This plan can help spread heating costs through the year instead of leaving one larger winter bill. Equal payment budget plans start annually in September. Mercer Fuels estimates your fuel costs for the year and divides them into 10 equal monthly payments. Your credit card or bank account on file is charged from September to June. If there is a balance owing after the 10 months, we will contact you to make arrangements. If there is a credit, we can apply it to the next year's plan. Sign up for an equal payment budget plan
