Credit/Debit Card and Electronic Checks

Payments can be made by phone 24/7, English or Spanish, by calling our third party administrator at1-833-77EZPAY (1-833-773-9729). Fees apply.

EFT Payments

With our Electronic  Funds Transfer (EFT) Payment Plan, you can eliminate the need to write checks or travel to any of our offices to pay your bill. Your payment will be automatically deducted from your checking or savings account 13-15 days after your bill date.

You will still receive a statement each month showing the amount that you owe. If you believe there is a problem with your bill, you’ll have 10 days from the billing date to resolve any discrepancies. If you believe everything is okay, you need do nothing more – your account will automatically be debited 13-15 days from your bill date. It’s that easy. Your next month’s bill will reflect your payment, just as if you paid by check. Your monthly bank statement will also show the amount deducted from your account and paid to us.

Western Union

Take advantage of payment agencies near your home or business. Now you can pay during weekends and evenings.

Visit www.westernunion.com and click on ‘Find Locations’ on the upper tool bar. Fees may apply.

Payment APP – WU also offers a convenient payment application for your smart phone. Simply download the application and you can pay as you go.

Budget Payment Plan

If you are a Residential Service or General Service customer, and your account is in good standing, you qualify for our Budget Payment Plan that will spread out your winter heating bills. The enrollment period for the upcoming winter begins in June of each year. Beginning each September and ending in May, you can pay your winter natural gas heating bills in monthly installments. Your monthly payments will be based on the past consumption history at your service address. If needed, we may adjust your payment amount during the heating season. In June when you receive your regular monthly bill, you will either receive a bill for any additional amount owed or a credit for any overpayment. Please note that all monthly payments under this plan must be made by the scheduled due dates. For additional information or to sign up for the Budget Payment Plan, please call your nearest Chesapeake office.

Alternate Payment Options

If you are experiencing difficulty in paying your gas bill, please give us a call. Our Customer Service Representatives may be able to assist you with setting up a payment plan, or locating energy assistance or budgeting programs that may be available.

Seasonal Billing Address

If you plan to be away from your service address for an extended period of time, you may have your billing address temporarily changed. Simply notify us before your departure to have your natural gas bill forwarded; then contact your nearest Chesapeake office before you return.
