UGI customers will see $1 increase in natural gas monthly bills

Hazleton Standard Speaker · last updated

UGI Utilities Inc. said customers will see a smaller-than-expected increase in their monthly natural gas bills, beginning Dec. 1.

The average residential heating customer receiving gas from UGI will see their total bill increase by 0.9%, raising their total average monthly bill to $119.49 from $118.43, officials said in a release.

Utilities are required by law to pass the cost of the natural gas they purchase directly through to customers without any markup.

The company said it recognizes that some customers may have difficulty paying their heating bill. Customers with a limited or fixed income should visit ugi.com/customerassistance or call 1-800-UGI-WARM to see if they are eligible for one of several energy assistance programs.

UGI said it also can help eligible customers apply for federally funded Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) grants when that application process opens on Dec. 3.

In addition, UGI offers budget billing, as well as multiple payment options such as via UGI’s online account center and app, and an auto-pay program to help customers manage bill payments.

Additional information on energy efficiency programs is available at ugi.com/energy-saving-tips.
