Fall is here! The smell of pumpkin spice latte is in the air and the feeling of cozy nights in our home with family is just around the corner. But, while we enjoy these restful and warm nights, we cannot lower our guard when it comes to our natural gas consumption. According to the US Census Bureau, natural gas is used on 47.1% of housing units. The U.S Energy Information Administration reports that the majority of homes in the U.S. primarily use natural gas for heating systems. During low-temperature months, gas bills can increase up to 50% compared to spring and summer. Overusing dryers, water heaters, and setting heating systems higher than 68 degrees, can cause these terrifying high gas charges if you are not careful.
Don’t panic! These creepy high-gas bills have a solution.
Budget billing plans are the #1 tool consumers can utilize when high bills appear on their accounts due to their high usage. Each natural gas provider has a specific budget billing plan available for your home, so let´s look at two of the most common plans!
Fixed prices on Therms: Fixed rates set a fixed price on your therms of usually, $0.XX per therm for a period of twelve months. This will give you certainty that your therm price will not fluctuate and affect your bills while enjoying your gas service. Though, if your account is closed during the twelve-month period, a termination fee might be added to your account.
Average Billing: This plan fixes your account on a monthly rate rather than on your consumption. Average Billing plan adds up your past 12 months of historical usage and obtains an average amount on your services which will then be charged to you for the next 12 months. To be able to enroll within “Average Billing” plans, your account must be active for 12 months.
Getting your account set with one of these great budget billing plans is just one text, email, or call away.
Our representatives will help you confirm if your account is eligible for these plans and enroll you!
