If you own or manage a multifamily complex with a single building gas meter or have underground gas piping facilities on your customer houseline, consider converting your property to individual unit gas meters. Individual unit gas meters give your residents the ability to control their own energy usage, and transfer operating costs from your business to your customer while encouraging tenants to conserve energy. They will also allow you to streamline your property operations if you’re currently managing underground piping.

If you’re interested in converting your property to individual unit gas meters, Washington Gas can help.

We will review the current gas facilities on your property, evaluate your options and assist you with engineering new metering designs to offer your residents the benefits of energy-efficient natural gas. It’s that easy. The consultation is completed for you at no cost.
