Temperature fluctuations can damage gas meters: SaskEnergy
As spring approaches and temperatures begin fluctuating, SaskEnergy is warning homeowners to be careful of damage to their natural gas meters and rooftop heating equipment.
Crews are called out every year to repair damage to equipment that could have been easily avoided, SaskEnergy Spokesperson Casey MacLeod said.
“Each year, particularly after heavy snowfall like we just had over the weekend, we seem to get calls,” MacLeod said. “It is usually people who may have run into their meter with a snowblower or bobcat.”
MacLeod said some homeowners are unaware of where their natural gas meters are located, and pile huge amounts of snow over them.
