How To Check Your Gas Meter Or MPRN Status

If you’ve moved into new premises or you're setting up a gas supply for the first time, your first step is to check your MPRN (Meter Point Reference Number). This number identifies your gas connection. You can find it on your latest gas bill, or contact the National Grid if you're unsure.

Once you've located your MPRN, it'll tell you the state of your gas meter: 

Live Your meter is active and ready to use.

You can switch suppliers or request a brand new gas meter today.

Types Of Gas Meters

There’s no ‘one size fits all’ when choosing your commercial gas meter. Although a smart gas meter would be suitable for most, there are some instances where extra money can be saved for some businesses by choosing a different type of gas meter. Here are your options: 

  • Standard Gas Meter

    Ideal for small businesses with steady usage. There’s one unit charge per kWh of gas used. This is a basic commercial gas meter and you will need to submit your readings to your supplier to ensure you’re not getting estimated billing. 

  • Commercial Smart Gas Meter

    Most small businesses will be fine with a smart gas meter. It only charges your simple unit rate no matter the time of day, and will automatically submit readings to your supplier.

  • Muti-Rate Gas Meter

    For businesses with unsociable operating hours during evenings and weekends, a multi-rate meter may offer significant savings. These are often known as Economy 7 & 10 meters. For example, you will pay a much cheaper unit rate during the evening/nighttime hours and a higher rate in the daytime.
