When do I need a gas provider?
- If you rent (or buy) an apartment or house directly from a landlord
- and your place uses local gas heating. To find out
- ask your landlord
- or check if you have these things on the first photo in your place
You usually don't need a gas contract
- when you sublet an apartment or room, because then your main tenant has already a contract with them.
How to order and pay a gas supplier?
- Find out whether your warm water is heated by gas.
- Estimate your consumption. Typical:
- apartment size 30 m²: 4350 kWh (no water heating) / 4800 kWh (incl. water heating)
- apartment size 50 m²: 7250 kWh (no water heating) / 8000 kWh (incl. water heating)

How do I get billed?
- Based on your consumption estimation, they calculate a monthly prepayment rate for you. Pay that rate now every month.
- After a year (usually), they measure your actual consumption.
- If you used less than your estimation, you will get money back and your monthly prepayment rate will be lowered.
- If you used more than your estimation, you will need to pay the difference and your monthly prepayment rate will be raised.
