Start, Transfer or Stop Service

Start New Service

Georgia residents and businesses have a choice when it comes to their natural gas providers. Whether you’re just shopping for natural gas or ready to sign up, here are a few places to start:

If you need natural gas service as soon as possible, we recommend calling 877-472-4932 so we can help schedule service quickly. If you sign up online, you can request the earliest available date for new service. Scheduling depends on Atlanta Gas Light’s availability—they're responsible for physically turning your gas on. But we’ll do our best to accommodate your requested date.

If you’re switching to Gas South from another provider, you’ll need to sign up by the 19th for service to begin the first of the following month. Sign-ups completed after the 19th are scheduled to begin service the month after that—so, for example, switching on March 20 means your new service wouldn’t begin until May.

Yes! Gas South serves residential and business natural gas customers in the Atlanta Gas Light service territory. Individual eligibility is based on credit screening, and we never charge deposits. You can learn more about our natural gas rates and plans or sign up for service online. We're also available by phone at 877-332-5442 (for residential service) or 877-270-3790 (for business service). For business customers in Florida, you can get more information by calling our Florida Market Manager at 866-426-2491.

No! Gas South doesn't require a deposit from a residential customer who is approved for service. That’s up to $150 in immediate value when signing up.

There’s no written contract for residential or small commercial customers, though you do enter an agreement when choosing a fixed-rate plan or OnePrice Plan that requires you to pay an early termination fee if you cancel before your term of service has ended—detailed in our Terms and Conditions. Some large business customers are required to sign a contract when they receive customized pricing.

For customers turning on service in their own name, there’s a one-time connection fee of up to $75.

Yes. Gas South performs a soft credit check on all new sign-ups to determine plan eligibility, but this won’t affect your credit score. If your credit is currently frozen, you’ll need to temporarily unfreeze it before you can sign up. Visit the Equifax website or call 888-298-0045.

Yes. Gas South offers our BridgePlan program as an alternative to the Regulated Provider's Program, and to bring choice and savings to credit-challenged natural gas customers.

After 12 months of good payment history, you’ll be able to move to a lower standard rate and save even more.

Switch to Gas South

Switching natural gas providers in Georgia typically takes 10 to 40 days. Atlanta Gas Light (AGL) processes all market switch requests, and delays may occur.

If you’re switching to Gas South from another provider, you’ll need to sign up by the 19th for service to begin the first of the following month. Sign-ups completed after the 19th are scheduled to begin service the month after that—so, for example, switching on March 20 means your new service wouldn’t begin until May.

No. You don't need to contact your current provider, and your natural gas service will not be interrupted. Switching simply involves an administrative change, rather than a physical change. You can sign up for service online or by calling us at 877-332-5442 (for residential service) or 877-270-3790(for business service).
There are no switch fees from Gas South. An early cancellation fee by your current provider may apply if you don't complete the full term of a fixed rate plan. You should review the Terms and Conditions of your current provider agreement to determine if a cancellation fee applies. Atlanta Gas Light (AGL) charges a switch fee of $7.50 for customers switching marketers more than once in a 12-month period.

A $150 early contract cancellation fee may apply, but know that you’ll never be charged if you transfer or move to a home where Gas South does not provide service.

For fixed-rate or OnePrice plans terminated before the expiration date, a $150 early cancellation fee applies. Rest assured, you’ll never be charged if you transfer your Gas South service to another location or move to a home where Gas South does not provide service. Business customers will be charged a minimum of $300. There’s no contract agreement on a variable-rate plan—you’re free to choose another plan at any time. There are no additional charges from Atlanta Gas Light to terminate service.

Yes. You would then be considered a “seasonal” customer. A seasonal reconnection fee (up to $105) will be charged for voluntarily disconnecting and reconnecting service at the same home within a 12-month period.
