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. |
