How is Flex Plan different from the utility or other traditional billing plans?
A9: It’s very similar. One exception is that Flex Plan is based on a daily index while the utility’s price is based on a monthly calculation and other factors. A benefit of Flex Plan is that you may switch to another price protection plan, if eligible, to give you more control over your gas bill or to take advantage of favorable market conditions. With Flex Plan, you’re able to conveniently pay your monthly bill through a credit card or electronic funds transfer with no additional fees. As a Nicor Advanced Energy customer, you’re also eligible for valuable discounts on repair and maintenance plans offered through Nicor Services for your furnace, air conditioner and other appliances within your home.
