They’ll give you detailed advice, including: open doors and windows to dissipate the gas avoid turning electrical switches on or off don’t smoke don’t use an open flame. Since 2005, our Gas Safe Registered engineers have installed and maintained more than 250,000 new gas meters. This is all done in accordance with IGEM requirements to ensure they work safely and effectively. Some meters (and related safety devices) are built to continue working efficiently without the need to disconnect and test them – i.e., less intrusive maintenance. However, some larger meters do require regular maintenance. This involves testing to confirm that they remain operational, even if they’ve not been running for years. This means the meter installation is effectively renewed whenever we do a maintenance visit. Using the correct meter type isn’t just crucial for a safe installation, but also to ensure that the meter will record energy usage accurately. By providing this service to your energy supplier, we make sure your meter will continue running safely.
