Washington Gas announced today that its customers could expect a 20 percent increase in heating bills over last winter due to last year’s mild winter weather. Natural gas prices may vary if temperatures are colder than anticipated and create an increased demand for natural gas. With an anticipated return to normal weather this winter, resulting in increased usage and higher bills, Washington Gas encourages customers to prepare accordingly for the heating season.
“We are committed to providing safe, reliable natural gas service to communities across the region while ensuring that our customers have the energy answers they need to stay warm this winter,” said Adrian Chapman, President and Chief Operating Officer at Washington Gas. “Throughout the summer and fall, we have filled our natural gas storage services. These services are essential to meeting winter demand. We also maintain access to a diverse set of natural gas supply points to cost effectively serve our customers’ needs under all weather conditions.”
As utility bills can be hard to navigate, Washington Gas encourages customers to ask any questions that they have when bills arrive. In short, bills have three components:
As a regulated utility, Washington Gas charges customers the same price that the company pays for the natural gas supply, transportation and storage. Taxes or other fees levied by state and local governments are also included as separate line items on the bill.
Customers will see a fluctuation in their bill amounts as seasons change, with more energy from natural gas being used in the coldest months of winter. So, as colder weather approaches, Washington Gas continues to encourage customers to prepare their homes by taking simple steps now to help manage energy costs and stay safe, warm and energy-smart when temperatures start to drop:
Always Safe!
At Washington Gas, safety is the number one priority. That is why it is particularly important that customers are aware of a winter hazard and what to do about it. Washington Gas strongly encourages anyone who smells gas to move to a safe location and call 911 and the Washington Gas emergency line at 703-750-1400.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, toxic gas, created when fossil fuels are not burned completely. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends putting CO detectors outside the bedrooms in each separate sleeping area of your home. Also recommended is the installation of smoke alarms on each level of your residence and inside every bedroom. For both types of devices, check batteries monthly and replace them at least twice a year.
Payment Plans
Washington Gas offers several payment plans and services to help manage energy costs. For those customers having difficulty paying their natural gas bills, contact Washington Gas as soon as possible to learn about alternative payment plans that may be available. Plans include:
