Meter Express Set Process:
Our Express Set process allows installation of gas meters for new residential construction projects shortly after the new service line work is complete.
Advantages of Express Set:
- Eliminates unnecessary wait time and scheduling headaches
- Allows you to install fuel lines at your convenience
- Allows for temporary heat during construction
If your new construction project meets the Express Set requirements, you’ll automatically receive this service. Once you install the fuel line and connect it to the meter, you can establish gas to all the connected natural gas appliances.
Express Set Requirements:
An Express Set is available to new residential and small commercial construction projects. Some restrictions apply when a site requires a larger meter and/or pressure that vary from our standard ¼ psig.
