But with so many variables, how can you be sure you\u2019re really landing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/natural-gas-rates\">cheapest deal?<\/a> Well, savvy shoppers will already know that \u201ccheap\u201d isn&#8217;t limited to price alone! So to help you work out your best bets, we\u2019re going to compare the three cheapest plans in the \u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/resources\/understanding-your-natural-gas-bill\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Atlanta Gas Light (AGL)<\/span><\/a>\u00a0service area<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. They&#8217;re all cheap &#8211; but for remarkably different reasons. We&#8217;ll show you why.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Comparing the Best Gas Plans in Augusta\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Considering rates alone, the cheapest two plans come from <\/span><b>Gas South<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>Scana<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><b>Gas South\u2019s <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/plans\/gas-south\/details\/acquisition-variable\"><b>Acquisition Variable<\/b><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">clocks in at 39 cents per therm, with a $6.95 to $9.95 monthly charge and no early termination fee. <\/span><b>Scana\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;\">is similarly priced, with a 39.9 cents per therm rate, a $5.95 monthly charge, and again no penalty for early termination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ve lumped these two plans together because they both illustrate the same important point. Namely, that the cheapest rate available is usually an intro rate. And watch out, these rates come with strings attached! That\u2019s because \u2018intro rates\u2019 are usually one-off giveaways. Providers will usually roll you onto their variable rate plan once the month is up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, this isn\u2019t always a bad thing. Intro rates can be useful aces to have up your sleeve. For example, they make for a fantastically cheap stop-gap solution for customers who are between plans. But handle them with care. That\u2019s because the variable rate you&#8217;ll be put on is often eye-wateringly steep. In the case of\u00a0<\/span><b>Gas South<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, for example, it&#8217;s currently $1.69 per therm! Any longer than one month on these plans, and they\u2019ll swiftly become the priciest option on the market.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Cheapest Augusta Gas Plans for Long Term Customers<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In contrast, let\u2019s look at the third cheapest Augusta energy plan: <\/span><b>XOOM Energy\u2019s<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/plans\/xoom-energy\/details\/surelock-12\"><b>SureLock 12<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It\u2019s a useful example. Because, sure, the rate is a shade pricier at 49.9 cents per therm rate. But it\u2019ll be the cheaper option for longer-term customers. Here\u2019s why.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>XOOM\u2019s <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">49.9 cents per therm rate is fixed for 12 months. This means that during seasonal price hikes, when variable rates will soar, this rate will remain stable. Moreover, it&#8217;ll shield you from the general upwards trend in energy rates for the 12 month term. There&#8217;s the $5.85 monthly charge to factor in, plus a $100 early termination fee to consider. But, it&#8217;s still substantially cheaper if you\u2019re in it for the long haul.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Shop Cheapest Natural Gas in Augusta Now!<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you can see, there&#8217;s an important difference between the three cheapest Augusta rates. Short-term customers might prefer an intro rate with <\/span><b>Gas South<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><b>Scana<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. But long-term customers will find\u00a0<\/span><b>XOOM&#8217;s\u00a0<\/b>the cheapest gas plan<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. So consider your priorities before you shop.
