How is my gas usage measured?

In a metered development, each property will have been fitted with a meter (normally in a box). The meter will record the amount of gas going into your home, typically in cubic metres. Within metered developments gas is piped to each home from a central storage point (this can be above ground or, as is more often the case, below ground). As a metered customer, you can enjoy all the advantages of gas with the peace of mind from knowing you will never run out, regular, planned deliveries are made by Flogas to metered developments.

We would ask that you familiarise yourself with the positioning of the meter for your property in the event that you have to turn the gas off in an emergency or wish to read your meter. Should you require a key to open your meter box please do not hesitate to contact us.
