Frequently Asked Questions

How much will it cost?

Each and every project is unique, so we are unable to give an immediate price. The cost can be affected by the size of the connection you need, the distance from the property to the nearest point of connection to the electricity main, and the complexity of the works.

This is a unique number that is given to differentiate and identify gas connection pipes. The format of an MPRN is quite standard and consists of between 6 and 10 numbers.

This is a unique number given to each meter to identify it. It can be found on the front of the meter.

This is the estimated annual volume of gas registered at a supply meter point by National Grid.

This is a lever or wheel before the gas meter that will allow you to isolate the gas supply to the meter in the event of an emergency.

A check to confirm that the gas connection pipe can deliver a customer’s required maximum hourly load. As part of this check, an engineer will check the pressure and ECV size.

There are several reasons why a business would want to look at a sub-metering solution, from climate change legislation and the need to be more environmentally responsible, through to production cost monitoring, or commercial tenant billing requirements.

Traditional utility bill analysis uses information that is too historical to be of benefit. Bills arrive 30-45 days after usage and are too aggregated to be of any real benefit.
Sub metering will therefore allow an organisation to address this information gap, providing granular visibility of energy use, that will allow them to drill down into a site’s consumption and effect operations past a primary billing meter.

 

Also known as a data logger, it measures your hourly consumption. Automated Meter Reading technology (AMR) is an essential tool in any energy management strategy, it allows you to monitor and track your consumption giving you the evidence you need to transform your business.

It can also be used for accurate automated billing.
