How To Check Your Gas Meter

If you’re moving into new premises and need a gas supply, you may not know what type of gas meter you have. However, the first step should be determining your meter state.

Your first step should be identifying what gas meter type you have and the meter's state. This is commonly known as the MPRN state (Meter Point Reference Number), which assigns a unique number to identify the meter and the associated supply. If you’re unsure of your MPRN, please contact National Grid. 

Here are the states your gas meter can be in and what your next steps are:

Disconnected Your gas service cable has been removed and will require what we refer to as ‘siteworks’. Your local DNO will need to arrange a new connection installation and provide you with a new MPRN. You cannot request a new commercial gas meter or switch suppliers until you have contacted your DNO.
Removed This means that your commercial gas meter has been removed. To get back on supply, you will need to go through a two-step process. First, you will need to request a Live/Dead check. Once that step is complete, you may need something called a GT1 Survey. This is an essential test when moving into a new business premises that doesn’t have a gas meter in place, and tells you if the infrastructure is there to install a new gas connection. Once you’re all set up, this is when we can help with switching suppliers and getting a new commercial gas meter.

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

    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.
