Rates are still low so shop now to lock in a long term rate for 2 yeas!<\/em><\/center><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to high <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/todayinenergy\/detail.php?id=61044\">natural gas storage<\/a> numbers and some other factors, natural gas prices are still cheap in Georgia. In other words, it\u2019s a smart move to lock-in a low natural gas rate for the long-term. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/natural-gas-rates\/georgia\/augusta\">Augusta<\/a>, there are four plans with cheap rates and 24-month terms that set you up for 2 years of savings. So, let\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/deals\">compare natural gas<\/a> plans and get ready to lock in cheap 2 year rates now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>2 Cheap 2 Year Plans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are two plans with some long-term savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/companies\/gas-south\">Gas South<\/a> Fixed 24-Month<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>$0.690 per therm<\/li><li>$6.95-$9.95 monthly charge<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This plan is the most expensive 24-month plan in Augusta. But, <strong>Gas South<\/strong> does offer a $5 bill credit for the first 10 months. However, the average monthly bill for this plan, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/psc.ga.gov\/site\/assets\/files\/7831\/december_2023_fixed_pricing.pdf\">Georgia Public Service Commission<\/a>, is $111.21. That makes the $5 bill credit about a 4.5% discount. On the other hand, the provider doesn\u2019t require a deposit. That can save you up to $150 up-front which is more than a typical month&#8217;s bill.  \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/companies\/georgia-natural-gas\">Georgia Natural Gas\u00ae<\/a> 24-Month Fixed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>$0.659 per therm<\/li><li>$6.99-$9.99 monthly charge<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to the <strong>Gas South<\/strong> plan, this plan saves you 4.5% on your natural gas <em>per therm<\/em> price. However, PSC data shows the typical monthly bill is $120.52. That&#8217;s 8% more expensive than the plan above. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>The Provider Packing a Punch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/companies\/constellation\">Constellation<\/a> <\/strong>offers two 24-month plans that are both cheaper than the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Constellation 24 Month Home Natural Gas Plan +PowerPlug<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>$0.629 per therm<\/li><li>$12.95 monthly charge<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With this plan, you get the option of adding PowerPlugs to your home. These are smart outlets that you can control via your home&#8217;s WiFi. Through the Constellation app, you can set timers or control electronics away from home. Be aware that the monthly charge on this plan is significantly higher than other plans. Additionally, although the PSC does not provide data on this plan specifically. But, using their calculations, we estimate the monthly bill for this plan to be about $117.46.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Constellation 24 Month Home Natural Gas Plan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>$0.599 per therm<\/li><li>$7.95 monthly charge<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This plan has the cheapest rate of any 24-month plans currently available in Augusta. Furthermore, the PSC lists the average monthly bill on this plan is $102.88! These savings outweigh any incentives other plans provide. That is why the <strong>Constellation 24-Month Home Natural Gas Plan<\/strong> is my pick of the cheap 24-month plans!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>What Happens If I Need to Switch?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If a long-term commitment feels intimidating, then you need to know about early termination fees. The early termination fee (ETF) for each of these plans is $150, except for <strong>Georgia Natural Gas\u00ae<\/strong>. This provider uses a sliding scale starting at $200 and dropping by $50 every 6 months. So, if you cancel in the last 6 months, you pay $50. Needing or wanting to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/resources\/how-to-switch-your-georgia-natural-gas-provider\">switch natural gas providers<\/a> is a possibility you may want to account for. In that case, <strong>Georgia Natural Gas\u00ae<\/strong> could save you some money. However, keep in mind that if you move out of the service area, you don\u2019t have to pay an ETF. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two year plans are not for everyone. Remember that you have the right to chose the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/best\">best natural gas provider<\/a> in Georgia for your needs. So be sure to check out shorter length plans and other option.
