What to have ready before you call

Kansas Gas Service representatives can help faster if you have your account number available. You can find this on your gas bill, usually near the top or in the account section. If you do not have a recent bill, you can provide your service address and the phone number associated with the account.

For billing disputes or questions about a specific charge, have your bill in front of you so you can reference the date and amount. For service requests like turning gas on or off, or changing your service address, the representative will need your current address and the date you want the change to take effect.

Reporting a gas leak or smell

A strong smell of gas, even faint, should be treated as an emergency. Do not investigate the source yourself, do not use any electrical devices, and do not light a match or lighter. Leave your home or building when ready and move to a safe distance away from the structure.

Once you are outside and safe, call 911 or the Kansas Gas Service emergency line at 1-800-794-4427 and tell them you smell gas. Dispatchers will send a technician to your location. Do not re-enter the building until a technician has checked it and confirmed it is safe. If you are in a multi-unit building, alert your neighbors to leave as well.

Paying your bill by phone

You can pay your Kansas Gas Service bill over the phone by calling 1-800-794-4427 during business hours. Have your account number and a payment method ready — they accept credit cards, debit cards, and bank account information. Payments made by phone are usually processed the same business day.

Paying online at kgscorp.com is often faster and does not require waiting on hold. You can also set up automatic payments so your bill is paid on the same date each month, which helps you avoid late fees and service interruptions.

Starting or stopping service

To start gas service at a new address, call 1-800-794-4427 with your new service address and the date you need service to begin. Kansas Gas Service will schedule a technician to turn on the gas and perform a safety inspection. You may be asked for a deposit depending on your credit history and payment history with the utility.

To stop service — when you are moving or no longer need gas — call at least three business days before your move-out date. The representative will schedule a final meter reading and confirm your forwarding address for your final bill. If you do not call ahead, you may be charged for gas used after you leave, or the account may remain open in your name.

Outages and service interruptions

If your gas service has stopped unexpectedly, first check whether your bill is current. Kansas Gas Service may interrupt service for non-payment, usually after sending multiple notices. If your account is past due, call 1-800-794-4427 to discuss payment options or a payment plan.

If your bill is current and service is still off, report the outage by calling 1-800-794-4427 or through their website. Provide your account number and service address. A technician will investigate whether the problem is at your meter, your appliances, or the main line. Some issues — like a pilot light that has gone out on your water heater — may be something you can address yourself, but a technician can walk you through it or schedule a service visit if needed.
