gas companies for Winter Hill

I am planning to move into an apartment in Winter Hill, and I'm really looking forward to being so close to Davis. The place has gas heat, which we have to pay for. NStar says they provide both gas and electric service in Somerville, but it would only set up electric service for me at the new address.

NStar says they don't have time to respond to phone calls because they are so busy dealing with winter storms, so I don't know if they only provide gas service to West Somerville, and there's some other company that does Winter Hill. Or if they just can't imagine me as a gas customer, after so many years of only buying electricity from them. Or if there is actually a problem with the building I'm about to move into.

Any ideas?

I send two separate checks (well, these days I send two separate electronic payments via my bank's website), but the bills arrive together in the same envelope.

My bills come in two separate envelopes, and same for many of my friends. Has yours always come that way, or did you do something (call NStar, ?, ) to make it happen?

The two bills have been coming in the same envelope for years, and have the same due date. (Just got another one in this morning's mail.) I think it's been this way ever since Boston Edison merged with Com Gas to form NStar. I don't remember doing anything special to make this happen.

There's just one return envelope, addressed to a PO box in Dallas TX of all places. If i were still mailing checks, I'd send both of them together with the two payment stubs in this one envelope.
