Another option available to customers that can’t pay your Piedmont Natural Gas bill is LIHEAP home energy assistance program. This federally-funded program provides assistance so customers can pay your past due or current heating or cooling bills. Since LIHEAP funds are only available once per year, we recommend submitting your application early in the year.

The first thing to do is start with a payment arrangement, but if it becomes a regular issue for you, then you may want to consider the average billing option where your monthly payment is the same, and is an average of your usage. There are also a variety of agencies and charities that may be able to assist with making the payments. Contact customer service to learn more about these programs and whether or not you may be eligible.
