Although prices on fixed rate plans\u00a0are often cheaper, there are still good reasons to go contract-free. We\u2019ll help you find the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">best natural gas rates in Georgia<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> without locking yourself into a fixed-term contract.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Can I Expect From A No Contract Gas Rate?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fixed rates, as the name suggests, give you a set price per therm. The natural gas provider commits to a certain price, and you commit to buying natural gas for a certain length of time, such as 6, 12, or 24 months. The flip side of this is the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/resources\/what-is-a-variable-rate-plan\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">variable rate natural gas plan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In short, you agree to pay whatever monthly rate your natural gas provider charges, but you are free to sign with another supplier next month. If you see another provider offers a better deal on natural gas, you can switch to them instead with no penalty.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Are The Best Prices For Natural Gas Without A Contract?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/natural-gas-rates\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">no contract natural gas plans in Atlanta<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to choose from. These come from <\/span><b>SCANA Energy <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><b>Infinite Energy<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, two well-established natural gas providers. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/plans\/scana-energy\/details\/introductory-variable-rate\"><b>SCANA Energy Introductory Variable Rate<\/b><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">deal offers a rock-bottom price on natural gas. At a price per therm of just $0.299, it\u2019s cheaper than any other plan (including fixed rate plans). However, that rate is only available for a single month. The rate then automatically goes to the <\/span><b>SCANA Energy <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">standard variable rate, and the price per therm jumps up to $1.31. However, if you\u2019re just looking for a short-term solution, then a month of cheap natural gas could be an excellent option.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a longer-term flexible natural gas solution, Atlanta residents can opt for the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/plans\/infinite-energy\/details\/standard-variable\"><b>Infinite Energy Standard Variable<\/b><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">plan. The price per therm starts out at $1.309, so there\u2019s no cheap introductory period as with the <\/span><b>SCANA Energy <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">plan. However, if you don\u2019t use a lot of natural gas this may not make much difference to you. For instance, a small apartment without a natural gas furnace may <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/blog\/2019\/12\/26\/how-many-therms-does-a-typical-household-use\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">use far less natural gas than the average Atlanta home<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In these circumstances, you may not be that bothered about saving a few bucks.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advantages Of A Contract Free Natural Gas Supply<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The price per therm of these month-to-month natural gas deals is much higher than you\u2019ll find with fixed rate plans. We still recommend picking up a fixed rate natural gas plan as the best way to save money on natural gas. However, there are some very good reasons to pick a variable rate plan as a short term solution.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>When To Choose A No Contract Natural Gas Deal<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Early termination fees on fixed term contracts can easily exceed $100. If you need to break your contract early then you\u2019ll find the savings you made get wiped out. Sometimes it is better to opt for a short stint on a variable rate than it is to sign up to a fixed rate plan and break it. You might also use a variable natural gas rate to push back the date when you renew your fixed term natural gas deal. This can be a smart idea when <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/blog\/2020\/02\/10\/natural-gas-prices-falling-further\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">natural gas discounts are just round the corner<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have a variable natural gas rate, remember that rates tend to go lower in the spring. \u00a0So, make sure to keep an eye on the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">best natural gas prices in Georgia<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
