COSTA MESA, Calif., Sept. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Gas utility companies should be doing more to increase their communications recall with their efforts in the communities they serve as well as highlighting their extending product offerings, according to the J.D. Power 2018 Gas Utility Residential Satisfaction Study,SM released today.
"As customer satisfaction continues to increase from 2017, gas utility companies that highlight their involvement in their local communities are likely to see an increase in customer satisfaction," said Carl Lepper, Director of the Utility Practice at J.D.
