What to have ready before you call

When you call Kansas Gas for a non-emergency issue, have your account number ready. You can find it on your bill, in the upper left corner of the first page. If you do not have your bill handy, you can give the phone representative your service address and the name on the account.

For billing questions, it helps to have your recent bill in front of you so you can reference specific charges or dates. For service requests — like turning gas on or off, or scheduling a meter read — have your address and a list of dates and times when someone will be home.

For emergencies, you do not need to gather anything. Call when ready and describe what you smell or see. The dispatcher will ask you questions to figure out what is happening and send help to your address.

When to call versus when to use online options

Use the phone line when you need to speak with someone right away about a problem, when you have a complex billing question, or when you need to schedule a service visit and want to confirm the appointment details. Phone representatives can also help if you are having trouble with the online account portal.

Use the website (kansasgas.com) to pay a bill, report a non-emergency problem, check your account balance, view your usage history, or set up automatic payments. The website is available 24 hours a day and does not require you to wait on hold. Many routine tasks — like paying a bill or reporting a service outage — are actually faster online.

For emergencies, always call. Do not try to report a gas leak or gas smell through the website; call 1-800-794-4427 and select the emergency option when ready.

What happens after you report a gas leak or emergency

When you call the emergency line and report a gas leak or smell, a dispatcher will ask you where you are (inside or outside the building), what you smell, and whether anyone is in danger. They will tell you to leave the area if you have not already. Do not turn electrical switches on or off, do not use your phone inside the building, and do not start your car in an attached garage.

The dispatcher will send a technician to your address. Response time depends on how busy the area is and how far away the nearest technician is, but Kansas Gas aims to respond to gas emergencies within a short window. A technician will arrive with equipment to detect gas and find the source of the leak.

If the leak is in the gas line that runs from the street to your house (the service line), Kansas Gas is responsible for fixing it at no cost to you. If the leak is inside your house in your own plumbing or appliances, you are responsible for the repair, though the technician can tell you what needs to be fixed.

Billing and account questions you can handle by phone

Call the main number (1-800-794-4427) during business hours to ask about a high bill, to understand what a charge means, to set up a payment plan, or to ask about budget billing (a program that spreads your costs evenly across the year). You can also ask about programs that help low-income households pay their bills.

If you want to dispute a charge or think there is an error on your bill, the representative can start an investigation. They will ask you to describe the problem and may ask you to send in photos or other proof. The investigation usually takes 30 days, and Kansas Gas will contact you with the result.

You can also call to ask about your usage — why it went up or down, what the average is for your neighborhood, or how to use less gas. A representative can walk you through your bill and explain where your gas is going.

Local Kansas Gas offices and in-person service

Kansas Gas does not have walk-in customer service offices in most areas. Most transactions happen by phone or online. If you need to pay a bill in person, you can usually pay at a local bank or check-cashing service; ask the Kansas Gas representative for locations near you.

If you need to meet with someone in person about a service issue — like a meter problem or a question about your line — you can request a home visit. Call 1-800-794-4427 to schedule an appointment. A technician will come to your house at a time that works for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I smell gas but I am not sure if it is coming from my house?

Call 1-800-794-4427 and select the emergency option. Describe what you smell and where you are. The dispatcher will ask questions to help figure out whether it is your gas line or a neighbor's. If there is any chance it is your line, a technician will come check. It is always better to call and have it checked than to ignore a smell.

Can I pay my Kansas Gas bill over the phone?

Yes. Call 1-800-794-4427 during business hours and tell the representative you want to pay your bill. They will take your payment information. You can also pay online at kansasgas.com or set up automatic payments so your bill is paid the same day each month without you having to do anything.

How long does it take to get gas turned on at a new address?

Call 1-800-794-4427 to request service. Kansas Gas usually turns gas on within one to three business days if you call before 2 p.m. on a weekday. If you call late in the day or on a weekend, it may take longer. You will need to be home or arrange for someone to be there when the technician arrives.

What if I cannot pay my gas bill?

Call 1-800-794-4427 and explain your situation. Kansas Gas offers payment plans that spread your bill across several months. They also have programs for low-income households that may reduce your bill or help you pay it. The representative can tell you what you may be able to use based on your income and situation.

Is there a number to report a service outage?

You can report an outage by calling 1-800-794-4427 or through the website at kansasgas.com. If you call, tell the representative your address and describe the problem (no gas pressure, pilot light will not stay lit, etc.). They will check whether there is an outage in your area and send a technician if needed.
