There are plenty of choices when it comes to heating or cooling your home. Whether your residential energy method is natural gas, oil, propane, or electricity, Shipley Energy can help you find the best option for your home. We’ve partnered with all of the leading Pennsylvania and Maryland energy suppliers of natural gas and electricity, and we’re also one of the top providers of propane and oil. We’ll help you explore the various energy pricing programs available so you can choose the one that makes the most sense based on your usage and budget requirements. Options include:

  • Electricity: With energy deregulation in Pennsylvania and other states, you now have the freedom to choose your electricity supplier. Whether you currently receive service from Met-Ed, Duquesne Light, PPL, PECO, or another provider, you may be able to reduce your rates by switching to our services. Our Price-Lock program will enable you to lock in your rate for a fixed period, which can be easier on your budget. And with Shipley Energy Rewards, you can even get cash back on your energy supply costs.
  • Propane: You may already use propane in tanks for your barbecue grill, but this clean, efficient fuel source can also provide an excellent home heating solution. Propane is environmentally friendly and safe — you can use it in your home without worries. We offer a variety of propane pricing programs that can work for your household budget. Automatic delivery is also available to ensure you won’t run out of fuel in the middle of a frigid winter.
  • Natural gas: Do you heat your home with natural gas? You can always count on Shipley Energy for competitive gas prices and exceptional service. You can choose our fixed plan to ensure pricing stability regardless of changes in the market rates. Our variable pricing program can help you save money when natural gas prices drop. We can help you choose the right option for your household based on factors such as usage, seasonal fluctuations, and budgeting considerations.
  • Heating oil: We’ll make it easy and convenient to purchase heating oil for your home. Call our friendly, efficient customer care team from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday for immediate, personalized assistance. You can also place a one-time order at your convenience via our user-friendly self-guided online system.

Fixed vs. Variable Rate Plans — Pros and Cons

Energy deregulation has created more options than ever before for homeowners in PA, OH, and MD. Though energy offers come in different plans with slightly different pricing, length, and other specifics, generally speaking, all fall into one of two categories: fixed rate or variable. With a fixed rate plan, you lock into a price for a set period, whereas variable pricing is subject to change on a month-to-month basis.

Every home and every homeowner is different — what appeals to one customer about one type of plan may be a negative for another. That said, there are reasons to consider both fixed and variable rate structures:

  • Fixed plans save you uncertainty and make budgeting easier. With a fixed rate plan, you pay the same per unit rate every month. While you still pay for the electricity you use, the amount your utility company charges you per unit of energy stays the same for the duration of the contract. This means you don’t pay a penalty when you run additional appliances during periods of high demand – like your air conditioning in the summer. It also means that budgeting for your energy needs each month is simpler, as there is less possibility of an unpleasant surprise when market prices spike and your bill rises accordingly.
  • Variable plans can have higher potential savings. With a variable rate plan, you enjoy more freedom over your utility bill. Variable plans are great for anyone who tracks energy prices and is conscientious about restricting appliance use when rates are at their highest. With a variable plan, you can potentially have low bills when rates drop lower than expected.

With each of these positives comes a downside, however. Fixed rate plans call you to lock into a rate for a certain period of time. Conversely, variable rate plans leave you at the mercy of the unpredictable energy market — when prices spike, your bill will rise with them.

Either type of plan is a good choice, but you should do your research and work with a partner you trust. There are many resources available online for comparing energy supply rates — Shipley Energy can help you check pricing by using your ZIP code and comparing plans based on a variety of criteria.

Energy Deregulation in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Maryland

To understand energy supplier rates in PA, OH, and MD, you need to understand how a deregulated market works. In a deregulated market, three companies are involved in bringing electricity or natural gas to your property:

  • The generation company that produces your electricity or refines your natural gas
  • The energy supplier that buys it
  • The utility company that distributes it to your home

Before deregulation, utility companies also played the role of the supplier, which led to an energy market monopoly. Deregulation has created more choice for consumers, giving them the option of working with a dedicated supplier who can buy in bulk and pass the price opportunities on through different rate structures and incentives.

When you choose an energy supplier in PA, OH, or MD, you aren’t taking business away from your utility company — you’re specifying how and from whom they buy your electricity or natural gas. If you don’t choose an energy supplier, you’ll continue to pay the going market rate for the electricity you use.

Regardless of whether or not you specify a supplier, your utility company will continue to handle your billing and any service or emergency needs you have. Selecting a supplier, like Shipley Energy, won’t involve any interruption to your service, and it doesn’t require purchasing any special equipment. The process is automatic and instant, and there is no need to book an appointment with a technician.

Pennsylvania and Ohio began deregulating their energy markets in 1999, and Maryland followed suit shortly thereafter.

Understanding the Competitive Energy Market

At Shipley Energy, we believe in educating our customers first and helping them make informed decisions about how they heat and power their homes. It’s this attitude that has made us a leading and innovative energy supplier since 1929. We’ve grown considerably over the years and expanded our service offerings as opportunities arose, but one thing that hasn’t changed is our commitment to the customers and communities we serve.

Our extensive expertise and highly trained team allow us to provide value-added services other PA, OH, and MD energy suppliers can’t. We’re also a partner that can provide HVAC service, prime and restart service, emergency assistance, and loyalty rewards, among other exclusive benefits.

In our state’s competitive energy market, Shipley Energy has a history of delivering value and an extensive service area. Deregulation created many opportunities for PA’s energy suppliers, but it also led to the overnight creation of a volatile, misunderstood market. By choosing a company that has earned the trust of its customers and delivered on its promises for more than 90 years, you can benefit from everything deregulation offers, while keeping risk to a minimum.

Lost our heat late Saturday afternoon-Derek called to say he’d be here by 6. He actually arrived and finished before that. He was very pleasant about having to travel to Lebanon on a Saturday evening. He explained what the problem was and how he solved it. He made sure the furnace was functioning properly and that we had hot water before he left. Great job done in a pleasant manner!! Thank you!

I've been an oil customer of Shipley for years. This morning, I woke up to no hot water. Ran to work, took care of a few things and came home. Used the chat feature to request a service tech to come out. Super easy, and super quick to make a request for service. Tech called me a few minutes later saying he was on the way. He arrived, fixed the problem - explained what had happened and was gone all within an hour of me making the online request. Amazing.   Shipley - Wes was my technician today; and he is a very valuable member of your team. He represented your company very well. I could not be happier with his service.

Since deregulation in PA, I review my energy (Gas & Electric) at least once a year. I was amazed with how easy it was to convert my electric service to Shipley Energy. They not only had one of the lowest rates, but also the online process was quick, very easy, and I received emails explaining my account had been created and the cancellation to my previous supplier. Would definitely recommend to family and friends shopping for a new utility provider

I've been a Shipley Propane customer since 2015.  After experiencing a very large spike in my propane prices from Shipley, I did some research and called their customer support. Kat and Steve addressed my concerns, re-billed by two previous high price propane invoices, and locked me into a competitive rate going forward.  It's always nice working with a customer service department that speaks clearly, acts quickly, and is empathetic toward a valued customer's concern.  Thanks guys - greatly appreciated.
