Winter heating bills can often be a source of worry for many households, but we can help alleviate some of the stress with our free Average Monthly Payments (AMP). AMP enables you to pay your annual energy bill in average monthly payments to avoid the seasonal ups and downs of your natural gas bills.
Switching to AOG’s Average Monthly Payments plan helps to make payments for your heating bills more predictable and manageable by spreading the cost out over the year. This will not reduce your annual heating cost, but it will help you budget by billing you the average amount based on the last 12 months, each month.
When you enroll in AMP, we’ll determine your average monthly payment amount for your household based on your past energy usage. This helps your monthly gas bill remain more consistent and predictable, regardless of changes in your actual energy usage throughout the year. This is particularly helpful during the winter months when energy usage tends to peak due to increased heating needs.
How our Average Monthly Payments works
AMP is a rolling average based on your actual gas usage. It’s calculated by looking at your previous 11 months’ bills added to the total for the current month. This amount is then added to your accrued debit or credit balance. That sum is then divided by 12, and that’s the amount you pay that month. Because it’s a rolling average, there is no true-up at the end of the year.
Not only can AMP help you avoid unexpected high bills, it can also help you manage your household budget by knowing ahead of time about how much your monthly gas bill will be, so you can plan and budget accordingly.
Enjoy a more stress-free winter by enrolling in AMP today!
