\"Yes,
Whether you\u2019re moving across town or across the state, there\u2019s an easy way to keep your natural gas service from making your move any more expensive! <\/em><\/center><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Which Atlanta Natural Gas Plan Is The Best For Movers?<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s always smart to try and save money on natural gas<\/strong><\/a>, and one problem area that many people run into is what to do when they move. Most natural gas plans in the Atlanta Gas & Light service area<\/strong><\/a> last for 12 months or longer. Fantastic if you\u2019ll be staying put, but if you\u2019re planning to move they might not be right for you. Why lock yourself into a 12-month contract when you\u2019ll be leaving in 6 months? Students, especially, find themselves asking this question, and it can be difficult to decide what the best option is.<\/p>\n

Should I Choose A Short Term Natural Gas Plan?<\/h3>\n

While most natural gas plans are available for a year or more, there are a few that can be found for 6 months. Atlanta residents can currently choose the Infinite Energy 6 Month Plan<\/strong><\/a>, which costs $0.589 per therm, with a recurring monthly service charge of $5.95. However, this high cost per therm means that the total cost of your natural gas bill<\/strong><\/a> is likely to be higher than it would otherwise be in a 12-month plan.<\/p>\n

What Other Options Do I Have?<\/h3>\n

The best alternative to the Infinite Energy 6 Month Plan <\/strong>is the Constellation 12 Month Metro Home Plan<\/strong><\/a>. While you\u2019ll still be charged $5.95 every month as a service fee, your cost per therm drops to $0.399; almost the best available on the market. You\u2019re saving 19 cents per therm, which can add up to a significant amount – a busy household can use 60 therms per month on average, though of course, you can cut down on your monthly natural gas usage.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Early Cancellation Fees\u2014What Happens When I Move?<\/h3>\n

The problem with choosing a natural gas plan that lasts for longer than you\u2019ll be in the property is the question of what happens when you move. If you choose to switch natural gas providers<\/strong><\/a>, you will most likely be liable for an early cancellation fee – Constellation <\/strong>charges $150 for this. However, under Georgia law, consumers are allowed to continue their contracts with their natural gas supplier\u00a0in Georgia<\/a> at a new address as long as it\u2019s within the Atlanta Gas & Light <\/strong>service area. In addition, if you move to a location where your natural gas provider does not offer a service you also won\u2019t be charged. If you know you\u2019ll be leaving the state in 6 months time then go ahead and take out a longer fixed term contract; you won\u2019t be charged an early termination fee when it\u2019s time to cancel.<\/p>\n

Why Not Choose A Long Fixed Rate Natural Gas Deal?<\/h3>\n

While a 6-month plan is more expensive, it does give you a degree of freedom which is great if you\u2019re not ready to commit. It lets you switch with no fee at the end of the term and that\u2019s invaluable if prices begin to drop. However, if you\u2019re going to be moving, then the plan by\u00a0Constellation<\/strong> offers a significantly better deal!
