Should I Lock in an 18 Month Gas Plan Now?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Cold weather is closing in, prices are rising sharply, and Augusta <\/span>Atlanta Gas Light (AGL)<\/span><\/a> customers need to lock in a fixed rate plan ASAP! But what\u2019s the smartest option with\u00a0<\/span>long term fixed rates<\/span><\/a>? Is there really any difference between 12, 18, and 24 month gas plans? Well, we’re here to help you crack this nut!<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s just one 18 month plan available to Augusta gas customers: the\u00a0<\/span>Georgia Natural Gas\u00ae<\/b>18 Month Fixed with $100 Bill Credit<\/b><\/a>. <\/b>At 67.9 cents per therm, with a $6.99 – $9.99 monthly charge, and a $50 – $150 early termination fee, it\u2019s comfortably middle-of-the-road. But with 12 and 24 month options out there too, is this\u00a0<\/span>18 month plan<\/span><\/a> the right one for you? Let\u2019s break it down!<\/span><\/p>\n

Plan Comparison for 18 Month Gas<\/b><\/h3>\n

18 Month Gas vs 12 Month Gas<\/b><\/h4>\n

As a rule of thumb, 18 month plans usually offer lower rates than <\/span>12 month plans<\/span><\/a>. After all, providers want to hook you for as long as possible! But the Augusta market bucks this trend. That\u2019s because you can shop <\/span>XOOM Energy\u2019s <\/b>dependably market-busting 12 month rates. Their <\/span>SureLock 12<\/b><\/a> and <\/span>RescueLock 12<\/b><\/a> plans beat the Georgia Natural Gas\u00ae<\/strong><\/span>\u00a018 month rate by upwards of 6 cents per therm. And with prices unseasonably high this winter, every little counts!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Nevertheless, low rates aren\u2019t the only way providers will tempt you onto longer term options. And this brings us to our next point of comparison: 18 month plans can offer juicy incentives that aren\u2019t available on 12 month deals. Case in point: <\/span>the Georgia Natural Gas\u00ae<\/strong><\/b> 18 Month Fixed with $100 Bill Credit<\/b><\/a> will give you $100 off your first month\u2019s bill. That\u2019s something <\/span>XOOM\u2019s<\/b> 12 month plans don\u2019t offer. And that $100 discount is nothing to sniff at, with Thanksgiving just around the bend!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

18 Month Gas vs 24 Month Gas<\/b><\/h4>\n

But how does our 18 month gas plan compare with longer term options? Well, in one way, the story\u2019s much the same: a longer term plan usually means a <\/span>cheaper rate<\/span><\/a>. And again, this might be your top priority as winter approaches. To that end, see how both <\/span>Constellation<\/b><\/a> and <\/span>Georgia Natural Gas\u00ae<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>offer lower 24-month rates than <\/span>the<\/strong> Georgia Natural Gas\u00ae\u00a0<\/strong><\/b><\/span>8-month option.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, remember that longer term plans usually charge a higher early termination fee. So if you\u2019re looking to shop around come spring, an 18 month plan will provide a cheaper escape route than your <\/span>24 month options<\/span><\/a>. Our trusty 18 month Georgia Natural Gas\u00ae<\/strong><\/b><\/span>\u00a0plan, for example, charges just $50-$150 for early exit. But your 24 month alternatives span $100 – $200 if you want to duck out within 18 months.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, if you\u2019re looking for a good balance between <\/span>cheap rates<\/span><\/a> and low exit fees,\u00a0<\/span>an 18 month plan is a good Goldilocks solution. Sure, you won\u2019t get the cheapest rates, but you won\u2019t get the priciest exit fees either. <\/span>The\u00a0Georgia Natural Gas\u00ae<\/strong><\/b> 18 Month Fixed with $100 Bill Credit<\/b><\/a> plan offers a relatively cheap rate, a competitive exit fee, and a nice $100 discount that\u2019ll make a sizeable dent in your seasonal bills.
