Ever had your gas meter serviced?

I've lived in my house for 20 years and this is the first time the gas company contacted me about this. Seems odd -- I'm just anxious about it. I guess the meter may be reaching the end of its useful life.

The gas company has a program which red flags abnormal usage…usually too high or too low a reading. They might send someone to check on the meter but its difficult to verify its operation. Its just cheaper for them to replace it.
Remember, it has moving parts so its bound to fail sooner or later
20 years is not uncommon for them to fail

their infrastructure is ancient all over the country. there has been major explosions in recent years. so a good thing for them to inspect\replace

They replaced them a couple years ago here. And they come out to inspect the lines etc every once in awhile.

Never really serviced but replaced after older than 10-15 years

Yes, we had a new one put in they called us made an appt. It was a smart meter many ppl tried to oppose county won. We sleep away from it & put up a shield.

They’re fairly rugged devices.

@Stereoguy they put in new meters right close to the house when they replaced them. Before the old gas meter was at the back of the backyard right flush to the fence. The reason was mostly for safety. They are responsible for the gas lines from the meter on out.

@Stereoguy that’s about as close as they can get them.
