Did I Save Money?

Now that you’ve made the switch to natural gas, you may be wondering just how much you are saving on your monthly bill. The table below compares the average LRES residential natural gas bill (including the meter charge) for December, January, and February against an equivalent propane energy volume at a cash price of $1.59 per gallon – a low cash price available locally during those months.

	Average Monthly Usage	Cost
Propane	159 gallons	$252.45
Natural Gas	145 therms	$172.45
Average Monthly Savings		$80.00
Total Savings per Customer for December, January, and February		$240

 

While propane may be purchased at a summer price or under an early season contract at lower cost, propane would still need to be purchased at less than $1.08 per gallon to beat our LRES natural gas rate this winter. LRES natural gas is competitively priced and a solid value.
