​Start New Natural Gas Service

You’re on your way to getting safe, reliable natural gas service. You can also easily add, transfer or stop service, because everything we do centers around you. ​​​​

To get started you will need:

  • CenterPoint Energy account number (if existing customer)
  • Move dates​
  • Payment method ready (for initial deposit if required)

For homes with existing natural gas connections, please submit the start service form seven (7) days before your scheduled move-in date to initiate billing cycle and begin gas service. Start service requests are usually completed within three (3) business days.

For newly constructed homes or connections to existing structures, learn more here: Connect to Gas.

Transfer Natural Gas Service

If you're already a CenterPoint Energy customer, but moving to a new location, you can request a service transfer.
