When you enroll in the program, your budget amount is figured from your previous 12 months of use, plus a small percentage to allow for seasonal temperatures. You then will pay this amount for the next 11 months. On the 12th month, a new budget average will be figured from your previous 12 months of use plus any remaining balance will be carried over.

The only time you have to reconcile your account is when you leave CREC’s system, or when you decide you no longer want to participate in the CREC Budget Billing plan.
