In an effort to help combat the rising prices and ease the burden on customers, SoCalGas is offering accessible tools to help cut down on energy usage and help lower your bills amidst the rising costs. Currently, they are encouraging customers to sign up for weekly Bill Tracker Alerts to monitor gas consumption, take steps to reduce usage, and avoid bill surprises. In addition, eligible customers may also sign up for a Level Pay Plan, which averages their annual natural gas use and costs over 12 months. There are also a number of assistance programs that range from past due bill forgiveness, a bill discount through the CARE program, and free energy efficiency home improvements through the Energy Savings Assistance Program that may help customers better manage the sudden increase.
