Next winter, don’t get caught with those large “surprise” bills!  

Enroll in the Nantucket Energy Budget Plan.  This is designed for the budget conscious household, allowing for consistancy and stablity in montly fuel payments!

1. Based on your fuel usage, we will work with you to develop a fixed monthly payment plan for your yearly fuel needs.  For the budget-conscious household the Budget Plan allows for stability and consistency in the payment of monthly fuel bills.  The Budget Plan allows you to anticipate your fuel payments and avoid getting those large “surprise” bills in the middle of the heating season.  Preferred enrollment for the Budget Plan is April-June.*

2. Deliveries will be performed automatically and electronic tank monitoring is available for a small monthly fee that goes away the more gas you use – standard residential heating customers will likely pay no monthly fee at all.  Don’t forget that Budget Plan customers can also save additional money by utilizing our Prompt Payment Discount.

3. Budget Plan customers can avoid large “surprise” bills by having a fixed monthly payment for their estimated fuel needs.  Customers will be required to provide their estimated gallons per year usage and must purchase at least 500 gallons of fuel a year from Nantucket Energy in order to qualify for the Budget Plan.

4. To calculate their monthly payment, the customer's usage for the previous year is totaled and then divided by 11.   Payments are made by the customer the first of every month based on the resulting calculation.  In the twelfth month, Nantucket Energy reconciles the account with the remaining balance due.  Accordingly, the Budget Plan formula is as follows: Usage /11 x price = monthly payment.

5. The Prompt Payment Discount will apply to Budget Plan customers.  Provided they are purchasing at least 500 gallons of fuel per year, Budget Plan customers will receive electronic tank monitoring at no additional charge.  A customer must also have a primary gas-fired system on their property such as residential heat, a pool heater or gas-fired hot water to qualify for the Budget Plan.  Budget Plan accounts for cooking gas or gas dryers only will not be accepted.   

6. Any credit remaining on a Budget Plan account at the end of the year will be applied only to credit for fuel from Nantucket Energy or the credit may be “rolled over” into a new Budget Plan for the following year.   Credits on a Budget Plan account are non-refundable and non-transferable.  Customers on the Budget Plan with less than twelve (12) months of payment history with Nantucket Energy will be required to maintain a major credit card on file with the office to ensure payment.

Preferred enrollment is April-June.   Email us today to begin your enrollment process and a Nantucket Energy Representative will be in touch.

Did you know - Converting from oil to propane is Awesome.

Lower energy costs while reducing your home’s carbon emissions is what we want.

Heating systems in both new and existing homes revealed a number of advantages for Nantucket homeowners who are considering converting their homes from oil to propane:

• A propane furnace is less expensive to install as a replacement system compared to a standard- efficiency fuel-oil furnace. *
• Forced-air furnace systems in new homes, a high-efficiency propane-fueled furnace costs about $2,100 less to install and nearly $100 a year less to operate versus a high-efficiency 
oil-fueled furnace. *
