We're here to help.
If you sign up on a 12-month Guaranteed Bill plan, for your convenience, at the end of your term, we will automatically renew your agreement on the Guaranteed Bill plan for another 12 months, subject to your continued eligibility. You’ll also have the option to sign up on any other plans you are eligible for.
At the end of their term, customers who enrolled on a 6-month Guaranteed Bill plan (or on a 12-month Guaranteed Bill plan prior to Feb. 5, 2019) can change to another eligible price plan. If you do nothing, you will automatically be placed on our standard Variable Select plan which does not have a long-term contract, so you can choose another plan at any time.
When you call back to renew, we will confirm your eligibility and recalculate your Guaranteed Bill amount. We will estimate the amount of gas you will use in the subsequent Guaranteed Bill plan term period based on your most recent usage patterns, and accounting for the impact of weather during that time.
Your newly quoted Guaranteed Bill amount may be different than your previous Guaranteed Bill amount based upon multiple factors, including without limitation gas prices at that time, your new predicted usage and the term of your prior agreement as compared to your new agreement. Please note, any changes to your quoted Guaranteed Bill amount will NOT include a “true up” from your prior agreement. After receiving your Guaranteed Bill quote you will have the option of reenrolling on a currently available Guaranteed Bill plan or selecting another one of our price plans.
If you have changed your heating patterns excessively, it may affect your ability to re-enroll on a Guaranteed Bill Plan. After all, if we can’t predict your usage, we can’t offer you a new guaranteed amount.
At GNG we do not encourage the wasteful use of gas. The flat guaranteed amount you are given is calculated based on historical usage patterns at your premises. However, we understand that your gas use will change as the weather changes. If it is very cold, of course you will use more gas than you normally would. With Guaranteed Bill, we expect that, and you will be fully covered.
Excessive changes in consumption not related to the weather are not considered normal usage on a Guaranteed Bill plan. Examples could include adding an addition to your house, heating a new pool all winter, or turning your house into a "sauna" by setting your thermostat to an unusually high temperature. In extreme cases, if a customer used significantly more gas than we would expect given the weather, we reserve the right to terminate you from the plan and put you on our standard Variable Select plan. Again, increases in use due to cold weather are included with your plan and you will never be terminated because you used more gas due to extreme cold. However, excessive changes such as those listed above are not included in your plan. More details are available in your disclosure statement which is a part of your welcome letter.
