Requesting Natural Gas Service Connections

​Need help bringing natural gas service to a new development, home or business? If you're a homebuilder, homeowner or business owner in EPCOR's service area, we can help.

Getting Started

Contact us at (281) 766-1290 or 1 (866) 601-3507 before starting construction on a new gas service line.

The following documents outline service line requirements and recommendations for underground gas yard lines.

• View our Construction Standards for Service Lines (previously drafted for Hughes Natural Gas) for installation requirements for new gas service lines (lines from mains to meters).

• View our Recommendations for Underground Gas Yard Lines (previously drafted for Hughes Natural Gas) for installation recommendations for repairs of underground gas yard lines and new underground gas yard lines (lines from the meter or stub-out to an outdoor appliance). 

As of 2008, meters for new service line installations are placed at the gas stub-out at the side of the house or building.
