Benefits of Advanced Meters

Advanced Meters can help you manage energy costs, reduce impact on the environment, and more.

By upgrading natural gas meters with Advanced Meter technology, we have empowered customers to save energy and money, and reduce your impact on the environment. Advanced Meter technology also offers enhanced privacy and security, operational savings, and the ability to set up Bill Tracker Alerts.

Achieve Your Savings Goals

With the Advanced Meter upgrade, you can:

  • View your daily and hourly gas usage and costs with our Ways to Save tool
  • Set a savings goal and obtain personalized tips on how to achieve it
  • Analyze your gas usage and costs over time
  • Sign up for no-cost weekly billing updates with Bill Tracker Alerts

Additional Benefits

In addition to helping you manage your energy usage and achieve your savings goals, Advanced Meter technology provides the following benefits:

Privacy and Security

In the past, you have had to provide us with a key to your gate, leave latches unlocked or confine your dogs to allow meter reading. Now, you only need to provide entry for periodic maintenance. In addition, with an Advanced Meter, data from the gas meter is encrypted to increase privacy and security.

Operational Savings

Because they reduce the need for manual meter reading and improve operational efficiency, Advanced Meters lead to operational savings, which will be passed along to you in overall rates.

Reducing CO2 Emissions

The Advanced Metering system will allow us to remove 1,000 service vehicles off the road each day, eliminating close to 7 million miles driven each year to read meters. Through customer conservation efforts and with fewer vehicles on the road, we expect to reduce CO2 emissions each year by approximately 140,000 tons.
