Many Georgia residents do not realize they can choose their natural gas provider -- or they assume switching is complicated. In reality, Georgia deregulated its natural gas market in 1998, giving consumers the power to choose their marketer. Switching is straightforward and causes zero disruption to your gas service.
How Georgia's Deregulated Gas Market Works
Atlanta Gas Light (AGL) owns and maintains all the natural gas pipelines and infrastructure in Georgia. They deliver gas to your home regardless of which marketer you choose. Your marketer -- the company you pay for the gas itself -- simply determines your per-therm rate and monthly service charge.
Think of it like choosing an internet provider: the same cables deliver the service, but different companies offer different prices and plans.
The Switching Process
Step 1: Choose Your New Plan Compare rates from different marketers. Look at both the per-therm rate and the monthly service charge. True Natural Gas publishes all rates transparently on our website.
Step 2: Sign Up You can sign up online or by phone. You will need your AGL account number (found on your current bill) and basic personal information.
Step 3: We Handle the Transfer Once you sign up with True Natural Gas, we notify AGL and your current marketer. The switch happens on your next meter reading date -- typically within 1-2 billing cycles.
Step 4: Continuous Service Your gas service is never interrupted. The same gas flows through the same pipes. The only thing that changes is who you pay and how much you pay per therm.
Common Concerns
There is no cost to switch marketers in Georgia. You will not experience any gap in service. Your gas supply is not physically different -- AGL delivers the same natural gas regardless of your marketer.
If you are on a fixed rate plan with your current provider, check whether there is an early termination fee. Many plans have no cancellation fee, but it is worth verifying before you switch.
