If you are calling to set up service, move to a new address, or change your account, have your lease or proof of residency available. For billing disputes, have your recent bills in front of you so you can reference specific charges.

Service areas and whether Georgia Natural Gas serves your address

Georgia Natural Gas does not serve all of Georgia. The company operates in specific regions, primarily in central and southern Georgia. Before calling, confirm that your address falls within their service territory.

You can check whether your address is served by Georgia Natural Gas on their website or by calling customer service. If your address is not in their service area, they can tell you which utility serves your location. Other gas providers in Georgia include Atmos Energy, Scana Energy, and municipal utilities in some cities.

Billing and payment options

Georgia Natural Gas accepts payments by phone, online, mail, and automatic bank draft. When you call to pay by phone, have your account number and a credit or debit card ready. Payments made by phone are typically processed the same business day if called before 5 p.m.

Online payment through georgianatutalgas.com usually processes within one business day. If you mail a check, allow at least 10 business days for it to reach their office and post to your account. Setting up automatic payments through your bank account can help you avoid late fees and missed payments.

Reporting gas leaks and emergencies

If you smell gas, hear a hissing sound, or see bubbles in standing water near a gas line, leave the area when ready and call 911. Do not use your phone indoors if you suspect a gas leak — go outside first. Do not light matches, use electrical switches, or start your car in the area.

After calling 911, call Georgia Natural Gas at 1-800-427-5463 to report the leak. They dispatch emergency crews 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for gas emergencies. The company does not charge for emergency response to confirmed gas leaks.

Service start dates typically take 3 to 5 business days after your request, depending on whether the address has been previously served.

If you are moving out, notify Georgia Natural Gas at least 3 business days before your move date so they can schedule a final meter reading and close your account. If you do not notify them, you may be charged for usage after you leave or held responsible for damage to the meter.
