There are many British Gas billing options available to you if you are one of their gas or electricity customers in the UK.

The traditional billing option offered by British Gas is the standard paper bill. Having undergone major revision in recent years the British Gas paper bill shows you a wealth of information including: -

• your recent meter readings and whether these were read by the meter reader or estimates
• the gas or electricity you have used in the last period
• the total cost to you net of any discounts
• any recent payments you have made

In addition the British Gas bill is a good source of other information such as what you do if you have a complaint, who to contact in an emergency and your gas or electricity supply and meter numbers. You will need the latter and your customer number if you need to telephone the British Gas Billing team to discuss you account.

Moving into the modern era there is a British Gas paperless billing option. In addition to the obvious environmental benefits of having no paper (if you optionally end the paper bill) and trees cut down there are other benefits of a paperless bill.

When your British Gas billing is run online you will be able to access your previous statements online, no looking for a lost bill. Also you will be able to submit your meter readings online ensuring that estimated bills are a thing of the past and you only pay for the gas or electricity you consume.
