How do I read my gas meter?

Reading a gas meter is a straightforward process that involves noting the numbers displayed on the dial or digital readout. Most residential gas meters in the Southern Nevada area have a series of dials, typically five or six, or they may be equipped with a digital display. If your meter has dials, begin by observing the direction in which the hands turn. The larger dials generally move counterclockwise, while smaller dials turn clockwise. It is important to read each dial from left to right, recording the number that the hand points to. If the hand is between two numbers, use the lower number. Be aware that if the hand is pointing directly at a number, you may need to check the dial to the right; if that hand has not yet passed zero, you should record the lower number. In contrast, if you have a digital gas meter, it will display a numerical reading directly without needing to interpret dials. This reading often needs to be noted in units of measurement specified by Southwest Gas, usually expressed in hundreds or thousands of cubic feet.
