If your association sees large fluctuations in gas and/or electricity bills between the heating and non-heating months, your cash flow will benefit from enrollment in a budget payment plan with Peoples Gas and ComEd. The budget payment option allows you to pay a consistent monthly amount rather than paying for actual usage. Budgeting for 2013 is easier when you know what you are paying on a monthly basis.
Review your current invoices for information about the budget payment option and how to enroll.
