Your meter is the point where natural gas comes into your home. Please treat it with care.
Here are some safety tips to help keep your gas meter in good working condition this winter:
To prevent accidental fires, please avoid storing paint stripper, bleach, or salt for melting ice near the furnace.
The chlorine or fluorine in these items can lead to furnace corrosion.
Also, vacuum around the furnace - especially around the burner compartment - to prevent dust and soot buildup.
To help prevent carbon monoxide in your home or office, remove excessive accumulation of snow and ice on the exhaust and air vents of your gas appliances.
