Call them back, and let them know that your "elderly mother or father" is moving in on {insert date here}, that they have medical/health equipment which runs on electricity, and you need gas for preparing their special needs diet. For their health and safety, they need to turn on the service by that date.
If you tell this to them with confidence you will be placed on a standby list and should have service within 2 days. If the first line of customer service gives you any trouble, don't argue with them, just make sure you have their full name and title, then ask to be immediately transferred to their supervisor.
