This is because throughout the U.S., homeowners burn more gas to keep their homes warm. Although there is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/dnav\/ng\/hist\/nw2_epg0_swo_r31_bcfw.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">plenty of natural gas in storage this year<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to meet demand, it\u2019s still likely that natural gas prices will spike during the colder months. When natural gas usage increases, usually in the summer and winter months, the cost of natural gas tends to increase as well.\u00a0<\/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;\">A quick glance at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/dnav\/ng\/hist\/n3010ga3m.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">historical natural gas prices<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> shows how rates fluctuate predictably throughout the year. November onwards is a good time to lock in a cheap natural gas rate, since prices are typically low &#8211; this is what\u2019s known as a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/blog\/2018\/09\/11\/times-buy-georgia-natural-gas-plans\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">shoulder month<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If you&#8217;re thinking about looking for a new fixed rate, don&#8217;t wait any longer. As the weather gets colder, though, it\u2019s possible that we\u2019ll see gas prices spike. If you\u2019re on a variable rate plan this could mean your energy prices shoot up this winter. So now\u2019s the time to lock in a cheap fixed rate natural gas deal to save yourself some money.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who Has The Cheapest Natural Gas In Georgia?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cheapest prices for natural gas come from <\/span><b>SCANA Energy<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This provider offers a low rate of only $0.309 per therm on all of its plans. This includes a wide range of different plan lengths. You can sign up for the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/plans\/scana-energy\/details\/24-month-fixed-rate-plan\"><b>SCANA Energy 6 Month<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> deal, which is particularly helpful if you\u2019re planning to move soon. Alternatively, you can go for longer plans including 12, 18 month, and the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/plans\/scana-energy\/details\/24-month-fixed-rate-plan\"><b>SCANA Energy 24 Month<\/b><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">plan. These all cost the same low price per therm, making it easy to choose the right gas plan for your situation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next-cheapest plan is the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/plans\/constellation\/details\/24-month-metro-home-plan\"><b>Constellation 24 Month Metro Home<\/b><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">deal, with a rate of $0.349 per therm. At only 4 cents per therm more than the <\/span><b>SCANA Energy <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">deal this is still a good plan. However, with a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ajc.com\/business\/natural-gas-prices-low-offer-atlanta-consumers-chance-lock\/moXS0QSTbrOSmwYQW9HQpN\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">typical consumption of 700 therms per home per year<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the extra 4 cents you spend per therm adds up to $28 annually. In addition, <\/span><b>Constellation <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">charges $1 more per month in service fees than <\/span><b>SCANA Energy<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, so over the course of a 24-month contract you could spend $80 more in total.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a slightly higher price per therm you could sign up for the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/plans\/infinite-energy\/details\/12-mo-fixed\"><b>Infinite Energy 12 Month<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> plan, which offers a rate of $0.369. That\u2019s more than you\u2019ll spend with either of the other providers we\u2019ve looked at so far, but <\/span><b>Infinite Energy\u2019s <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">monthly service charges are $5.95 per month, the lowest on offer. That means it could be a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/blog\/2019\/09\/27\/best-gas-rate-apartment-augusta-ga\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">good natural gas plan if you live in an apartment<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or anywhere else where you\u2019re likely to use less natural gas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Switch To A New Natural Gas Provider Today<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Georgia Gas Savings we pride ourselves on making it as easy as possible to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/resources\/how-to-switch-your-georgia-natural-gas-provider\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">switch natural gas provider<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
