Depends on the utility and on the offer. Our equalized billing is good for eleven months, then the account is zeroed in the twelfth. The billing year starts in September; we normally hit April owing quite a bit (as that's our cold period and we have forced-air electric heat) and end up about $50 ahead in August (taken off our September bill). With this setup, they are actually lending me money interest free.

The important thing is to read every offer carefully to see if it works for you.
