 Equalized Billing

Customers can request to be set up for equalized billing and have their bills averaged out, based on the previous   years consumption (plus service charges and then divided by twelve). If you choose this option your account needs to be current and you need to contact us by June and payments on account must be made each month by the due date to maintain equalized billing status.

Understanding Your Bill
Monthly Fixed Charge: $40.00/month

All domestic and commercial customers are levied a monthly fixed charge. This charge is levied on both active and inactive risers. This is to help offset the cost of public liability insurance, routine testing, leak checks, and maintenance on all gas lines, regulators, meters, and odorizing stations, as well as line locates for members, contractors, and non members. It also makes the payments on the loan that Northern Lights Gas Co-op Ltd. had to take for the construction of our alternative supply line.

Renters

If you are moving into a rental property and the landlord prefers you to have your own account to pay your gas, we can set you up.

Give us a call in advance and let us know your anticipated move-in date. You will also need to pay a $300 deposit with the agreement and when you move out you will be refunded the deposit (less any outstanding amount from your final bill).

Once set up, you will receive your bill each month
