Opening a New FPU Account

FPU wants to serve you, and we want to make it as convenient as possible to start your natural gas service. Accounts can be opened by calling the South Florida office 561-832-0872 or Central Florida office 386-668-2600 or by coming to your local branch. There are two steps in opening a new account with FPU:

  Same Day or Outside Normal Business Hours (Based Upon Availability) $69.00 plus deposit (varies)

Turning On The Gas

  Once your FPU account has been set up, you can help us start your service by following these simple steps:
  • Have your permanent electric and water services turned on before you request gas service.
  • If you are moving into a newly built home, be sure all required city/county inspections have been made and that the proper inspection sticker has been placed on your house gas line.
  • Request your natural gas service by calling the FPU office or by mailing your request to the local FPU office. Under normal circumstances, we can turn on your gas the same or next business day after we receive your request. If you are not sure about the date of your occupancy, feel free to make your request in advance, then notify us when your plans are more complete.
  • For your safety and convenience, be certain that someone at least 18 years of age will be at home when our service representative is scheduled to turn on your gas, so that we can light your pilot lights and make sure your appliances are working properly.

TO AVOID DELAYS, HAVE YOUR ACCOUNT NUMBER HANDY WHEN YOU CALL WITH ANY QUESTIONS, REQUESTS OR PROBLEMS CONCERNING YOUR NATURAL GAS SERVICE.

FEES SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
