![]() ![]() They responded after a few days and put me on their schedule for an upgrade.Īfter some research I decided on the Mr. I stated that i would need a new one anyone on the account of the old meter only supplying 175 CF/H when I am eventually upgrading everything in the house to NG. I found my suppliers request documents for getting a new meter put in. Quite the contrary to what I had read online, where even one molecule of gas leaving would cause the gates of hell to open and consume me. After a quick call to the provider they came out and explained that a little bubbling leak was “no big deal”. It was old, rusted, and the shut-off valve on the supplier’s side leaked. I ran the NG line along the outside of the house. The gas meter was on the same side of the house as the garage. ![]() From his reaction what I had in store was mostly above and beyond the requirements laid out by Indiana code. I consulted with my NG provider, laying out my plan and asking for advice. I decided I would be able to teach myself how to run NG by mitigating the risks through education.

Electric units were cheaper and easier to install (running electrical wire is trivial compared to LP/NG) but would cost more to run because electricity is more expensive per BTU in my area. I wanted to install a garage heater, but wasn’t sure which route to take: natural gas, propane, or electric. My garage was reaching near freezing temperatures and I found it not very fun to be working in the garage having to wear a winter coat and gloves. ![]()
