So Long, Farewell, and Adieu to Washington Gas (But Not Literally, Unless You're Moving to Timbuktu)
Let's face it, breaking up is hard to do. Especially when it comes to utilities. They're kind of like that clingy friend you can't seem to shake.

The Great Gas Escape: Two Routes to Freedom
There are two main paths you can take on your journey to gas-independence (or gas-dependence elsewhere, depending on your situation). Choose the one that best suits your fancy (and internet connection):
Calling in the Cavalry (Customer Service):
- Dial the mighty number: 844-WASHGAS (that's 844-927-4427 for those of us who prefer letters).
- A friendly (hopefully) customer service representative will be there to guide you through the process. Be prepared to answer some basic questions about your account and desired shutoff date.
The Lone Wolf Method (Online):
- Gather your courage and head to the Washington Gas website (https://www.washingtongas.com/my-account/account-services-support/manage-your-account).
- Look for the ever-so-slightly-hidden "My Account" section (it's under the top banner).
- Once you're logged in (or have created an account, you digital hermit you), navigate to the elusive "Stop Service" tab.
- Fill out the form and hit that glorious "Submit" button. Boom! You're halfway to gas freedom.
Important Note: Whichever method you choose, make sure to give Washington Gas at least two business days notice before your desired shutoff date. They can't exactly turn off the gas with the snap of a finger (unless they have some seriously impressive oven mitts).
Frequently Asked Questions (Because Who Wants to Call?)
- How to avoid a break-up fee? Unfortunately, Washington Gas doesn't charge a break-up fee (good on them!). However, you will be responsible for any outstanding charges on your account. So, settle those dues before you ghost them completely.
- How long will it take to shut off my gas? The shutoff itself usually happens pretty quickly, within a day or two of your request.
- Can I restart the relationship with Washington Gas later? Absolutely! They're not vindictive (unlike that ex who keeps showing up at your work). Just call them up or head back to the website whenever you're ready to rekindle the gas flame.
- How do I know if Washington Gas even services my area? This is a great question! If you're unsure, you can check their website or give them a call. There's nothing worse than going through a break-up only to find out you weren't even dating them in the first place.
- How do I find a new gas supplier? If you're moving to a new location, this is where things get interesting. A quick Google search for "gas suppliers in [your new area]" should get you on the right track.
There you have it! Canceling your Washington Gas service is a breeze. Now go forth and conquer your next adventure, with or without gas-powered appliances (although we wouldn't recommend cooking dinner on a campfire).
