Increases In Natural Gas Bill

 

GasKey is Now A Division of MXenergy


Natural gas is one of the most unpredictable commodities traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX). National market prices fluctuate up and down, depending on several factors such as unusually hot weather and competing fuel costs. And, because natural gas is clean, efficient, and reliable, it has become increasingly popular for use in homes, businesses, and electric power-generation, therefore, increasing demand. All of these factors have contributed to the increase in natural gas prices.
 

In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath significantly disrupted natural gas production capability off the shores of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. The storm impacted hundreds of offshore wells, dozens of onshore processing facilities, and miles of pipeline. As the industry rebuilds itself in the region, short term spikes in the price of natural gas are likely, resulting from the more limited supplies that are available to meet the remaining demand. It remains to be seen whether any long lasting effects may surface.

Be Aware of Any Changes in Your Natural Gas Consumption/Usage
Have you added any natural gas appliances or equipment to your home or business? Do you have additional people living in your household? If you answered “yes” to either of these questions, chances are your gas consumption has increased.

Confirming Your Meter Reading
AGL reads your gas meter every month. You can confirm the accuracy of your recorded reading by locating your gas meter at your home and comparing the meter reading to the Meter Information recorded on your bill. If you discover that the reading on your meter is lower than the Meter Information on your bill, you should contact a MXenergy Customer Service Representative.
