Difficult to work with, expensive, impossible to get a refund
“
This was my first experience with having to get my own account from a gas company while living at an apartment, so I understood that the cost would be higher to begin with. However, I was not anticipating how much I would pay for an account versus how little I was paying for the bill itself. About five months into having an account, I did miss a payment and had my gas shut off (understandably so). However, getting it turned back on proved to be difficult. This is something you have to call for, and when I did, the person I spoke with on the line was rude and dismissive. I was unable to get my gas turned back on until later the following day since they had to come down from Atlanta. While on the phone with the representative, she took my payment for the fees to reinstate my account and to have someone come turn on the gas. Then, on my next bill, the payment showed up again. At first, I didn't think much of it, assuming maybe there was something they missed, but when the following bill had the turn on fee again, I knew something was wrong. When I called, they explained that I could not get the extra fee refunded and that I could only have it be credited toward a future bill. WHile this was not ideal, as I didn't have any wiggle room in my budget at the time, I had to go along with this. Then, on the next bill, they only credited part of what they owed me. I had to call again, and instead of crediting the remainder to the bill that was crafted and soon due, I had to wait until the following month for that part to come through.
After this debacle, I decided to turn on autopay. I had missed a bill before, and this whole process of getting it sorted out was nothing short of a nightmare, so I figured I would do myself a favor and ensure I would not miss another bill.
At the end of my contract, I received an email asking if I wanted to renew my contract. As my lease was ending, I did not, so I logged in to see what to do. The only option I saw was a button to say if I did want to renew my contract but nothing if I did not, so I (wrongfully) believed that it meant I did not need to take any further action. I saw nothing that said that I needed to call to cancel my account or that the end of the contract does not equate to the end of my account. I moved out of my unit at the end of August, and when I received a bill from GNG in September that autobilled, I assumed it was the remaining costs from the last billing cycle. When October rolled around, I got another bill, this one even higher (about $60). When I opened the bill and looked at it, it was for August 27-September 16 (keep in mind I moved out early/mid August). I called GNG and spoke with 2 representatives, as well as speaking to my apartment. They will not refund the amount and claim it was my responsibility even though I did not live in that unit and had not been in that unit for some time. I do understand that I made a mistake in not seeing the fine print, but as I was moved out and my lease was over, this should not have been my responsibility to pay. ”

Gng app is terrible
“ My service was disconnected because the app doesent work right. I have paperless billing. The app would say I didn't owe anything when I did infact owe or would not let me pay at all. So it's cut off because the app doesent work well. I would recommend this service to no one. They shouldn't offer paperless billing if the app is garbage. Customer service isn't great either ”

Very very poor customer service
“
I recently had the unfortunate experience of dealing with Constellation, a gas company that falls far short of expectations in almost every category. From their unreliable service to poor customer support, there are several reasons why I would advise others to consider alternative gas providers.
First and foremost, the service provided by Constellation is notably inconsistent. Frequent outages and delays have been a common occurrence, leading to significant inconvenience. This inconsistency not only affects daily life but also raises concerns about the dependability of their supply, particularly in critical situations.
Moreover, the customer's experience is further undermined by unhelpful support staff. My attempts to resolve billing issues and service disruptions were met with long wait times and generic responses that did little to address the underlying problems. This lack of effective communication and support is frustrating and unacceptable from a service provider.
On top of the unreliable service and poor customer support, Constellation's pricing is often higher compared to other providers. Considering the quality of service they offer, the cost does not justify the experience. There are numerous other companies that provide more reliable service at competitive rates.
In conclusion, based on my experiences, I would strongly recommend exploring other options before considering Constellation as your gas provider. It's crucial to choose a company that values customer satisfaction and reliability, neither of which are evident with Constellation. Make sure to research and opt for a provider that better meets your needs. ”

Rip Off
“ Were charging us almost $2 per therm while advertising 79 cents per therm on their website. They told us we werent in an area that that rate is offered. Switched to another other company for the exact same location and voila, 79 cents per therm. Btw they all use Atlanta Gas company so the the rate offering is BS on Scannas part. Exorbitant. ”

Pick Another Company
“
If you have another choice, make it. If not, keep ALL billing statements for at least 10 years after stopping service. Otherwise you may wake up one day to an email from Equifax stating that Gas South has reported your 8 yr old account as in collections.
1. April 9, 2025, I am notified by Experian and Equifax that a collection account has been reported by a collection agency called Transworld. I have never been contacted by them to dispute this debt.
2. I reached out to Gas South the same day via email. A Gas South representative responded and stated that the $500 debt in question was accrued from 2016-2017. This alone makes it ineligible for credit bureau reporting. Secondly, it is not owed at all.
3. I had Gas South service from 2016-2022 at the same address. It is absurd to suggest that somehow Gas South allowed a customer to carry a $500 balance that never got paid, month after month for 5 years! Especially when their own website states that past dude balances are subject to disconnection after going unpaid. By this policy, my service should have been disconnected in 2017, 2018, 2019,2020. But it wasnt. It was disconnected in June 2021. In order to reconnect, I had to pay the past due amount which I did and service was restored.
4. I paid all past due balance upon reconnection. Therefore, there was no $500 balance from 2017.
5. At no time did Gas South reach out to me using the same email I currently use that was also the email my account was established under. I never received a past due bill from 2017-2022 nor was I ever contacted by any collection agency in order to dispute the validity of this debt.
6. Rather, 8 years after this account allegedly becoming $500 past due, a collection agency reports this as a new unpaid debt. It is neither new nor is it an unpaid debt.
7. I have filed disputes with the credit bureaus and with the BBB. I will continue to pursue all available options until this matter is resolved. These companies have failed to follow the guidelines set forth in the FCRA and need to be held accountable. ”

Horrible - Late for first time in 23 years and have gas cut off
“ After no missed payments for 23 years, I missed a payment due to an extended hospital stay and had my gas turned off. I owed less than $100, too. I received no notification of the disconnect. I was charged a reconnect fee and told it would be a few days to get the gas turned back on. I have no more sick time and have to work 2 jobs. It will be a long time before I can be at home to get this turned back on. Lots of needless cold showers in my future. I hate this company. Is this how you repay 23 years of loyalty? ”

Xoom is hiding your rate information
“ Thought Xoom was like all the others competing. NO. They are hiding your bill. Don't believe me, go to there site and look for yourself. You can't find the invoice but they make it easy to charge your credit card with no backup. ”

Do not recommend
“ Total rip off charging 1,700 dollars of gas bill over three months. Does not care about its customers and stating policies over and over. Been a customer for over 10 years, never missed a single payment and this is how they treat their long-time customer with good standing. Please choose other gas companies. I am absolutely done with this absurd company. ”
