The precarious Covid economy continues. Winter energy rates are still high. And the spending dust is still settling from the holiday season. Maybe things are feeling too unsteady &#8211; or too stressful &#8211; to commit to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/natural-gas-rates\">long-term natural gas plan<\/a> right now.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, we\u2019ve got good news for Macon natural gas customers! There&#8217;s plenty of great value choices that&#8217;ll help you to lock in the best short term gas plan for you. Let\u2019s take a look.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Shop Best Month-to-Month Gas Plans<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Month-to-month plans for Macon customers operate on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/resources\/what-is-a-variable-rate-plan\">variable rate<\/a>\u00a0&#8211; so the price you&#8217;re paying per therm can change each month. This is risky, because whilst the National Weather Service is predicting a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov\/products\/predictions\/WK34\/\">warmer than average winter<\/a> this year, it&#8217;s still possible we&#8217;ll get surprise weather events. Variable rates don&#8217;t insulate you from sudden price spikes, and they&#8217;re likely to work out more expensive in the long term.<\/p>\n<p>However, month-to-month plans provide unrivaled flexibility. And some providers offer plunging discounts on their introductory plans. So if you&#8217;re looking for a short, sweet stopgap, a month-to-month plan could be an easy money-saver.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/plans\/gas-south\/details\/bridgeplan-variable\"><b>BridgePlan Variable from Gas South<\/b><\/a><b>\u00a0<\/b>comes with a<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0$1.470\/therm rate, and a monthly recurring charge of up to $9.95. This makes it the priciest of the month-to-month plans. And, should you want to switch, you&#8217;ll need to shell out a steep $150. Whilst the\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/plans\/infinite-energy\/details\/standard-variable\"><b>Standard Variable Plan from Infinite Energy<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> carries no such early termination fee, its $1.389\/therm rate is still comparably costly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Instead, consider the\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/plans\/scana-energy\/details\/introductory-variable-rate\">SCANA Introductory Variable Rate.<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0This\u00a0offers an unrivaled discount rate of $0.289\/therm for the first month. The price of course rises steeply after this intro period &#8211; but if you switch in time, it&#8217;s a great one-month quick-fix.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Shop Fixed Rate Gas Plans<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>The other option for Macon customers is a fixed rate plan. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/resources\/what-is-a-fixed-rate-plan\"> Fixed rates<\/a> allow you to lock in a consistent dollar per therm rate over several months. You\u2019ll shore yourself up against unexpected and costly price spikes and billing surprises. And, here&#8217;s the cherry on top &#8211; some of these work out even cheaper than the month-to-month plans!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Firstly, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/plans\/georgia-natural-gas\/details\/market-intro-plan\"><b>Market Intro Plan from Georgia Natural Gas\u00ae<\/b><\/a><b>. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a two month fixed plan, at a remarkable discounted rate of $0.299\/therm.\u00a0 Note that this is as money-saving as the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/plans\/scana-energy\/details\/introductory-variable-rate\">SCANA Introductory Variable Rate<\/a>, <\/strong>but you get it for twice as long! Watch out though, because the rate hikes again after the two month term.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/plans\/gas-south\/details\/fixed-6-month\"><b>Fixed Six Month from Gas South<\/b><\/a>\u00a0at $0.590\/therm is a moderately priced plan, requiring no deposit. T<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/plans\/infinite-energy\/details\/6-mo-fixed\"><b>Six Mo Fixed plan from Infinite Energy<\/b><\/a>\u00a0is slightly cheaper, at $0.479\/therm.<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0But these plans share a $150 early termination fee &#8211; so watch out if you&#8217;re looking for flexibility.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Best of the bunch is the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/plans\/georgia-natural-gas\/details\/6-month-fixed\"><b>6 Month Fixed from Georgia Natural Gas\u00ae<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. At a discounted $0.449\/therm, it\u2019s the cheapest non-introductory plan but sign up by February 2nd to lock it in! Plus, they&#8217;ll credit you up to $150 for exit fees from your current plan. And its exit fee, in turn, is a relative bargain at $50. So it helps you stay flexible, whilst enjoying reliably low therm rates and the security of a fixed plan.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Where to Lock in Best Gas Rates<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It couldn&#8217;t be easier for Macon customers to lock in a great value short term gas plan for the winter months ahead and longer.
