We know many of you are concerned about your heating costs.
NorthWestern Energy uses historical data to secure natural gas supplies for the winter, buying gas for storage and on fixed-price contracts when prices are low so it can be used when demand, and prices, are higher. This year, increased global demand and limited production and natural gas inventory have increased prices.
NorthWestern Energy natural gas customers’ heating costs will be higher than last winter.
Higher natural gas costs are reflected in the Purchase Gas Commodity or Natural Gas Supply item on customers’ bills. The monthly service rate to deliver natural gas service to your homes and businesses is unchanged.

Is your furnace ready for winter?
When was the last time you had your furnace inspected? Can’t recall? That means it is time for an inspection. A well-maintained furnace is more efficient and safe. You should have all natural gas appliances, furnaces, vents, flues, chimneys and gas lines in your home or business inspected every year or two by a qualified industry professional. In addition, stock up on furnace filters and change them monthly.
