Cancel Towngas: The Right Way
How to cancel towngas in singapore: your complete step-by-step guide
Understanding towngas and why you might cancel
Towngas is a long-established energy provider that supplies piped gas and related household services across multiple markets, including a presence that serves Singapore residents. The company offers gas supply, appliance sales, and account management through online and in-person channels.
You might cancel Towngas for several practical reasons: relocating to a new home, switching to an alternative gas provider, or simply no longer needing gas supply. Whatever your reason, Stopee is here to walk you through the process with clarity and confidence.
Service scope in singapore
Towngas operates gas supply accounts and an appliance retail division. If you hold an active gas supply account with Towngas in Singapore, you'll need to follow a formal disconnection process. If you've purchased appliances online, cancellation and return policies are stricter and carry specific conditions.
Understanding which service you're cancelling helps you navigate the right process without wasting time.
Your consumer rights in singapore
Consumer protection (Fair trading) act protections
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act gives you specific rights when dealing with gas suppliers and retailers like Towngas. You have the right to cancel certain contracts within a cooling-off period, demand accurate billing information, and receive transparent terms before signing or committing to service.
For gas supply accounts, you can terminate service by providing reasonable notice (typically two working days). Towngas must disclose all charges and conditions upfront, and any misleading statements about service or pricing are enforceable against the company.
For appliance purchases, the law protects you against defective goods and unfair contract terms. However, Towngas's terms currently state that returns require written consent. If Towngas refuses a reasonable return, you can escalate to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) or the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS) for mediation.
Your right to fair notice and disconnection
You do not need Towngas's permission to cancel; you need only provide advance notice. Two working days is the industry standard. Towngas must acknowledge your cancellation request and schedule a disconnection appointment at a time that suits your circumstances.
If Towngas delays disconnection or charges unexpected fees, Stopee recommends documenting all communication and escalating via CASE if the company does not comply.
Methods to cancel your towngas account
Online cancellation via eService centre
The fastest route to cancel Towngas is through the company's online eService Centre portal. This method avoids phone queues and creates an immediate digital record of your request.
You will need your Towngas account number, correspondence address, and a valid email or phone number. The portal allows you to select your preferred disconnection date and arrange an appointment for the final meter reading.
In-person cancellation at a towngas customer centre
If you prefer face-to-face interaction or do not have reliable online access, you can visit any Towngas Customer Centre to initiate cancellation. This method ensures a staff member processes your request immediately and you receive written confirmation on the spot.
Bring your account details, a photo ID, and proof of your correspondence address. Having these documents ready speeds up the process significantly.
How to cancel towngas step by step
Disconnecting your gas supply account
Follow this process to close your gas supply account and schedule disconnection.
- Gather your account information
- Locate your Towngas account number (printed on your latest bill).
- Confirm your correspondence address as registered with Towngas.
- Note your preferred disconnection date (at least two working days from today).
- Access the eService Centre or visit a Customer Centre
- Online route: Log into the Towngas eService Centre using your account details or email.
- In-person route: Locate your nearest Towngas Customer Centre on the company's website and visit during business hours.
- Submit your cancellation request
- Select "Close Account" or "Request Disconnection" from the menu.
- Enter your correspondence address exactly as Towngas holds it on file.
- Confirm your preferred disconnection date.
- Verify contact details where Towngas can reach you about the appointment.
- Receive confirmation and appointment details
- Towngas will email or send SMS confirmation with your disconnection appointment date and time.
- Pro tip: Screenshot or save this confirmation immediately; you may need it as proof of cancellation.
- Allow access for the disconnection visit
- Ensure someone is home on the scheduled date to allow Towngas technicians to access your meter and perform the final reading.
- If you cannot be present, contact Towngas at least 48 hours before the appointment to reschedule.
- Receive your final bill
- Towngas will mail or email your final bill within 7-14 days of disconnection, showing all charges through the disconnection date.
- Review this carefully to ensure no errors or unexpected charges.
Cancelling towngas appliance orders
Appliance cancellations are more restrictive and require written consent from Towngas.
- Check the order status
- Log into your Towngas Appliance account or contact customer service immediately.
- Ask whether your order has already been dispatched or is still pending.
- Submit a written cancellation request
- Email your request to Towngas Appliance customer service with your order number and reason for cancellation.
- Use clear language: "I request to cancel order [number] dated [date]."
- Await written approval
- Warning: Towngas does not automatically approve appliance cancellations. The company will respond within 3-5 business days.
- If approved, follow the return instructions provided in the email.
- If refused, you can escalate via CASE or decline delivery when the item arrives.
- Return the appliance (if approved)
- Arrange a return pickup or drop-off as instructed by Towngas.
- Ensure the item is undamaged, unused, and includes all original packaging and freebies.
- Keep the return receipt as proof of return.
