[QUOTE="HeyEng, post: 3173665, member: 44022"] I am very new to the area and trying to figure out the cost of NG from ONG is an absolute pain in the arse. We moved here from Georgia where they "deregulated" NG a few years ago and all it did was add a middleman (the "gas marketer") and as you might guess raise prices accordingly. Nonetheless, determining cost was pretty darn easy as all the marketers had to provide the cost to the state and they were compiled monthly on a spreadsheet. We had a 2200 SF house with gas heat and water heater. Our cheapest NG bill was $36 (which was mainly what Oklahoma would call the delivery charge) and the average in the winter was $90-$125 (Nov-Mar). Almost everyone used a fixed price as the variable rates were much, MUCH higher. At any rate, we are buying a house with NG water heater and cook range, the heat is geothermal HVAC so our basic cost shouldn't be too bad. Where it *could* get crazy is with the 400,000 BTU pool heater...so not so sure I will be using that. What is the current rate (ballpark) per DTH (they use dekatherm, here, correct?) [/QUOTE]
