So there is no history on how good/bad ATCO is.

I would stay away from Direct Energy.

Stay with Enmax until ATCO matures and prove that they have no funny business or comsumer complaints.

I've been with ATCO for a few months now. Was with direct before. My usage may have went down slightly but my bill is dramatically less. There customer service has been top notch as well.
