How Does Gas Work in Germany?
Wie funktioniert Gas? / Almanya'da gaz nasıl çalışır?
In Germany, Erdgas (natural gas) is commonly used for heating and hot water. Like electricity, you can choose your own provider from over 900 gas suppliers.
The default local provider (Grundversorger) is usually 30-50% more expensive. By comparing and switching, you can save €300-800 per year on heating costs.

Common Questions About GasHäufige Fragen / Sık Sorulan Sorular
Is gas included in my rent (Nebenkosten)?
It depends on your rental contract. Warmmiete includes heating costs, but you may still pay extra based on actual usage. Kaltmiete means you pay for gas separately. Check your contract or ask your landlord.
Can I choose my own gas provider as a renter?
Only if you have your own gas meter (Gaszähler) and contract. In apartments with central heating (Zentralheizung), the landlord chooses the provider and includes costs in Nebenkosten.
What is Biogas/Ökogas?
Biogas is made from organic waste and is more environmentally friendly. Many providers offer Ökogas tariffs that are only slightly more expensive than regular gas. Our comparison tool shows both options.
Why are gas prices different in 2025?
After the 2022 energy crisis, prices have stabilized. The government's Gaspreisbremse (gas price cap) helped, and market prices have dropped. 2025 is a good time to compare rates and lock in better prices.
