TIRED OF GETTING CALLS FROM NATURAL GAS MARKETERS?

By: Chamber President/CEO
Joe Kleinknecht


If you’re currently a member of the chamber, give us a call and we can explain our “Natural Gas Program which is handled through Alternative Energy Source” to you.

We have partnered with Alternative Energy Source for over 10 years and our members enjoy the peace of mind of being in a managed program that is backed by the local Chamber of Commerce.

You too, can end the stress of trying to figure out which programs are legitimate and which aren’t.

We recently reduced one of our new members annual gas bill by nearly $3,000 by enrolling with Alternative Energy and cancelling the current program they are in.

All we need is two copies (front & back) of your recent gas bills and we can get you a free quote.

If you’re not currently a chamber member, check us out, not only for the potential for savings on your natural gas account, but also the many other money saving benefits we have. We can save you much more than your annual membership dues investment.

Last year we saved our members over $700,000 through our member benefits programs. 

Please contact us for details at 419-468-7737.
