The cheapest of these is the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/psc.ga.gov\/site\/assets\/files\/5438\/july_2020_fixed_pricing.pdf\"><b>Georgia Natural Gas\u00ae 6 Months Fixed Plan<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which will cost $0.439 per therm. Monthly service fees are between $4.99 and $7.99 on this plan, and the early termination fee is $50.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next cheapest is the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/plans\/gas-south\/details\/fixed-6-month\"><b>Gas South Fixed 6 Month<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> deal, with a rate of $0.490. Service charges are between $6.95 and $9.95, with a $150 early termination fee. That makes this plan a more costly option if you choose to leave early.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The final 6 month natural gas deal is the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/plans\/infinite-energy\/details\/6-mo-fixed\"><b>Infinite Energy 6 Month Fixed<\/b><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">plan. This deal will cost you $0.569 per therm, a significant increase on the other two deals. Service fees are $5.95 per month, with an early termination charge of $150. Similar to the <\/span><b>Gas South<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> plan, this contract is expensive to cancel early.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting The Best Deal On Natural Gas<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Georgia PSC estimates a usage of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/resources\/what-is-a-variable-rate-plan\">about 700 therms per year<\/a> for a typical household. That means for every penny you save per therm, you\u2019ll cut your annual bills by $7. You can use this figure to work out whether exiting your contract early is a good deal. For example, if you sign up with the <b>Georgia Natural Gas\u00ae <\/b>contract, with a $50 termination fee, you would need to save at least $0.08 per therm ($56) to make it worth your while. For the other providers, with fees of $150 for early termination, you\u2019ll need to save $0.22 ($154) per therm in order to make it work.<\/p>\n<h3>Keeping Your Natural Gas Bills Low<\/h3>\n<p>In a normal year, we would expect natural gas prices to dip in autumn and \u00a0we would advise consumers to think about switching plans then. However, is not a normal year.\u00a0Natural gas prices are very low already, and the market expects the wholesale price of gas to rise significantly by winter.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, a 6 month natural gas plan is definitely the best deal\u00a0<strong><em>but only<\/em><\/strong> if you&#8217;re planning to move by the end of the year or\u00a0if you just can&#8217;t commit to a longer deal. These 6 month plans are\u00a0certainly cheaper than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/resources\/what-is-a-variable-rate-plan\">variable rate gas plans<\/a>, which can easily cost twice as much per therm, especially in winter when rates can spike.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you are in a position to sign up for a long-term deal right now while prices are unusually low, <em><strong>then do so!<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0With increasing natural gas prices expected by the end of the year, customers may have\u00a0difficulties finding a cheaper deal on natural gas when a 6 month contract ends. You can save far more money by locking in a very long term rate now while rates are so low!
