Budget Billing
Pioneer offers budget billing as a monthly payment plan intended to take the seasonal highs and lows out of your monthly heating and cooling bills. The program is designed to allow members to accumulate a credit balance on your account in the spring and fall to offset higher bills that are typically seen in the summer and winter.
Budget billing uses a 12-month average to determine your budget payment — a payment recalculated in February and August of each year. By recalculating the budgeted payment twice a year it decreases the need to make a large settle-up payment. Adjustments to the budgeted bill will take into consideration home upgrades — potentially decreasing your monthly payment.
Accounts must be residential.
