4 Reasons Equal Billing Is A Smart Choice When You Use Propane To Heat And Power Your Home
Say goodbye to unexpected propane bills.
Whether you heat your home with a propane furnace or rely on a generator as a backup power source, your bills go up and down depending on how much fuel you use. Fluctuating bills make it hard to plan ahead and can be a strain on your family budget. But, when you have equal billing, you can rest easy knowing you will enjoy regular monthly bills—with no unpleasant surprises.
Equal billing isn’t a new concept, but it is one that people overlook. Here’s how it works:
With equal billing, we review our customers’ total propane usage over the past year (or the propane usage for a home of a similar size).
Then we divide this estimated annual total by twelve and bill you that same amount at the end of each month.
If by the end of the year you have used more propane than estimated, you simply pay the balance owing, and we adjust your monthly estimate for the following year. On the other hand, if you use less propane than estimated, we can apply a credit to your account and roll it forward.
At British Empire Fuels, we believe there are four key benefits when you opt into equal billing: easier budgeting, less stress, storm protection and potential savings. Take a closer look to learn more and contact our team to opt into equal billing today!
The 4 Key Benefits of Equal Billing
Thinking about equal billing, but not sure if it is the right choice for you? Here of four reasons we think you should consider opting into an equal billing plan for your propane needs with British Empire Fuels.
Easier Budgeting
Equal billing spreads out your propane costs equally throughout the year and lets you take control of your finances. With equal billing, you know exactly how much your propane bill will be each month, so you can factor it into your budget and plan ahead for the future.
Less Stress and Worry
Your heating needs change depending on the weather. That makes heating your home in the winter feel stressful, but it doesn’t have to. With equal billing, you don’t have to choose between being warm enough and avoiding a BIG bill at the end of the month. You can cozy up at home knowing your propane expenses will remain the same year-round.
Ride Out The Storm
During heavy weather or ice storms, it is not uncommon for the power to go out. When that happens, you may rely on a generator, propane BBQ or propane heater to keep your family safe and comfortable while hydro crews do their work. It also means your propane use —and bill— is higher than usual. With equal billing, you can focus on staying safe and warm instead of worrying about a big bill
Enjoy Potential Savings
If your propane use is less than estimated, you could earn a credit to apply to your account and reduce your monthly bills for your next cycle. Money back in your pocket (or on your account) is never a bad thing!
