Delayed/Deferred Payment Agreement

When you enter into a Delayed/Deferred payment agreement, you’re allowed additional time to bring your account up to date. Your full balance due will be divided evenly over an agreed-upon time frame. You’ll still be responsible for paying your monthly bill in addition to your Delayed/Deferred payment agreement amount.

LIHEAP

The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) provides individuals and families with short-term fuel assistance. Persons receiving LIHEAP are connected to family development resources, which provides a link to long-term resources to help families become self-reliant. The program is designed to lower the energy burden for low-income households, who pay a high proportion of household income for home energy costs, by paying benefits for home energy bills.

Medical Emergencies:

We will not turn off a customer’s service if we receive a certificate from a doctor stating that shutting off the gas would aggravate a serious illness or create a substantial risk of death or grave illness for the customer or other permanent resident of the premises where service is provided. Medical certificates can be requested by calling our office. The certificate should identify the patient, the medical emergency, specify the likely effects on the health of the individual from discontinuing gas service, and the time during which cutting off the gas would endanger the individual. A telephone call from a doctor or nurse, nurse practitioner or public agency is acceptable if a certificate is received within seven days after the phone call. AOG shall not be required to continue to provide service for longer than 30 days unless the medical certificate is renewed before the certificate expires; and the certificate can only be renewed once in a 12 month period. Please call our Customer Service Department at 800-842-5690 for more information.

Please note: a medical emergency does not cancel the bill. If requested, we can provide you a list of local financial assistance agencies or work with you to set up a delayed payment agreement.

Low-Income Weatherization Program

Did you know that you can save an average of 35% in energy costs each year by weatherizing your home?* That’s why AOG offers comprehensive residential weatherization programs to help homes that are severely energy-inefficient improve the comfort indoors and reduce energy costs. You could be eligible to receive help to complete weatherization improvements on your home such as insulation, air sealing, window sealants or new windows, etc. Completing one or several of these measures helps to make your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.

Eligible customers include homeowners or leaseholders of a single family home, duplex or manufactured home constructed prior to 2009. For homes that meet the program energy efficiency criteria, weatherization services are provided at no cost.

Residential customers can apply for the weatherization program by submitting an online request or calling AOG Customer Service at 479-784-2000 or 1-800-842-5690.
