Our Budget Program Is Now Open!

Written on: August 1, 2022

How does the propane budget program work?

With fuel prices soaring across the board lately, we are proud to remain priced like the local guys. When you go with Lakes Gas, you won’t see excessive fees or any of the other “extras” that make some of our larger competitors so expensive. Our local pricing keeps your bills under control—always. Even so, we recognize that many of our customers have special budget constraints during times like these. That’s why we offer budget and payment options to make things more manageable, with no surprises. Read on to learn more about what Lakes Gas can do for you.

Budget program: 2022-2023 plans starting NOW!

Our Budget Program is one of our most popular plan options, and that’s just one reason you don’t want to miss out. Here’s how it works: The budget propane price is the current discounted retail market price at the time of delivery. It is subject to move up or down with the market. We put a cap-not-to-exceed price in effect for upside protection on the market, for no extra charge. That means even if prices skyrocket, your costs won’t!

Our pricing process is upfront and simple

Here’s how your budget plan is calculated:

• Say what? A discounted price! Your budget is calculated at 10 cents under cap price.
• Easy, consistent payments. The budget is divided into 11 payment periods, due the 10th of each month, beginning in July, and designed to have a zero balance at the end of the agreement.
• Get yours now! Budgets currently run from July 1 through May 30. New customers may enter the program mid-year.
• Flexible and fair. If Lakes Gas reviews a budget account and determines the monthly payment is not enough or too much for the gas usage, the company will, at its discretion, adjust the budget amount accordingly. If a budget customer fails to make monthly payments, Lakes Gas reserves the right to terminate the budget plan.
• Risk-free. Any remaining credits at the end of the year can be rolled over into next year’s agreement or refunded to the customer.
