A faulty gas meter can lead to gas leaks, which can be dangerous especially when left undetected. But even if it doesn’t lead to disaster, a gas meter that’s not regulating the flow of the gas as it should could cause inefficient operation of your gas appliances.
Aside from the added costs, a faulty gas meter and suboptimal gas appliances can produce carbon monoxide—a colorless, odorless, and potentially lethal gas.
For these reasons, proper gas meter installation is important.
But if you already have a gas meter installed and you’d like to know who to call if you believe that it’s not operating properly, our friendly team at The Gas Connection has got you covered.
Contacting The Gas Connection
If you suspect you have a faulty gas meter, contact our friendly team at The Gas Connection.
It would help to prepare specific information such as your address and a brief description of the issues you’re experiencing with the meter (e.g., unusual readings, signs of damage, or irregular appliance performance.)
Once we have an initial conversation, we schedule an inspection of your gas meter as soon as possible to quickly address any necessary repairs or replacements.
The Risks of Leaving Faulty Gas Meters Unrepaired
Leaving faulty gas meters unchecked can expose you to a fine if there are any signs of clear negligence. Also, if it results in underbilling, you may have to pay for the estimated gas usage that the gas meter didn’t record properly prior to repair.
In worse situations, you may find yourself liable for repairs and damages caused by faulty gas meters. Your homeowners’ insurance might cover some of these costs, but they may also deny coverage if they see signs of your failure to maintain gas meter maintenance.
