Enmax EasyMax - Fixed Vs. Variable

[Disoblige]

None of you are reading.
You can revert back to floating with 30 days notice w/ENMAX. It doesn't matter if you "locked in" with 1, 3, or 5 year fixed.

Anyways, have a good weekend y'all! My furnace kicked in for the first time today since the spring

I assume people are talking about Atco or Direct or something when they say "locked in."

I'm planning to move to Atco and both their live chat and website FAQ state that there are zero cancellation fees for breaking a contract early, just need to provide 15 days prior notice.

Beyond has a habit of getting very weird about savings at the extreme margins.

It's not extreme if you have a grow op.

lol I thought about it when it came on, but to be honest I don't really see an issue? It smelt briefly like burnt dust because of the settlement but no dust clouds or anything like that at all.

[killramos]

Can’t say I noticed anything about burnt dust at all

Must be my super modern system

Can someone with more wrinkles in their brain explain this? Is it more fear mongering? I don't understand the trend enough to make an accurate judgement

I thought all the noise is about Europe.

I guess I just really really hate that smell, LoL!
It's never like a literal cloud, of course. I turned my fireplace on a couple weeks ago and it stunk, too. I don't have a procedure developed for that, yet...

Thanks.
Any chance you would be willing to add in the regulated rates as another series?
Values are about halfway down the page here, I believe the Direct Energy/Atco ones are applicable to southern Alberta.

Looks like Apex loves to spike it's customers.



Can anyone supply previous lock in rates for EnMax? Would be interesting to see if you're winning.

I tried your way. Seems to work. I'll let you know when the French maid comes to dust.

Disco Stu says prices can only go up.

Some moron tried to get me to sign on their MLM with "Ambit Energy" today. At least we can all agree that's a load of BS lol.

You don't have to be hurtful and call me a moron.

How is that worse than staying floating over the winter when you know the floating prices right now in August/September are the same as fixed or higher? Seems like a better risk reward to go fixed than wing it over the winter. There is low chance it will go lower, so...

I stayed floating last year because gas prices were low and no where near the fixed costs. But this time around it is different. I rather save some money and spend it on +15 lunches.

Said the futures trader that lost everything on low winter gas prices..................


I haven't examined this enough as it isn't very important for me to potentially save or lose 20$ in a month. But the way the utility companies hound you about locking in, tells me it's to their benefit. There is no way in hell they are actively pursuing their customers to trick them into saving money.

I think it’s more to protect themselves from the inevitable backlash when people get massive bills and then complain to the government or get on the news saying how bad the utility companies are raping them.

You sure on your end it wasn't burnt duck?

If it pushes over $10, the USA citizens themselves will probably be bringing out the clubs for those who shut down KeystoneXL.

OR, you could look at this as lawsuit mitigation. If you know that 2% or less of the population bothers to call in to get a fixed rate, then when the rates get to $20 per GJ, Enmax/Atco can say that "we had this fixed rate all this time" and you have no excuse for not paying your bill.

Its 2021, by now people should know making money is all about lawsuit mitigation.

UK is already having a tough time with a host of small issues combining to make energy prices soar.
