| Budget Billing – Residential Customers |
|
With budget billing, you'll pay exactly what you ordinarily would for natural gas, but we'll help you fit the energy bill into your budget. A budget bill is the average of your bills over the past twelve months. It brings your highest bills down and your lowest bills up to nearly the same amount each month. By smoothing out the bills, you won't have to deal with higher payments during the heating season, and the holidays.

| Wise Energy Use |
|
|
The graph above shows the major energy users in the average home. Heating and cooling, along with water heating, make up most of your energy bill. Fine tuning these two areas will make the most dramatic impact on what you pay each month. Coweta-Fayette EMC Natural Gas offers these tips for efficient energy use. Besides helping the heating and cooling system keep your home more comfortable, they'll also save money. •Maintain the heating and cooling system. Keep the filter clean; trim brush from around the outdoor unit and move furniture and rugs from over vents inside the house. It's also a good idea to have a licensed contractor give the unit a tune-up and inspection. If your system is old, consider upgrading. •Help the system do its job. In the summer, use ceiling fans. The moving air gives a wind chill effect and allows running the air conditioner at a higher setting without sacrificing comfort. In the winter, put on long sleeves or use a blanket. It's possible to save up to three percent for every degree higher you can set the thermostat during the summer. The same is true for every degree lower the thermostat goes during the winter. •In the summer, move heat producing household chores to cooler parts of the day. •Close blinds and drapes in the summer. Use window coverings to block the sun's direct rays on the east side of the building in the morning and the west side in the afternoon. Let the sun shine in during the winter for solar heating. •Turn off lights. Surprisingly, a common light bulb gives off 90 percent of its energy as heat. •Limit door and window openings all year and don't use whole-house fans in the summer. The idea is to keep the outside air from coming inside. •Weatherize the building. Make sure insulation and attic ventilation are adequate. •Avoid comparing your present bill with the bill from a previous house. Homes turn out to be very different when it comes to energy features, construction techniques and the efficiency of the cooling equipment. •Avoid comparing bills with a neighbor. No two families have the same energy habits and attitudes. •Remember how hot or cold it might have been just a few weeks ago. The bill you get in the mail today is really a reflection of what took place up to five or six weeks ago. It's like your child's report card; the grades you see aren't for what they did today; it's a summary of the last several weeks. •Your heating and cooling unit's filter may not be easy to access, but it's worth the effort. The filter on some units can be in the attic or crawlspace. Change or clean your filter (depending on the type) at least every other month. •Have a licensed contractor check your cooling system for leaks. Leaky ducts can waste up to one-third or more of the cooling or heating your system produces. That means you'll pay one third more to heat and cool your home.
