An Easier Way To Budget—Guaranteed!
No one can predict the weather, or how much gas prices will fluctuate from month to month. These unknowns can create unwelcome surprises on your gas bill. Now you can have the assurance of knowing exactly what your gas bill will be — regardless of changing gas prices or the weather.
Here's how Lock 12 works ...
We'll determine your individual Nicor Advanced Energy Lock 12 amount for the next 12 months based on several factors such as normal weather, gas prices, and prior gas usage at your home.
- If you live in the Nicor Gas territory, you will be enrolling in the Nicor Gas Customer Select program
- If you live in the Peoples Gas or North Shore Gas territory, you will be enrolling in the Choices for You program.
- Nicor Advanced Energy will supply your gas and your gas utility will continue to read your meter, deliver your gas, and respond to any gas leaks, as normal.
Yes, please SIGN ME UP for the Nicor Advanced Energy Lock 12 residential program for the next 12 months.
More stable than the Utility's Gas Budget plan.
Make no mistake. This is not your gas utility's budget plan. There are no periodic adjustments, no true-ups and no variations in your monthly bill to worry about. You just pay the same amount for 12 months, regardless of the weather or how the price of gas changes. There's no guarantee that you'll pay more or less than you would have paid with your gas utility's budget plan or standard rates over the same period of time.
Lock in before next winter.
With the Lock 12 program, you'll know exactly what you'll be paying each and every month, so you can better budget your expenses. Your Lock 12 amount will remain consistent — even in the face of extreme weather and gas prices. Lock in your gas cost for the next heating season, since prices could become more volatile during the winter months.
