With all the excitement of your new digs, watch out! Unless you\u2019re vigilant about your energy strategy going into summer, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/resources\/understanding-your-natural-gas-bill\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Atlanta Gas Light (AGL)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> customers could accidentally walk into a costly and unpredictable plan. This could do real long-term damage to your wallet because <a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/resources\/when-is-the-best-time-to-switch-georgia-gas-providers\">summer gas rates<\/a> tend to be higher. So here are some concrete short, medium, and long term <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">solutions to help you shop and save on natural gas.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Short Term Natural Gas Solutions<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>First off, fit your energy plans around your move. Check in advance when your current plan ends, and when you\u2019ll be ready to get a new fixed contract in place. If you might have a shortfall in between &#8211; no sweat! Solve energy gaps like this with a monthly rolling plan. Many incentivise customers with ludicrous bargain rates for the first month, then jack up rates afterwards. But you can easily jump off the plan when the intro rate ends! Bag yourself some budget energy, and some breathing room, whilst you get your new home in order.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We recommend: <\/span><b>SCANA Energy\u2019s <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/plans\/scana-energy\/details\/introductory-variable-rate\"><b>Introductory Variable Rate<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It offers a 39.9 cents per therm discounted rate for one month, with no contract, no early termination fee, and just $5.95 in monthly charges. Plus, they\u2019re well rated by our customers.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Medium-Term Moving Tips<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So you\u2019ve got your breathing room. What next? Well, A) we\u2019re headed into Summer, and B) it\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov\/products\/predictions\/long_range\/fxus05.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">forecast to be especially warm<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Both these things are likely to mean higher seasonal prices, and a higher chance of unpredictable and costly price spikes. This means you\u2019ll want to avoid a variable plan this Summer like the plague. Instead, find a good fixed rate medium-term deal. This will keep you insulated from spikes and, if you want a long term contract, it\u2019ll tide you over \u2018til Summer prices settle back down.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We recommend: <\/span><b>Georgia Natural Gas\u00ae<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/plans\/georgia-natural-gas\/details\/6-month-fixed\"><b>6-Month Fixed<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> plan. 49.9 cents per therm is a good rate, and the low $50 early termination fee offers you relative flexibility for jumping ship in late Fall.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Long-Term Planning<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the golden goose for Atlanta movers: a bargain rate on a long term plan that\u2019ll lock in a cheap 2021 rate for months, or even years, ahead! Cheap long-term rates are likely to be more abundant in the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/blog\/watch-for-shoulder-month-natural-gas-pricing\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fall shoulder months<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. So again, tide yourself over until then with a 6 month plan, and consider the kind of bonuses you\u2019ll want from your long-term contract.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We recommend: looking at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/companies\/constellation\"><b>Constellation <\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; their 90 day risk-free guarantee means you can trial a plan and change your mind in the first months without incurring an exit fee. Plus, they often roll in additional utility protections, either for free, or for an additional monthly cost.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Planning Smart for your Atlanta Move<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In conclusion: shop in advance, take advantage of discounts and key incentives like major appliance protections, don\u2019t be afraid of breaking contract or combining plans, and avoid a summer variable rate plan at all costs!
