Can a payment be made on a rotary or pulse phone?
Sorry, no. The system requires a touch-tone phone. If you don't have a touch-tone phone, you can pay online, or call us at 866-556-6004 to speak to a customer service representative. They can then transfer you to a BillMatrix agent to take your payment over the phone.

Can I make a payment on behalf of a friend or relative?
You can make a payment on behalf of another person only if their account is associated with your online profile. You can make a payment over the phone by calling 866-556-6004.

Can I be charged for non-sufficient funds (NSF)?
Yes. The same rules apply to checking account payments as a regular check. In fact, if you had a NSF with North Shore Gas in the past 12 months, and you want to pay online, you will only be allowed to pay by credit card.

Can I pay more than the amount due on my bill?
Yes, you can pay more than the amount due. This would result in a credit on your next bill. An example of where you might want to do so, is if you plan to be out of town for a couple of months and won't be able to make your payments.
