There are several benefits of using gas.

1. Natural gas is the dominant energy source for home heating with more than 53% of American homes using gas. Natural gas will continue to be a major U.S. energy source into the 21 st century.
2. Natural gas is America ‘s best energy value. That’s why natural gas use has increased by 35% over the last decade, and is projected to grow by 40% by 2015. On average, electricity costs three (3) times more to use in your home than natural gas.
3. Natural gas is “Made in America .” 99% of the supplies used in the U.S. are produced in North America , and there are abundant supplies.
4. Natural gas is safe and reliable. The 1.3 million mile underground natural gas pipeline delivery system has an outstanding safety record.
5. Natural gas is a wise environment choice because it is the cleanest and most efficient fossil fuel. Most electricity comes from coal, which produces far more emissions than natural gas. Unlike electricity, natural gas produces no solid waste.

Listed below is a simple look at how Statesboro Natural Gas computes your monthly gas bill.

There are three main components to your bill each month:

• The first is a base or customer service charge. This charge enables us to serve and maintain your account and includes meter reading, billing, payment processing, etc. The amount is the same every month whether or not any gas is used.
• Next is the cost of natural gas itself. Gas prices will fluctuate from month to month according to the market. When calculating your bill, we use the most recent 12 month average of spot market natural gas prices. This way, your bill will remain stable as gas prices rise and fall.
• The third component of your bill is the cost of transporting natural gas from the producer to your home.

Even though we are the only natural gas company that serves your area, our rates will always be competitive. Since Statesboro Natural Gas is a city-owned gas system, we exist only to provide valuable services to our residents and customers. Energy costs cannot be predicted with 100% accuracy; however, we are committed to delivering a reliable, efficient fuel to your home or business at the lowest possible price.