What happens after you cancel
The disconnection and final meter reading
Once your cancellation request is confirmed, Towngas will schedule a technician to visit your property on the agreed date. The technician will perform a final meter reading to calculate your last charges and physically disconnect the gas supply.
This process typically takes 30-60 minutes. After disconnection, you will no longer have access to gas supply. Ensure all gas appliances are isolated or made safe before the disconnection date if you plan to continue using them.
Final billing and account closure
Towngas calculates your final bill based on consumption up to the disconnection date, plus any outstanding charges. The company will mail this to your correspondence address or email it to you, depending on your preferences.
Review your final bill carefully. If you spot errors or unexpected charges, contact Towngas immediately with photos of your meter reading or other evidence. Stopee recommends settling any balance within the stated payment deadline to avoid late fees or debt collection action.
Security deposit and overpayments
If you paid a security deposit when opening your account, Towngas will apply it against any outstanding final charges. If the deposit exceeds what you owe, the company will refund the difference.
Refunds are processed within 4-6 weeks and may be sent by cheque or electronic bank transfer. Confirm your preferred refund method with Towngas when you cancel.
Refunds and final payments explained
What refunds you can expect
Refunds from Towngas fall into two categories: account deposits and overpayments on your final bill.
Any upfront deposit you paid to open your account will be refunded if it exceeds your final bill total. Overpayments occur if you made advance payments or if your final bill is lower than expected. Both are refundable under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act.
Pro tip: Request your refund in writing via the eService Centre or email so you have a record. Verbal requests are harder to follow up if the refund is delayed.
Appliance return refunds
Towngas's appliance terms state that returns are accepted only with written consent and only if the item is undamaged and complete. If a return is approved, Towngas will process the refund within 4 weeks of receiving the returned appliance.
Returned items must be unused, in original packaging, and include all freebies (manuals, screws, etc.). If any component is missing or the item shows wear, Towngas may deduct the retail value from your refund. Request an itemised deduction statement if this happens; Stopee advises pushing back if the deduction seems unfair.
What delays refunds and how to escalate
Refunds are delayed when Towngas cannot verify your address, has questions about your final bill, or processes paperwork slowly. Contact Towngas within 2 weeks of your disconnection date to confirm refund status.
If Towngas does not refund you within 6 weeks, escalate to CASE (Consumers Association of Singapore) or file a complaint with the CCCS. Both agencies can pressure the company to settle.

When to cancel vs. stay with towngas
Cancel Towngas if you are relocating, switching to a competitor with lower rates, or no longer need gas. Stay if Towngas offers competitive tariffs, reliable service in your area, and no better alternatives exist.
Compare Towngas rates against City Energy or other local suppliers before cancelling. Switching can save 10-20% depending on your consumption and the provider.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancelling is stressful, and small errors can delay your refund or cause unexpected charges. Here's what Stopee has seen go wrong-and how to protect yourself.
Mistake 1: not providing two working days' notice
Towngas requires at least two working days' notice before disconnection. If you give one day's notice on a Friday, Towngas will not disconnect until the following Wednesday. Plan ahead to avoid being charged for days you cannot use the service.
Mistake 2: incorrect correspondence address on file
If your address in Towngas's system is outdated or spelled wrong, your final bill and refund will go to the wrong place. Verify your address matches your current residence before submitting your cancellation request.
Pro tip: Log into the eService Centre and check your profile address before cancelling. Update it if needed; this single step prevents lost refunds.
Mistake 3: missing the disconnection appointment
If you miss the scheduled disconnection visit and do not reschedule, Towngas may charge you for additional days of supply. Confirm the appointment details in writing and set a reminder 48 hours before.
Mistake 4: not reviewing your final bill
Final bills sometimes contain errors: incorrect meter readings, duplicate charges, or appliance fees that should not appear. Review within 7 days and dispute any errors in writing.
Mistake 5: assuming appliance cancellations are automatic
Towngas does not auto-cancel appliance orders; it requires written consent. Requesting cancellation verbally over the phone creates no paper trail. Always email your request so you have proof you asked.
If Towngas refuses and you do not want the appliance, you can refuse delivery and report the matter to CASE. This forces negotiation.
Your cancellation checklist
Use this checklist to ensure you do not miss any step.
- Gather account number and correspondence address.
- Log into eService Centre or book a Customer Centre visit.

- Confirm your address is correct in Towngas's system.
- Set a reminder for the disconnection appointment (48 hours before).
- Allow technician access on the scheduled date for final meter reading.
- Receive and review your final bill within 7-14 days.
- Dispute any errors on the final bill in writing within 7 days.
- Track refund status after 4 weeks; escalate to CASE if not received by week 6.
- For appliance cancellations: email written request and keep the response.
- If return approved: return undamaged item within stated timeframe and keep receipt.
