Transfer of Service

  1. Moving from one location using the natural gas infrastructure to another location that has complete natural gas infrastructure (Unseal Meter)
  2. Moving from one location using the natural gas infrastructure to another location that has natural gas infrastructure but WITHOUT the meter erected. (Reinstall Meter)
  3. Moving from one location with natural gas infrastructure to another that has natural gas accessible in the area but NO connection to the property. (New Service)

High Consumption Testing/Billing

Monitoring your gas accounts is one of the many ways to ensure safety at your property. If your gas account is ‘flagged’ indicating an increase of usage compared to the previous month, we will test the service for any leaks. Customers can also request this service if they believe their usage does not compare to what they are billed.

Testing Internal Lines

All internal lines are tested by the NPC before gas is turned on for all service applications.

Change Meter

Several factors would enable the change meter service. E.g., Meter not registering, Index damaged, service upgraded from domestic to commercial.

Temporary Disconnection

Customer requests NPC to temporarily disconnect their natural gas service with the intention of reconnecting at a later date. this temporary disconnect surpasses one (1) year, the service will be automatically permanently disconnected.

Request for a Termination of Service should be made in writing.  A Permanent Disconnection Form is available from the Customer Service Department or on request through email. 

Please note a final bill will be generated, providing all debts owed to the Corporation have been dissolved, the Refundable Customer Deposit paid when application was made will then become refundable to the applicant.
