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.

Thanking Our Veterans


  • Thank you to all members of the armed forces for your courage and commitment.

This Veterans Day and every day, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all veterans. We’re proud to employ many veterans at Peoples, who bring their dedication and spirit to our company.

Veterans Day reminds us to be grateful for all we have. It’s an opportunity to thank and celebrate the individuals who have served and continue to serve in our nation’s armed forces. 

“It’s an honor to work alongside the veterans throughout Essential’s workforce,” says Essential CEO Chris Franklin. “I want to take this opportunity to personally thank every person who has served, and to wish you a happy Veterans Day.”

At Peoples, we will always strive to create opportunities for our veterans and continue to embrace and honor the incredible work they’ve done for our country.  

“Essential is making a tremendous effort to foster inclusion within our workforce to better reflect the diverse communities we serve,” adds Franklin. “Essential is partnering with veterans coalitions to engage, hire, and support transitioning veterans to civilian life. The work ethic and camaraderie these service members bring to their teams is an invaluable asset to their fellow employees and our customers.”

Peoples is committed to making lives better for our customers, employees, and communities. That commitment is embodied by the veterans in our workforce, whose courage and conviction have made all of our lives better.

To our veterans, both within the Peoples family and across the country, thank you for your hard work and bravery. We wish you and your families a very happy Veterans Day.
