| Adding equipment to an
existing natural gas meter or requesting a new gas meter? You’ll
need to contact our sales department and provide the following information. The
sales representative will determine if the service line from the street
to the building is adequately sized to supply the added equipment and
if not will process a request for a larger gas service line. Also,
we’ll need to check the existing meter location to determine
if adequate space exists to install a larger or additional meter and
that all code requirements can be met at that location. If not,
the service may need to be moved to another space on the building. Lastly,
current policy is to relocate inside meters outside whenever the opportunity
presents itself. You should never install the equipment without speaking
to a sales representative first or you may incur costs that could have
been avoided.
Here is the information that is needed.

Please contact the sales department at least 8 weeks
in advance of the date the equipment needs to be operational in
the event that the natural gas service line needs to be replaced.
If the service line is adequate, but a meter needs to be upgraded
or added, we’ll need 4 weeks to design, order and install
the meter equipment.

meters are provided as an example only. You must call the sales
department to confirm the requirements. The wall space requirement
is for the meter installation only. Code requires that the
