How to cancel gas account.

Does anyone know if it is possible to have a gas account cancelled?

I have recently refurbished my house, and have no use for gas, as I have installed an air source heat pump. The gas is now completely redundant.

I am however paying my utility provider (Spark) a standing cost for gas, which I would like to do away with.

Is it possible once you have been connected onto mains gas to get off it? I don't mind the gas pipes coming on the property, but I don't want to pay for the privilege when I don't use the service any more.

    Easier to switch to Ebico keep the gas supply and pay nothing for it.

    You can have it capped off and the meter removed. But if you ever want a gas supply again you'll have to pay for it to be restored.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    I will look into this as an option.

    As I am to be using electricity only, my main priority will be looking for the cheapest rate possible for electricity.
