National Fuel owns, maintains and uses gas meters to measure how much natural gas you use. Timely meter reading ensures you get an accurate bill.

Outside meters will be read by a National Fuel representative on or about the scheduled date noted on your bill. Please make sure the path to the meter is unobstructed.

If the meter is inside, a National Fuel representative will visit your property on or about the scheduled date noted on your bill. For your safety, confirm that he or she has proper identification before letting them inside. It usually takes only a minute or two to get the reading. In addition to readings, National Fuel is required to perform periodic leakage survey and atmospheric corrosion inspections on the meter and associated piping located inside your property. When access is not provided for this purpose, National Fuel is required to notify the customer that gas service may be shut off until this safety inspection is permitted to take place.
