Emergency Hotline: 1.800.400.4271

24 hours a day / 7 days a week


What is an Emergency?

Gas leaks, an odor of gas, damaged lines, and carbon monoxide symptoms are all considered emergencies. If you have an emergency, call our emergency hotline at 1-800-400-4271 . Our personnel are ready to assist you 24/7. When in doubt, call us immediately. 

If you smell gas, do not attempt to locate the leak. Instead, leave the house or building right away. Do not turn on or off any electrical switches, appliances, or lights, as an electrical charge could create a spark. When you are in a safe place, call the Peoples emergency hotline.

Which Gas Lines Are Your Financial Responsibility?


Peoples is responsible for surveys, safety inspections, and emergency investigations for gas lines inside and outside of your home. When one of these activities results in a failure or a leak on the customer’s portion of the gas lines inside or outside of your home — which are the customer service line, house line, and gas appliances — it is the customer’s responsibility to schedule those repairs with a qualified installer and to cover the cost of those repairs. In addition, the installation of any new customer service lines, house lines, and gas appliances is also the customer’s responsibility to schedule and pay for.

Note: Piping systems are specific to your location. Meters are sometimes located further away from buildings or close to roadways, with longer service lines and, occasionally, underground house lines.

Why Should You Protect Your Lines?


Most of us are too busy to worry about our gas, water, and sewer lines. If they fail, are you prepared to pay thousands of dollars and take the time necessary to locate a contractor you can trust? Peoples Protection Programs were created to take care of you when the unexpected happens.

Low-Cost Peace of Mind


Peoples knows pipelines. When you have coverage with our Peoples Protection Programs, you have protection from the cost and inconvenience of dealing with unexpected line repairs. You’ll have peace of mind knowing:

  • Costly repairs or replacements to your lines (based on programs you enroll in) are covered.

  • You will be able to call to report a claim 24 hours/day, 7 days/week.

  • You don't have to find your own contractor. All work will be completed by a qualified professional from the Peoples network.

  • Your monthly charge for Peoples Protection Programs will appear on your monthly gas bill.
