I live in IL and my gas company is NICOR. Over the summer I signed up for the budget plan in hopes that I could alleviate some of the huge winter heating bills we have all been expecting. My budget plan bill was $150 monthly. This seemed high to me, but I thought they (Nicor) were getting ready for high winter bills. The budget amount is re-evaluated every 4 months. Mine came up in November.
I don't know what I was expecting, but definitely not what I got. My new "budget" amount was $358.00 per month. AND I had a credit of over $200. Shocked, I canceled the plan, and will keep paying as much or more than my bill to build up my credit and dip into it if need be.
At this point we have been keeping our heat set to 60. Things are not looking good people, it is not even cold out yet and we are freezing in here. My hubby is putting plastic on the windows as we speak, I hope it helps.
