Americans did an about-face last year. Excess spending took a back seat to conservative spending and wise use of limited resources. We’re looking to save wherever possible—including heating costs. Federated Co-ops, Inc. offers programs to help you stay within budget and weather volatile energy markets.

Our Propane Budget Program and our Propane Pre-Buy Program saved Federated propane customers thousands of dollars last year, and we’re offering these two programs again for the 2010-2011 season.

Budget Program
Chop big gas bills down to size. Spread next season’s estimated propane bill over 11 equal monthly payments, qualify for scheduled delivery so you never have to worry about running out of gas, and guard against price spikes. Sign up for our Budget Program and we’ll throw in a price cap that saved Federated Co-ops customers over $61,000 last season.

Pre-Buy Program
Avoid in-season market spikes by pre-buying your 2010-2011 gas at a fixed price you can live with. Buy once or multiple times, whenever you feel the markets are in your favor. Take delivery of your gas any time between August 1, 2010 and April 15, 2011. Federated Co-ops pre-buy customers realized savings of over $1.3 million last season.
