When Are the Natural Gas Shoulder Months for Georgia?<\/h2>\n

We believe that informed consumers make the best decisions about new natural gas deals<\/a> . That\u2019s why we want to answer the question; \u201dwhat are shoulder months\u201d, and why should you care about them? Well, they can help you save money, that\u2019s why! Read on to find out more.<\/p>\n

Natural Gas Usage In Winter<\/h3>\n

The usage of natural gas in Georgia<\/a> doesn\u2019t stay constant all year round. It changes depending on the seasons. During the winter, when everyone turns on their heating, the price of natural gas goes up. Natural gas providers know this, and before winter they typically put a lot of gas into storage so they can cope with demand when the weather gets colder.<\/p>\n

Usage Of Natural Gas In Summer<\/h3>\n

Similarly, when everyone runs their air conditioning during summer, a lot of natural gas is used to drive electrical generators. Summer usage has historically not been as high as during winter, but this has changed in the last few years. The effect of the summer powerburn<\/a> has increased recently because much more electricity is produced in natural gas plants, rather than through burning coal or oil. This means that summer and winter are both peak natural gas usage times.<\/p>\n

What Does This Mean For My Home and Family?<\/h3>\n

Because demand peaks twice during the year, so does the price of natural gas. It\u2019s always a wise idea to avoid buying a fixed term natural gas deal during winter or summer, because this is when the price of gas is at its highest. Instead, you should aim to buy during the \u201cshoulders\u201d of each peak; September – October and May – June. The summer peak period has just finished and the market price of natural gas<\/a> is expected to fall in the near future. If you\u2019re looking to find a great fixed rate natural gas deal in Georgia<\/a> , now is the time to do it.<\/p>\n

Should I Switch My Natural Gas Provider?<\/h3>\n

You can always switch your natural gas provider<\/a>, but you might need to pay a fee to do so. Many fixed term natural gas deals come with an early termination fee; if you sign up to a 12 month contract and leave it early, you can be charged as much as $150. Bear this in mind when deciding if it\u2019s cheaper to sign up to a new deal or not.<\/p>\n
