The Fixed Monthly Charge and Base Energy Charge permit Heritage Gas to recover the cost of delivering natural gas to residents or businesses. These costs include the cost of building, operating, and maintaining the system. The components are regulated by the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board (NSUARB).

The Gas Cost Recovery Rate permits Heritage Gas to recover the cost of acquiring gas supply for customers. This is a "pass through" charge meaning there is no additional mark up applied by Heritage Gas. The cost Heritage Gas pays for the commodity is what is charged to customers. This portion is reviewed monthly and adjusted to reflect current market prices for natural gas.
