Natural Gas in 3 Steps

1.

CHECK AVAILABILITY: If you’re not sure if natural gas is available in your neighborhood, use our online tool, or contact us. 

 

2.

CHOOSE AN INSTALLER: Contact a qualified local plumbing or HVAC company to plan and complete the installation of your natural gas appliances and piping. Your installer is responsible for installing all interior natural gas piping and equipment including furnaces, boilers, water heaters, stoves and other gas appliances, as well as connecting to Central Hudson’s meter bar, which would be installed outside your home or business.
Important: Customers who meet eligibility requirements may currently qualify for up to 100 feet of natural gas service line installation at no cost. However, changes to applicable laws and regulations could modify, reduce, or eliminate this installation entitlement in the near future. 

3.

COMPLETE THE NATURAL GAS SERVICE AGREEMENT: Work with your installer to submit a Natural Gas Service Agreement application. This application should be complete with all appliance BTU ratings and submitted well in advance of when you would like to begin natural gas service.
