Gas Meter Installation

Mario Morales
Posted

If anyone could help me here, I would really appreciate it. I have a 3 unit that only has one gas meter and that makes me include utilities in rent. I would like to change that and have each unit have its own meter. I need 2 gas meters installed one would go in the basement for the "summer kitchen". THANKS EVERYONE!!!!

From my experience in propane, but never having dealt with Natural Gas, I'm about 99% sure you would have to call the gas company that provides you the gas to come work on the gas line and get the separate meters set up on the house. We were not allowed to work on another company's system or touch their work without it being a liability on us, so my first thought is that may be the case since the gas company owns the gas line and meters to your house. Once the meters are all hooked up, licensed plumbers (not the gas company) should be able to run the lines into the house to get everything tied in properly so they're all metered and you can add in the summer kitchen.
