Some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/companies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">natural gas suppliers<\/a> tend to have higher rates. However, if they can offer other incentives, the end result is a more competitive monthly cost. For example, let\u2019s take a look at natural gas supplier, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/companies\/gas-south\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gas South<\/a><\/strong>. This supplier has the highest fixed rate for 6 month and 12 month contracts this month. But how do plans that feature a bill credit save you money? Let\u2019s find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Breaking Down the Bill Credit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This month, the <strong>Gas South<\/strong> <strong>12 Month Fixed<\/strong> plan has the highest per therm rate, $0.710. But they are also the only supplier offering a $50 bill credit. So, how does that affect your costs over the period of the contract? According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/psc.ga.gov\/utilities\/natural-gas\/marketers-pricing-index\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PSC<\/a>, the average residence uses about 613 therms per year. That comes out to about $435.23 per year. Applying the $50 discount takes the annual cost down to $385.23, which essentially takes the per therm rate down to $0.628. That takes them down below the lowest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/resources\/what-is-a-fixed-rate-plan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fixed rate<\/a> this month! Keep in&nbsp; mind other charges apply, like delivery charges and monthly charges. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>How Bill Credits Effect 6 Month Plans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to the plans above, the <strong>Gas South 6 Month Fixed<\/strong> has the highest per therm rate, $0.710. Again, they are the only supplier with a $50 bill credit. Let\u2019s break down the math for the impact of this credit. For just half the year, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/resources\/understanding-your-natural-gas-bill\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">natural gas bill<\/a> for the average residence comes in at about $217.62. After the bill credit, that goes down to $167.62. This essentially brings the per therm rate down to $0.547. That rate beats the competition by a long shot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Another Key Perk from Gas South<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the $50 bill credit available on the 6 month and 12 month plans with <strong>Gas South<\/strong>, there is another strong incentive to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/resources\/how-to-switch-your-georgia-natural-gas-provider\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">switch natural gas suppliers<\/a>. Depending on your credit and other factors, many suppliers collect a deposit. That can mean up to $150 out of your pocket. Although you get the deposit back in the end, it can still be hard for some customers to come up with that cash. <strong>Gas South<\/strong> never charges a deposit, so you keep more cash in your pocket!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See how this plan compares to others for yourself.
