Calling PGW: Friend or Foe?
Let's be honest, calling a utility company isn't exactly your Friday night plans. But fret not, my friend! Here's a breakdown of PGW's phone lines, depending on your situation:
- For emergencies (gas leak!): Dial 215-235-1212 immediately. This is not a time for jokes! Evacuate the area and call from a safe location. PGW will be there faster than you can say "cheesesteak hoagie."
- For everything else (bills, service issues, existential gas-related dread): The number for PGW's customer service is 215-235-1000. Deep breaths, my friend, deep breaths.
Pro Tip: Calling during off-peak hours (think weekdays after lunch) might get you to a real person a little quicker. Think of it as rush hour for customer service!
QuickTip: Read line by line if it’s complex.
Hold Your Horses (or Should I Say, Donkeys?)
Alright, you've dialed the number. Now comes the "fun" part: hold music. Here's where things can get a little... interesting. Maybe you'll get a polka medley, or perhaps a rendition of the Rocky theme song on kazoo. Just remember, patience is a virtue (and maybe bring some headphones).
