Peoples will be replacing meters for customers beginning in August 2024.
Introducing Your New Intelis 250 Meter
How will the Intelis 250 meters benefit me?
The Intelis 250 meter has new, state-of-the-art safety features which enable the meter to automatically shut off the gas if it detects unusually high volumes of gas, or extreme high temperatures. While all meters are safe, this new feature adds an additional layer of protection. Switching to these meters is a routine process and part of our comprehensive plan to replace customer meters, with no change to your bill or routine gas service.
Who will be doing the installation work?
Peoples technicians will install the Intelis 250 meter. Our skilled technicians always travel in company vehicles and carry identification for your peace of mind. You must be home during the installation process to allow technicians to enter your home, safely turn off your appliances and replace the meter. They will shut off the gas, remove the old meter and install your new meter. The technicians will then restore gas service and relight your appliances, performing all required safety checks along the way. The process will take approximately 30-45 minutes. A Peoples representative will contact you to schedule your meter installation, or you can contact us directly at 1-800-764-0111 to request an appointment.
What happens if myself, or a service technician trigger the emergency gas shut off?
The enhanced safety technology of the Intelis 250 meter directs a valve within the meter to automatically close shut and stop the flow of gas if it detects unusually high volumes of gas, or extreme high temperatures. It is imperative that you or a qualified service technician follows the instructions and safety precautions listed at Peoples-Gas.com/Plumbers. Failure to do so may result in the temporary loss of natural gas service to your home.
Do I have to pay for this?
No, meter replacements are included with your Peoples service.
