Basically, the utility estimates your usage for a year and divides it by 12. At the end of the term, if you go down in usage, your new payments become lower and vice versa.

That happened one month in our first apartment & we got a ridiculous heating bill. <br/>2) you probably could use less of either utility, too, if you're like most people. Look into energy vampires like always on appliances. Maybe I missed this, but you could
