Short Term Gas Plan for Your Move
If you are one of millions of movers this summer, you could be in for some short term gas plan shopping. Maybe you want to avoid a long-term contract while in the process of moving. On the other hand, waiting for more favorable rates during the fall shoulder month could be your motivation. Alternatively, your plans could still be up in the air. Whatever your reason, let’s sort through the best short term Georgia gas rates for movers.
Intro Rate Gas Plans for Short Term Shoppers
For customers who want a short term plan during their move, we have the best options ready to go. These plans are all variable rates, meaning there is no contract and no termination fee. However, the rate changes each month.
Firstly it’s the Gas South Intro Variable plan. The intro rate is $0.390 per therm and lasts one month before switching to the provider’s standard variable rate (SVR). Their current SVR is $1.95 per therm, according to the PSC. The monthly recurring charge is $6.95-$9.95. You don’t pay a deposit with the plan, keeping up to $150 in your pocket. Also enjoy a $20 bill credit.
Next is the Scana Energy Introductory Variable Rate plan. The intro rate is $0.399 for the first month then switches to the provider’s SVR. Their current SVR is $1.999 per therm, according to the PSC. The monthly charge is $5.95. Get up to $100 in bill credits if you stick around for 20 months.
There is also the Georgia Natural Gas® Market Intro plan. The intro rate is $0.399, but lasts for two months before switching to the SVR for the provider. Their current SVR is $2.289 per therm, according to the PSC. The monthly charge is also waived for the first two months and they will pay fixed contract exit fees up to $200.
More Variable Plan Options
In addition to the intro plans above, there are two more variable rate plans available.
First up is the Georgia Natural Gas® Variable Select plan at $2.309 per therm. The monthly charge is $3.99-$6.99. Pay on time each month and your variable rate has a $0.25 discount for 12 months. The provider will also pay fixed contract exit fees up to $200.
Finally, it’s the Georgia Natural Gas® Pre-Pay plan at $2.139 per therm. The monthly charge is $8.99. This plan can be helpful for those looking to build credit. You don’t need a deposit, but you pay for the expected amount of gas you will use at the beginning of the month. The difference is factored into your next bill. Pay on-time and you have a $0.15 per therm discount. You also earn a $3 bill credit per month after 6 months of timely payments. After 12 months, you may qualify for lower rates with a fixed rate plan. Get started with $40 bill credit.
Why Short Term Works for Movers
Summer moving season coincides with a high demand for natural gas to make electricity. Therefore, it does not tend to be a great time to lock down a cheap long term rate. And though per therm rates may be high in summer, your natural gas use tends to be a lot lower than winter. But again, the best part is that there’s not contract. So, variable plans can offer a path to shop for a natural gas provider that you like while you wait for cheaper rates in fall shoulder months.
