gas utility rates

Gas utility rates are the charges you pay for natural gas service, typically composed of a fixed monthly fee and a variable usage rate based on how much gas you consume. These rates help cover the costs of extracting, processing, and delivering natural gas to your home, as well as maintaining the infrastructure. Rates can vary by location, provider, and season, often rising in winter when demand is higher. Your bill reflects both the amount of gas used and the rate set by your utility company, ensuring they can maintain reliable and safe service.
