If you\u2019re looking to save money by finding the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/natural-gas-rates\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cheapest natural gas in your area<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> then Georgia Gas Savings is the perfect place to shop and compare the best short term gas plans for Atlanta.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Natural Gas Providers in Georgia<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You want a natural gas plan that keeps costs down while providing flexibility. The cheapest rate for natural gas on a short plan comes from the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/plans\/infinite-energy\/details\/6-mo-fixed\"><b>Infinite Energy 6 Month Fixed Rate<\/b><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">deal. This offers a price per therm of $0.519, which is roughly comparable to some of the longer-term plans on offer. The contract locks you in for 6 months, and if you want to leave early you\u2019ll need to pay a $150 early termination fee. However, your price will remain fixed at this relatively low level until it expires, making it easier to budget during this period.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your other option is to choose a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/resources\/what-is-a-variable-rate-plan\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">variable rate natural gas plan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. There are two providers who can offer a plan here; the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/plans\/scana-energy\/details\/introductory-variable-rate-plan\"><b>SCANA Natural Gas Promo<\/b><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">plan offers a cheap introductory rate. This heavily discounted plan offers a cheap rate of only $0.299 per therm &#8211; but only for the first month (you\u2019ll also pay a $5.95 service fee). Customers are then automatically enrolled on the <\/span><b>SCANA Energy <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">variable rate plan, which is much more expensive. The <\/span><b>SCANA Natural Gas Promo<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> deal is a fantastic way to cover a month\u2019s natural gas, but bills can quickly mount up on the variable rate plan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another option is to sign up for the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/plans\/infinite-energy\/details\/standard-variable\"><b>Infinite Energy Standard Variable Rate Gas Plan<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which comes with a rate of $1.299 per therm. That\u2019s a lot more than most fixed rate deals, the cheapest of which offer rates as low as $0.349 per therm. You will still pay a monthly fee of $5.95, and you may also find that natural gas rates may rise over time. However, if you&#8217;re looking for temporary option while you shop for a longer fixed rate, variable plans don&#8217;t have contracts. You can switch providers any time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Best Month To Lock In Natural Gas Rates<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Timing is exceptionally important with variable rate natural gas plans. Because the price you pay for natural gas will change throughout the year, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/blog\/2019\/04\/19\/shop-natural-gas-georgia-save-money\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">spikes in price can have a big impact on your monthly bills<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Currently, natural gas prices are low. Typically we would expect natural gas prices to rise over summer, particularly as power generator consume more and more gas to make electricity. However, with natural gas production\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.naturalgasintel.com\/articles\/118523-robust-natural-gas-production-to-keep-lid-on-prices-this-summer-says-ngsa\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">predicted to be \u201crobust\u201d this summer<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it\u2019s possible that the usual summer spike will be muted. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Control Your Georgia Gas Rates In 2019<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you\u2019re planning to move soon, or you\u2019re only living in Atlanta while you study, there are plenty of ways to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/resources\/save-money-with-gas-appliaces\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">save money on natural gas<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. While a variable rate natural gas plan might seem like your only option, again, bear in mind that you can always leave the plan contract early. Plus, neither the <strong>SCANA<\/strong>\u00a0nor the <strong>Infinite Energy<\/strong> variable plans have early cancellation charges to worry about!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a 12 month fixed rate, t<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/plans\/xoom-energy\/details\/surelock-12\"><b>XOOM Energy SureLock 12<\/b><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">plan locks you in for a year, but has a relatively low termination fee of $100. With a therm costing only $0.399 (almost a dollar less than the <\/span><b>Infinite Energy <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">variable rate) you could actually save money if your consumption is fairly high. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This highlights how important it is to carefully compare your options when shopping for natural gas. The easiest way to do this is with the new Georgia Gas Savings app &#8211; you can easily compare and even switch provider right from your phone: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/apps\/ga\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/apps\/ga<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Atlanta\u2019s Best Short Term Plans For Natural Gas Atlanta residents benefit from [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mbp_gutenberg_autopost":false},"categories":[153,161,212,152,1,47],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/748"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=748"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/748\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2094,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/748\/revisions\/2094"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=748"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=748"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=748"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
