How to Get Connected

If you are connecting a house that has never been connected before you will first have to find out if it is possible to obtain natural gas supply in the area. To do this you should contact Bord Gáis Networks on 1850 200 694 or email networksinfo@bge.ie. If gas is available in your area you will then have to complete the connection process. You can obtain more information on this process by contacting Bord Gáis Networks as outlined above or visiting their website.

Before your natural gas supply is switched on, Bord Gáis Networks will ask you to nominate a supplier. This is required so that Bord Gáis Networks know who to send your meter information to and so that you can be billed. Click to view a list of suppliers and contact details: Natural Gas Suppliers

Cost of Connection

The cost of connection varies depending on a number of factors including the distance from the network. For a full quotation contact Bord Gáis Networks on 1850 200 694.
