Moving home or changing your gas supply
Moving home or changing gas supplier
When you move to a new home, tell the gas supplier the date you want to take over the supply. If it has to be reconnected, the supplier may make a charge. Consumer Direct (see under heading Useful organisations) can advise on whether a charge should be made and what is a reasonable amount. If the supply has not been disconnected, read the meter and inform the supplier of the reading. Keep a copy of the reading.
If you want to change your gas supplier, notify both the current and the new gas suppliers. Both will want a final meter reading taken on the day you change suppliers. Some suppliers will send a meter reader; others will ask you to read the meter and send the reading to them. In either case, keep a note of the meter reading in case there is a dispute later.
- supply gas as soon as reasonably practical; and
continue to supply gas for as long as you want it
