Five simple steps to switch to natural gas
PSE recommends using natural gas directly for home space and water heating when available. Choosing natural gas for your home offers valuable benefits for your budget, the environment and your comfort.
1. Determine natural gas availability
Start by confirming that natural gas is available to your home. You can simply e-mail your inquiry to UseNaturalGas@pse.com or call PSE's Customer Construction Services at 1-888-321-7779 (Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.). We’ll determine availability and inform you of the cost, if any, to bring natural gas to your home. This may take up to two business days in some cases.
2. Submit a Gas Service Agreement
Once availability is determined and you’ve decided to switch to natural gas, you will be given a Gas Service Agreement (GSA). This agreement provides PSE information on your intended natural gas use, meter location and other necessary information. Once completed, simply mail it back to the address listed on the form. electricity to natural gas, you may qualify for up to $3,950 in fuel conversion rebates.

Unless you have already selected a heating contractor, PSE can help you take the guess work out of choosing a pre-screened, independent contractor through PSE's Contractor Referral Service.
Once selected, your contractor will help you select the best energy-efficient equipment to fit your home, install it and connect it to the meter.
