What’s the next step once I decide to switch to natural gas and have agreed to the contractor’s proposal (or have decided to install the equipment myself)?
Contact your South Jersey Gas sales representative. We will then prepare the design drawings, obtain the necessary permits and install your natural gas service. This process typically takes 4-6 weeks. During this time, your contractor may install the necessary equipment.

Once the contractor has completed the equipment installation, it has passed city inspection and we’ve run the service line to your home from the street, you or your contractor will need to contact South Jersey Gas at 609-561-9027 to have your service activated. A $20 activation fee will appear on your first bill.
