What happens if you report your city gas transfer late? Can you still call someone on the weekend? What’s the right number to use and how do you avoid penalties? This guide covers everything you need to know about reporting your city gas transfer correctly and on time—especially if you’ve already missed the deadline.
Report city gas transfer late
Many people only realize they were supposed to report their city gas transfer after they’ve already moved out. Unfortunately, late reporting can lead to billing complications, safety concerns, and even legal issues. I once had a tenant move out without informing me—or the gas company—and was later surprised by a hefty final bill under my name.
What happens if you report late?
If you delay reporting your gas transfer:
-
The account may remain active under your name.
-
You could be charged for usage you didn’t make.
-
There’s a possibility of reconnection or safety inspection fees.
Gas companies need to finalize your meter reading before officially ending your contract. If they can’t access your home, this complicates the process and adds unnecessary costs.
Real-world example
A neighbor in my apartment complex moved out on a Sunday night and figured they’d handle the gas transfer Monday morning. By that time, the new tenant had already activated service—under the old tenant’s name. It took a week, three phone calls, and a physical meter inspection to resolve the billing overlap.
How to fix it if you’re late
-
Call your gas company immediately.
-
Provide your move-out date and account details.
-
Request a retroactive finalization based on the meter photo if possible.
Even if you’re late, resolving it quickly can save you from inflated bills and complications.

City gas transfer notification phone number
Contacting the gas company directly is the fastest and most reliable way to report your move. Each regional supplier has a unique customer service line, often operating from 9 AM to 6 PM on weekdays.
Where to find the right number
You can usually find the notification phone number:
-
On your latest city gas bill
-
On the supplier’s website
-
Through the local government office’s move-in/move-out guide
For example, Seoul City Gas users can call 1544-3131, while other providers may vary. It’s smart to save this number in your phone before the move begins.
When to call
To avoid long wait times:
-
Call mid-week (Tuesday–Thursday)
-
Avoid peak lunch hours (12–1 PM)
-
Try early morning (9–10 AM)
Pro tip from experience
Last year, I helped a friend move and we couldn’t reach the gas company for hours. Eventually, we got through at 4 PM—just before closing time. The agent said they were swamped with end-of-month move-outs, which is when many people relocate. The takeaway? Plan ahead and call early.

City gas transfer report weekend
One of the most common questions I hear is: “Can I report my gas transfer on the weekend?” The short answer is: Not usually—but you do have options.
Weekend limitations
Most city gas providers do not process reports on weekends because:
-
Offices are closed
-
Meter readings can’t be scheduled
-
Technicians are unavailable
However, some providers offer online pre-registration. This lets you submit your transfer request in advance, even outside of business hours. While the actual processing happens on a weekday, at least your request is logged.
Online alternatives
Here are the steps I followed last year:
-
Visited the gas provider’s online portal (on a Sunday).
-
Submitted the move-out date and address.
-
Uploaded a meter photo as proof.
On Monday morning, I received a confirmation email. By Tuesday, my service was finalized with no extra charges.
Case in point
A client of mine moved on a Saturday and used the online tool late that evening. Since the request was in their system by Monday morning, the transfer was backdated to the correct day. That saved him nearly ₩25,000 in weekend usage fees he could’ve otherwise been charged.
Best practices for weekend movers
-
Submit requests online by Friday evening if possible.
-
Take meter photos clearly showing the reading and date.
-
Leave a note for the next tenant not to use gas until the transfer is done.
