I can only speak for our local gas company, and fighting with them is an exercise in futility. They have no competition which pretty much gives them the right to **** you over.
Funny thing is, about 10 years ago they sent me a letter wanting to get into my storage room to install a transmitter thing that allows them to read the meters by just driving down the street, which would involve me taking time off work to let them in to do it, and also clearing out the area they need to get to. Yeah, I'll get right on that just to help you pricks out. |

I might be missing something, but it seems that you used the natural gas you're being charged for, yes? if so, I can't understand why you're even asking what we think.

Monetarily, what's the difference between what they say you owe and what you think you owe?

And I can tell you from experience that you will get ****ed in estimated usage, but mine always even out in the long run because they just couldn't get to the meter. Yours won't. |

I take it you didn't read the OP well. So the difference is that this winter has been much warmer than last winter, causing a difference in the monthly bills. My household is now 3 teenagers smaller than it was last winter which also would cause a difference between last winter and this winter. Since they estimated our monthly bills at 95% of last winter usage the numbers that they came up with are not correct by a good amount. |

This is why I read all three meters on my house monthly.

I used some natural gas but how many gallons? They cannot prove how many I did or did not use.

If it bothers you that bad, go down and talk to them in person. It's a lot harder to say no in person.

Their office is a 4 hour trip away or I would. I have already talked to their customer service department and someone above them is suppose to contact me in the next couple of days to try and resolve this issue.

Neither can you. Most utilities have calculations based on temperature. Heating days or something like that. I'll see if I can find something for you.
