Where You Save Most on SoCalGas

Renters in Southern California often assume they have no control over their natural gas costs, but even small changes and the right rate plan can significantly reduce a SoCalGas bill.

As a renter, you may not be able to upgrade your furnace or insulate your walls, but you still have options. SoCalGas charges are based on how much gas you use and which rate plan you are on, both of which you can influence. Bill Savior reviews your SoCalGas bill to find savings opportunities that renters frequently overlook, from discount program enrollment to rate plan adjustments.

Why Renters Pay More on SoCalGas Than They Should

Many renters are placed on default SoCalGas rate plans that do not match their actual usage. Because renters typically do not choose their heating systems, they may be using an old, inefficient furnace that drives up gas consumption — but they still benefit from switching to a lower-cost rate plan. Additionally, renters often assume CARE and FERA are only for homeowners, when in fact these programs are available to any qualifying household regardless of whether you own or rent.

Renter-Friendly SoCalGas Savings Tips

Seal air leaks around windows and doors with weatherstripping — this is inexpensive and reduces the gas your furnace needs to maintain temperature.

Use a programmable or smart thermostat even in a rental to avoid heating an empty apartment during the day.

Ask your landlord about SoCalGas rebates for furnace or water heater upgrades — the utility often covers part of the cost for property owners.

Track your monthly therms on the SoCalGas app to see exactly when and how your usage spikes, giving you data to negotiate a better rate.
