In fact, the EIA predictions show natural gas heating expense dropping by 15% in the south! This is the combined effect of lower natural gas wholesale costs and a moderate to warm winter for much of the country. Lower prices and lower demand mean you could be spending less on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/natural-gas-rates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">natural gas<\/a>. But you need to be proactive and capitalize on this trend. So, let\u2019s get into how Georgians can pay <a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/resources\/5-ways-to-lower-your-natural-gas-bill\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lower gas heating bills<\/a> this winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Four Gas Plans to Lower Gas Heating Bills<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The stage is set for a lower cost heating season in Georgia. But to get the most benefit, you\u2019ll want to shop for cheap natural gas rates. Here are four options available right now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cheapest rate right now is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/companies\/scana-energy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Scana Energy<\/a> 18 Month<\/strong> at $0.489 per therm. The monthly charge is $9.95 and the ETF is $200.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next it\u2019s <strong>Scana Energy 12 Month<\/strong> at $0.499 per therm. The monthly charge is $9.95 and the ETF is $150.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then we have the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/companies\/georgia-natural-gas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Georgia Natural Gas\u00ae<\/a> 12 Month Fixed plan<\/strong> at $0.499 per therm. The monthly charge is $7.99-$8.99. The ETF starts at $100 for the first 6 months then drops to $50 for the last 6 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally it\u2019s the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/companies\/constellation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Constellation<\/a> 12 Month Natural Gas Plan<\/strong> at $0.599 per therm. The monthly charge is $6.95 and the ETF is $150.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Else Can Lower Winter Heating Costs?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To lower your winter heating costs, keep an eye on natural gas rates and lower your natural gas use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you don\u2019t lock in a natural gas plan now, watch natural gas rates and weather trends in the coming months. A stretch of milder temperatures across the U.S. could drive natural gas prices lower. However, an unexpected cold snap at the right moment can quickly push prices higher. So, compare natural gas plans regularly to catch a good deal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also save money by cutting your natural gas use. Start by sealing air leaks around windows, doors, and other openings. These are cheap fixes that reduce heat loss. Adding insulation to your attic and other poorly insulated areas also makes a big difference. Another move that costs nothing but saves you a lot of wasted energy is lowering your thermostat 8-10 degrees when you&#8217;re sleeping or away from home. A programmable or smart thermostat can make these adjustments automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But if you\u2019re ready to snag a cheap rate today, don\u2019t hesitate!
