Starting or Changing Service
with Chesapeake Utilities

To Apply For Service: You may initiate a new account or transfer an existing account by simply completing our online application, or by calling your local Chesapeake Utilities office. Click here to learn: Where's my nearest office?

If you need same day or next day service, you may apply in person if you wish to expedite the application process. Our Customer Service Representatives will need to know your name(s), social security number, new service address, billing address (if different), former service address (if applicable), home telephone number, employer and employer's telephone number, and the date you wish to initiate your natural gas service. After we receive your information, one of our trained natural gas service coordinators or service professionals will visit your home and ensure everything is ready to start your natural gas service.

We will send you an application to sign if we receive your customer information over the telephone or with an on-line application. We need to receive your signed application and security deposit (if required) to activate your service.

We may require a security deposit if you rent a house or apartment. We hold and manage security deposits under the guidelines set forth by the state Public Service Commission (PSC). We will return your security deposit along with interest earned to you after one year of service provided you have paid your bills on time. Interest earned is based at the rate prescribed by the Public Service Commission.
