But what about now? Can you still land great short term gas rates in summer? Or are you forced to take up a month-to-month variable rate to plug the gap?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Absolutely not! Remember, your plans don\u2019t have to match up exactly with the months you need covered. You can still land great\u00a0short term Augusta\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/natural-gas-rates\">natural gas<\/a>\u00a0rates in the meantime. You just have to get <em>creative<\/em>. So, let\u2019s create the right short term strategy for you to get fixed until fall!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Compare Gas Rates &#8212;\u00a0<\/b><strong>The Risky Option<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re up for a challenge, you could cobble together 3 months of coverage from the bargain intro rate offers available.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start with one month on the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/plans\/gas-south\/details\/acquisition-variable\"><b>Acquisition Variable<\/b><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">from <\/span><b>Gas South<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0. It&#8217;s the cheapest rate on the market at just 29 cents per therm (although add $6.95- $9.95 for the monthly charge). Then, assuming the rate holds, jump onto the 34.9 cents per them discount rate available for two months on the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/plans\/georgia-natural-gas\/details\/market-intro-plan\"><b>Market Intro Plan<\/b><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">from <\/span><b>Georgia Natural Gas\u00ae<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0&#8211; although this is only for new <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">customers. The monthly charge is $4.99 &#8211; $9.99, but importantly: there is no early termination fee. So if you find a better plan come fall, you can jump right off.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But you\u2019ll have to be vigilant to benefit from these bargain rates. Overstaying the intro period on these plans will see you rolled onto the provider\u2019s variable rate. This can be over a dollar and a half per therm!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>The Safer Bets<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t want all that hassle, you\u2019re in luck. You can enjoy great short term gas rates by finding a longer term plan, and simply jumping off it when fall arrives. Just make sure you find a nice low termination fee.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To that end, a great option would be the <b><strong>Georgia Natural Gas\u00ae<\/strong><\/b><\/span><b>\u00a0<\/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. The competitively priced 55.9 cents per therm rate beats other short term plans. And the $4.99-$7.99 monthly charge is also relatively low. But here\u2019s the kicker: you can terminate this plan whenever you want for just $50!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alternatively, there\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/plans\/xoom-energy\/details\/surelock-12\"><b>SureLock 12<\/b><\/a>\u00a0from <strong>XOOM Energy<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: 39.9 cents per therm is a remarkable rate for any time of year, and the $5.85 monthly recurring charge is also reasonable. Early termination is pricier at $100 &#8211; but this is still at the low end. Moreover, if fall doesn\u2019t bring the discounts you\u2019d hoped for, you can hang onto this great rate all year!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How to Shop Best Augusta Natural Gas Rates<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, Augusta natural gas customers, be smart over the next few months!
