Location:	Why is this important?
	Weather in Ohio can vary based on the region of the state, especially due to the effects of Lake Erie during the winter season. Consumers in northern Ohio (for example, near Toledo, Sandusky, Lorain, Cleveland or Ashtabula) may often experience more days of the year which require heating. Those living in central and southern Ohio may experience more days when air conditioning is necessary.

Gas Company:

Please Note:

Calculations do not include customer service charges.
Calculations are based on national and state average usage statistics.
The price of natural gas used for these calculations is based on the lowest supplier rate for a one-year agreement as shown on the OCC's "Comparing your energy choices" charts, which are updated weekly.

OCC has had to cancel many of its services, including its consumer call center, due to recent budget cuts. We realize you may continue to need assistance with your utility services. OCC's website provides free access to publications and resources.

You may seek assistance with utility complaints from the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio: 800-686-7826. For complaints about non-utility related services, you may call the Ohio Attorney General at 800-282-0515.
