How do I read my gas meter?

Reading a gas meter is a straightforward process that allows customers to monitor their gas consumption. Philadelphia Gas Works utilizes several types of meters, but most residential meters are either digital or dial meters. For a digital meter, you only need to read the numbers displayed on the screen. These are typically shown in a straightforward format, representing your current gas usage in cubic feet or therms. For dial meters, you will observe multiple dials that typically run from left to right. You should read each dial separately, taking note of the position of the pointer on each dial. If the pointer is between two numbers, record the lower number. If the pointer is directly on a number, look at the next dial to the right; if it is at zero or below, you can take the indicated number as your reading. If you are unsure of the specific type of meter you have or need assistance, it can be helpful to refer to the information provided on the Philadelphia Gas Works website for further instructions.
