Whats the difference between an actual and an estimated read?
Equitable Gas schedules an actual reading every other month; we estimate your gas usage on months we do not read your meter. An actual reading is when an Equitable Gas employee views and records the amount of gas used in a billing period. An estimated reading occurs when we “estimate” the amount of gas used in a billing period. Estimated readings are based on the typical amount of gas used by your home, adjusted for current temperature conditions. Estimates are not able to adjust for current events at your home (for example, if you take a 2-week vacation where no hot water is used, no cooking takes place or, in the winter, less gas is used to heat the home).
