How can I physically determine if my National Grid gas meter is set up for wireless meter reading? Does anyone know what to look for? Also, if we do have one, how do they read it – inside the house, outside the house, or just driving by?<\/p>\n
Here’s the story: About a year ago I took over handling the gas meter readings in our Brooklyn two-family home. (The family member who had handled it for decades was no longer able to.) No one’s around during the days\/times National Grid is supposed to come around to take the reading, so the readings on our bills have either been ‘customer’ (where we phone it in) or ‘estimated’ (when we didn’t get around to phoning it in.)<\/p>\n
Suddenly we received a bill with an ‘actual’ reading that was way the hell off. National Grid to their credit corrected the error, but the customer service rep said their must be a problem with our wireless gas meter (either it needs calibration or the battery died.) She insisted their records showed we had one.<\/p>\n %<\/span><\/span> | %<\/span><\/a> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" How can I physically determine if my National Grid gas meter is set up for wireless meter reading?
