What is Pre-Pay Guaranteed Bill?
With the Pre-Pay Guaranteed Bill plan, you never have to worry about being hit with an unexpectedly high gas bill. You’ll get a personalized, flat monthly rate that won’t change regardless of changes in natural gas rates or weather, even in winter.
This isn't your typical budget billing where you run the risk of getting hit with a hefty bill if you use more gas than expected in the cold weather. With our Pre-Pay Guaranteed Bill plan there is no settlement or deferred amount to pay at the end of your plan term. It’s simply a great way to protect and manage your budget.
How is it different from other bill options?
Some providers offer “budget billing,” but if you use more gas than expected, they’ll typically charge you the difference at the end of the year.
With Pay-Pay Guaranteed Bill, you pay a flat monthly amount and there's no deferred payment at the end of your plan term.
How does it compare to other plans?
While both Pre-Pay Guaranteed Bill and our variable Pre-Pay plan require you to pay in advance for your gas service, only Pre-Pay Guaranteed Bill locks in your monthly bill amount. On the variable Pre-Pay plan, your price per therm could change or remain the same based on market conditions. That means your monthly bill amount will fluctuate with the price of gas and your usage. This generally causes winter bills to spike during cold weather months.
Pre-Pay Guaranteed Bill is a flat monthly bill amount tailored to your premises. It provides you with security and protection against potentially increasing gas bills when the weather turns cold. This means you will always know your monthly bill amount. You’ll have security and protection against potentially increasing gas bills when the weather turns cold.
As an additional benefit for Pre-Pay Guaranteed Bill, you won’t have a connection charge to establish service.
