From Atmos Energy:
Lubbock, (November 09, 2012) - Atmos Energy Corporation said today that natural gas prices are expected to remain
low and steady throughout the Winter 2012/2013 season bringing another year of
affordable heating bills for customers.
"Atmos Energy is also
pleased to announce that natural gas supplies are higher than normal, which
will mean the continued reliable delivery of natural gas to keep customers warm
this winter," said David Park, president of Atmos Energy's West Texas
Division. "Safe and reliable service is what Atmos Energy provides, and we
are ready for winter."
Natural gas is showing its value
as the best fuel choice for consumers in terms of price, reliability and
efficiency according to the American Gas Association.
"The AGA's most recent
analysis "The Promise of Natural Gas (PDF),"
points to a decade or more of relative market stability projected for natural
gas," Park said. "That is great news for Atmos Energy customers
who expect reliable service at an affordable price."
Customers can still do their part
to reduce energy bills even more by taking these extra steps this winter:
1. The best way to lower your
energy bill is to use energy more wisely. A programmable thermostat allows you
to keep your house cooler at night and when you're away, and will automatically
warm your house to comfortable levels for the hours you are home.
2. Try Atmos Energy's online
tools such as an Energy Calculator to help
manage your energy use.
3. Inspect your windows and doors
for drafts. Use caulk or sealant to insulate as needed.
4. If you are having trouble
paying your utility bill, please visit our website to learn more about energy
assistance programs.
Low‐income customers are eligible for federal energy assistance
through the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), which helps pay
energy bills and weatherize homes.
