What are the steps to read my natural gas meter?

To read your natural gas meter, follow these simple steps. First, locate your meter, usually found near the gas line entrance or on an exterior wall. Next, carefully remove any debris or obstructions around the meter for easy access. Identify the measuring units displayed on the meter, such as cubic feet or therms. Read the dials or digital display from left to right, noting each number. If a dial pointer is between two numbers, write down the lower number. Record the readings in a log or take a photo for reference. Finally, subtract the previous reading from the current one to calculate your gas usage. Regular meter readings help track your consumption, enabling you to monitor and manage your natural gas usage effectively.
