As a Summit Utilities customer, please know these key points about your service with us:  

• Adding a personal identification number (PIN) adds a level of security for accessing your natural gas account. We use the PIN as an identifier when you connect with us through our automated phone system, when you use our online account portal, or when you’re speaking with a Customer Service Representative. It's important not to share this PIN, as it plays a key role in account validation and enhances overall security. 

• We will never ask for money upfront to start your service. 

• We will never call you asking for your banking information. 

• When you call us, we're taking extra precautions to protect you. If we ask additional questions or take added measures to confirm your account validity, please know it's to protect your account and personal information.  

• Some measures we may institute include over-validating your account information, and we may disconnect the call if certain criteria cannot be provided.
