\"Georgians
Georgians use most of their natural gas for winter heating. And while variable rates can be low, winter demand makes pricing volatile. Learn now to compare the best fixed rate plans now!<\/em><\/center><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Are you in penny-pinching mode this month? If so, you won\u2019t be thrilled that January is one of the most expensive times for natural gas in Georgia<\/a>. Not only are you using more natural gas to keep warm, rates are going up, too. With higher demand across the country, especially in the north, variable rates will truly skyrocket. But don\u2019t worry, you have options to keep your natural gas bill<\/a> low. First, let\u2019s take a look at how much natural gas you will use in Georgia this month then see how much you can save!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Therm Use in January<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to the Public Service Commission<\/a> (PSC), a typical natural gas customer in Georgia will use about 125 therms this month. This is about 20% of the average annual usage. It is also significantly more than what you are likely to use in warmer months. Keep in mind your actual usage depends on many factors like the size and efficiency of your home. However, to stay warm through cold snaps like what we have felt already this month, there\u2019s no easy way to avoid heating your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, you still have the chance to save money on the gas<\/a> you use!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comparing Natural Gas Plans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To save money on heating your home this month, your smartest move could be to lock in a cheap fixed rate. Let\u2019s compare our best 12 month fixed rate plans with variable rates to see how much you could save.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, we have the Constellation<\/a> 12 Month Home Natural Gas Plan<\/strong> at $0.569 per therm. When you include the PSC estimated base charge of $59.28 and the supplier customer service charge of $6.95, your January natural gas bill is about $137.36. However, with the Constellation<\/strong> standard variable rate (SVR), your bill would be about $177.60. That\u2019s a difference of about $40!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, we have the Xoom Energy<\/a> SureLock 12<\/strong> plan at $0.599 per therm. With this plan, including the base charge and customer service charge of $5.85, your January natural gas bill is about $140.01. With the Xoom Energy<\/strong> SVR, your bill would be about $246.25. That\u2019s a difference of over $100!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, we have the Georgia Natural Gas\u00ae<\/a> 12 Month Fixed<\/strong> plan also at $0.599 per therm. Including the base charge and customer service charge of (at least) $7.99, with this plan your January bill is about $142.15. With the Georgia Natural Gas\u00ae<\/strong> SVR, your bill would be about $348.64. That\u2019s a $200 difference!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
