This is a robot phone

There is no one to talk to. You just the robot. This is the worst phone service I have had to deal with the the last 44 years of my life.

Disconnect

They disconnected service on Friday at 4:30 pm and we are new tenants without any notice we were unaware it was separate service then BPU. The gas guy that disconnected it said cold is coming they told me to disconnect everyone that hasnt paid. I called to get things resolved and registered for new service they say now that they can have it on by Wednesday, we will have freezing temps, I thought they couldnt disconnect and I have severe asthma.

Cold Weather Rule Violation

It's below zero and Kansas Gas Service cut out service. Our account is paid up, but they're system only registers an address we haven't lived at for over 6 years. This company is a known monopoly with consistent unethical business practices.

Poor customer service and sky high rates

I live in a mobile home. I am on SS with a limited check each month. This doesn't matter to them. My thermostat is set on 66 each day and 60 at night . And I still have to wear a coat in my house. My next bill is already $91. And it hasn't even gotten cold yet. Their answer is pay the bill. I've got plastic on my windows and a curtain in my hallway to block half the house. What am I supposed to do???

They charged me for service someone else used

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

When I moved into my new place I had services turned on in my name. Apparently, the gas company did not shut off service after the last tenant requested to shut off the service.

The representative told me they don't shut off service during the summer months. So now that I live here they are charging me $550 for 7 days of service because they added service that was used when the gas was supposed to be turned off. And because I rented this same place 7 years ago I'm "linked" to this property.

So now that I am renting this house again and they need to bill someone they add it to my bill. Makes no sense.

Horrible experience

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Kansas Gas Service - Horrible experience

I had a scheduled gas service that got cancelled with no notice, I waited all day yesterday rescheduled all of my appointments for today. Ended up having to cancel AGAIN and then switch my work shift around because the tech decided not to come until 3pm.

I was told nobody would be in my house. I haven't had hot water for 2 weeks because I was given misinformation that I needed to come up with $350 to turn my service back on so my house is a complete mess and absolutely EMBARRASSING. The tech banged on my door and said he HAD to come in and if I refused he'd just turn my gas back off. I said fine, my house is a complete mess, dishes piled up and my dog who just had surgery on his stomach had an accident all through my house I hadn't gotten all the way cleaned up yet but have at it.

If I would've known a complete stranger would be in my house I would've made it a little more presentable and moved my dogs kennel into a closed bedroom so he wasn't barking at the tech the entire time. The automated system said that I needed to pay $350 and that the reps are trained to say the same thing making it seem there was no sense in trying to contact a rep. I only found out I could set up a payment arrangement because I put in a KERA app and they helped me. Giving your "customers", if that's what you call us, the correct info would also lead to the employees and technicians to have a more pleasant experience as well.

I was also told my appointment yesterday was cancelled because I didn't make the payment in time and the tech cancelled it. I told the agent I am a server and would have to put money on a card before I could pay it. I paid it at 12:30 and waited all day until 15 minutes past me having to be at work when I called and asked about my appointment which they then told me the tech cancelled because I didn't make the $27 payment fast enough. Instead of calling and seeing about the payment or even calling to let them know it's CANCELLED they just left me hanging, waiting around all day and inevitably making me late for work for absolutely no reason.

HORRIBLE experience and service. If I could go with another provider I 1000% would.

Pros:
  • Having hot water

Preferred solution: An apology, but also changing your practices. Letting customers know the correct info and informing us when you cancel an appointment

User's recommendation: Find a different provider. If not, always talk to a rep and follow up hourly with them to make sure nothing "slipped through the cracks".

I heard from them and they could be of no help.

I ask them to remove a gas light that had been in my yard for over 40 years. It has not had any gas to for many many years. It is an eyesore in my yard. They told me I would have to have a plumber or appliance person remove it. That answer did not satisfy me as the gas company put it there so I felt they could remove it. .

Customer Satisfaction

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

My gas meter has been wrong since Feb. 2021 to where it was reading the incorrect gas gauge for each month of which I was paying in trust that my bill was correct.

Come March 2022, my bill was $500! After speaking with their customer service, they informed me of the issue and told me Well, this is compensate for the incorrect months but without notifying me that they would be back dating my billing for a YEAR and expecting me to just pay it without question. Called to schedule for them to come and fix the meter for a new meter and they never showed up after I had taken the day off for them to come out and fix it. No time frame was given either.

After calling at 5 PM on the day they were to come, the lady in customer service told me i actually didnt need to be present so I left because I needed to take care of things I had pushed off for them to come. After leaving, they then called me saying they had arrived and were actually needing to be let in. I have called the customer service number to ask for guidance as to why I am having to pay such a high bill four times and have been given the same answer each time that its just something Im going to have to pay and theres nothing they can do about it.

I am so confused as to how customers are satisfied with any services provided as nothing has been timely or efficient. With calling so many times, I have even spoken with a supervisor which was more than likely less helpful than any of the other representatives.

Unfair fee

Updated by user Feb 09, 2022

I don't know why my phone insists it's in Chicago. It's not.. it's in Topeka Kansas

Original review Feb 09, 2022
Our family has been with Kansas gas service for 15 years.. only because we had no other choice.

Can you say monopoly? Anyway, we have always had our bill auto drafted from our checking account. When we moved recently, we transferred our service to the new address. We weren't aware that the auto payment would have to be re-established under the new address, we assumed that it would transfer as well.

It did not. So when my husband went to set it up, he missed one number in our bank account number. The payment was sent declined. Noone bothered to look at our account to find out what the correct number was.

But they did find the time to send us a $30 fine. The fee was not from the bank, it was from Kansas gas service. They explained to me that it is a policy of theirs to do so. I tried to understand what expenses they had incurred, unless it's the cost of one piece of paper, and envelope, and a stamp to notify us that we were being charged $30.

So it was a punishment. The representative preferred to call it a policy. Apparently if you call it a policy, you can do whatever you want. There was no consideration for 15 years of on-time payments and an obvious disconnect during the moving process.

The customer service representative explained that they can do it, so they did, and it's non-negotiable. I'm not happy. But I am stuck. And they know it!

I suddenly think I smell gas near my meter. I better have somebody come look at it. That's worth $30 don't you think?

And I might smell it again next week. Sure glad that's a free service.

Lesson learned. Pay attention when entering banking info.

When the company attempts to collect payment and it is declined, they pay a fee to the bank. I would be hesitant to pull your “I smell gas by my meter” crap. The utility is only responsible for the meter.

If they see no leak they will make you pay an HVAC guy to inspect/troubleshoot your gas appliances. That could be several hundred dollars.

I needed to have service turned on in my name, but I owed from another place 2 years ago. They were great with working out a payment plan with me as long as I paid a minimum payment. It was a lot less hassle than I have ever had before in the same kind of situation, I was surprised by the good service. They also made it super easy for me to make a payment online and stayed on the line with me, and helped me when I got stuck. Thank you, keep up the great customer service.
