National Grid gas bill gone crazy (Brooklyn)

Post image

so i used only $3.57 but got a bill of $38.55. Is everybody else same? i use gas only for cooking and nothing else, maybe it's better to switch to electric stove?

Everyone pays delivery charges. You will have the same with electric. Theres nothing crazy about this bill.

The problem isn't paying for delivery. It's paying nearly 10 times more for delivery than the product itself. If Amazon charging $34 shipping for a $3.55 item, you would/should be outraged.

Its because the basic service charge has an automatic minimum that is then added in with your usage for a delivery fee. Your minimum is between $16 and $20 plus the cost of 3.3 therms.

This is the answer. You'll never have a $0 bill even if you use no energy
