Welcome Former Columbia Gas Customers
Here's what has changed with your online account, bill and more. Please select the Eastern or Western Massachusetts region for more detailed information.
Your account number and printed bill
You will see a new 11-digit account number on the top left of your April billing statement. The new bill will provide information about your natural gas account in an easy-to-read, full-color format.
Managing your account online
You will now pay online, go paperless, update your preferences and more here at Eversource.com.
When you log in for the first time, you will automatically be prompted to create a new password and accept the terms of the Eversource privacy policy. You will then get an email with instructions and be able to log in with your email address and new password.
If you already have an Eversource.com online account with the same email as your former Columbia Gas login, simply log in with your current ID and password to access all of your accounts.
Paying your bill and seeing your history
When you go to pay your bill online, you may see that the page says "This account does not have any active bills."
This is because a bill has not been issued under your new Eversource account number yet, but you can still pay your current bill when you click the "Make a Payment" button.
You won't be able to select the payment date until your first Eversource bill is issued, the payment will be effective the day it is made or the next business day. There won't be any late fees or disconnects.
If you want to see past bills under your old Columbia Gas account, you can do that by visiting Account History.
Select the "Legacy" account number in the first dropdown and click "Apply Filters."

AutoPay
The option to have your payment deducted on your bill's due date is no longer available.
You can choose to have your payment deducted when your bill arrives, or between four and 10 days prior to your bill's due date.
If your payment is currently made on the due date, your payment will automatically default to being paid five days prior to the due date unless you select another option.

Budget Billing (formerly called Budget Plan)
If you were enrolled in the Budget Plan, your Budget Billing year will restart in April 2022 and will be reviewed in September 2022 to ensure your monthly payment amount is still appropriate.
A reconciliation will occur in April 2023, just prior to the start of the next budget period.
If, as of March 28, your account had a credit amount from your current Budget Plan, it will be automatically applied to your bill. If your account has a Budget Plan balance, it will be factored into your next budget reconciliation in April 2023.

Credit card fees
The third-party vendor used to process online debit and credit card payments is now SpeedPay.
Their processing fee for online bill payments via credit or debit card is $2.50 per transaction for residential customers and $11.95 per transaction for commercial customers. This is an increase in fee from the previous vendor.
Customer service hours
Starting March 20, for billing or other routine questions, our representatives will be available Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. at 800-688-6160.
When you call, listen to the menus carefully as the options have changed.
