Maybe the gas is cheap, but the monthly and up-front connection costs mess with the economics.
And that cost will only go up as people cut the gas cord.
Depends on how your utility bills out it’s infrastructure: some charge minimal monthly connection fees, others a lot.
I honestly wouldn’t want to own a residential-focussed gas distribution company unless someone revolutionizes stirling engines or micro cogen systems and people start cutting their electric cord.
- lizknope 4y agoI live in a pretty standard suburban subdivision in the US. All the houses are 25 years old. I have about 60 coworkers in very similar situations. I think everyone of us has natural gas that was installed when the original company built all the homes in the subdivision over the course of a year. Stuff gets a lot cheaper when everything is put into the ground at the same time. My monthly gas connection fee is $10 so that in the summer my bill is around $19 which is $9 for the water heater and $10 for the connection fee.
