So I keep hearing that I need to be on fixed rates for this winter- I've been on the floating rates for gas and electricity for 12 years now.

I have an old Enmax EasyMAX plan that gives me $100 a year back in bill credits.

It's very tricky and confusing to know if you are getting a fair deal on floating or if the fixed is better... with all the administration, delivery, transmission, balancing pool allocation, rate riders, franchise fee (I live in Airdrie), Federal Carbon Tax, ATCO fixed charge, ATCO Variable charge.

My energy charge is roughly 30% of my total bill every month. So how can I compare to a fixed rate plan, if some of those mentioned additional charges will likely also change on a different plan?

Does anyone have some good tips? This seems as confusing as cable/internet/mobile contracts.
