This month's energy tip: Use a timer to avoid keeping your Christmas
house and tree lights on all night.
If you have an annual contract for natural gas and you don't check the
rates when you're eligible to switch, you could end up with a variable
rate that empties your pocket each month. Marketers quote only the gas
rates, but your bill includes customer service fees and other charges
that add up. Be sure to compare "Apples-to-Apples" rates, which include
everything but taxes.
As published by the PSC, here are the "Apples-to-Apples" rates (with
typical December bills) offered by Georgia marketers for annual
contracts signed this month:
1) Coweta-Fayette EMC (877-RINGEMC): $1.36/therm or $162.39
2) GasKey (877-GAS-1KEY): $1.36/therm or $162.39
3) Georgia Natural Gas (877-850-6200): $1.38/therm or $164.43
4) Infinite Energy (877-342-5434): $1.36/therm or $162.39
5) Scana Energy (877-GO-SCANA): $1.36/therm or $163.51
6) Shell Energy (877-67-SHELL): $1.40/therm or $167.67
7) Southern Company Gas (866-SOCO-GAS): $1.40/therm or $167.67
8) Vectren Source (866-200-5693): $1.35/therm or $161.07
9) Walton EMC (866-WEMCGAS): $1.33/therm or $159.02

To choose a new marketer, call them at the number above and sign up for
a one-year fixed rate. They will order Atlanta Gas Light and your
current marketer to transfer your account, and they will process the
switch the same month if you call by the 19th.
