How do I get billed?
You will be billed by your utility company in the same manner you've always been billed. You will still pay your utility company a delivery charge and a customer charge. The cost of gas line item will now read Bishop Energy. After you pay your utility bill, the utility will reimburse us.

Is the delivery charge more with Bishop Energy?
No, in fact in some cases we've found customers being overcharged by their utility for the delivery of gas and we were able to get the rates reduced.
