What’s the average natural gas bill in Georgia?

If your home uses hot water, heat, or even a dryer, you’re likely taking advantage of natural gas – and receiving a monthly bill for the amount you use. But how do you know if you’re paying too much, just about right or getting a steal of a deal?

There are many factors that influence your natural gas bill, including your rate plan and monthly usage, so one way to see if you might be paying too much is by comparing your natural gas usage (or the amount of therms you burn) to the average Georgian’s.

According to the Georgia Public Service Commission*, the average Georgian burns 613 therms of natural gas per year. Here’s how that breaks down for each month.
