Reply to comment by Gallitzen in Gas bill doubled by ListofReddit

That doesn’t solve OP’s problem of a high gas bill though, it just shifts it around a bit. If prices go way up like they have recently, the user is still on the hook for way more $$. Added fees may also apply.

Better off focusing on things that will bring energy costs down long term, such as replacing old drafty windows, adding/replacing insulation, and upgrading the heating system.

Those are all great things you can do...if you own a home AND have the income or credit to fund them, especially given how expensive they currently are. None of those suggestions solve OP's problems either, as they're in a rented space, and there's little to no incentive for a landlord to modernize when they have artificially inflated market price profits to offset utility costs when they don't have tenants.

political policies friendly to oil and gas companies don’t necessarily guarantee low oil and gas prices. The market dictates the price.
