National Grid is proposing to hike average residential gas bills by $28.52 next year, citing increased costs for materials, contractors and property taxes. The increase would raise total residential heating bills for gas by just over 16% beginning next April. Customers who use gas primarily for non-heating purposes such as cooking would see a $15.41 monthly increase, or 24.8%. For commercial heating customers the average bill would increase by $70.55 a month, or 10.8%. Multi-family accounts would see an average monthly increase of $300.
