Bill Planning Guide

We understand higher gas costs are a concern for all customers, so we've developed this guide to help you budget for natural gas throughout the year. Follow the steps below:

  1. View your usage history.
    • Log in to My Account.
    • Click on "Your Gas Use History."
    • Locate the "Usage in Therms" column. Jot down the number of therms you used for the same month last year.
  2. Look at this month's gas cost and match it to the closest "Gas Prices" range in the chart below.
  3. Match your actual therm usage (from My Account) to the range on the chart.
  4. Find your "Approximate Bill Range."
$0.91 - 1.00
$1.01 - 1.10
$1.11 - 1.20

The "Approximate Bill Range" includes gas costs, delivery charges and taxes. If your gas usage varies substantially from last year, so will your total bill.

This table is not intended for those customers in the Customer Select program. Please consult your gas supplier for gas cost information and questions.

The outdoor temperature is directly related to the amount of gas you use, so reviewing historical weather data can help you understand your gas use history.
