Time to lock in gas rates for savings of 40% or more on heating bills!

Winter is coming...time to check your current gas therm price.  Do you know how much you are paying per therm for natural gas for your home? You can save 40% OR MORE if you are on a variable rate right now - and if you haven't done your research, you probably are!
My price per therm was locked in last year at $0.79/therm for one year. I just got $0.629/therm through Scana Energy with a 1 year contract.  Now, typically I am not a fan of contracts for services, but I decided 3 years ago - after much research! - that it was the best route.  If you don't have a contract, you are automatically placed on a variable rate plan which changes each month, based on demand and wholesale prices. 
My co-worker (who also has Scana) was on a variable rate plan, and she has been paying anywhere from $0.99/therm - $1.20/therm for the past year!  She called Scana yesterday and locked in with a 1 year contract for $0.629/therm - a savings of over 40%! With winter right around the corner, it's a good idea to check your service and see what YOU are paying per therm.
