TheMitchells Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Just a quick question regarding a new suppy of gas. We are planning to change the central heating of our bungalow (which elderly parents are living in) from electricity (economy 7 and night storage heaters) to radiators and a gas combi boiler in the summer when parents will not miss the heating. we are also planning a wet room extension which hopefully will start at the end of this month when planning comes through. My thought is to get the gas brought to the property at the same time as the building work is going on, with any trenches dug at the same time as the foundations. the neighbours gas supply comes from the road to the front of the property and so I would expect ours to do the same. If we organise the gas pipes to be brought to the bungalow and a meter installed, is it okay to then leave it for a few month till we do the rest of the work? What exactly should I sort out now and to what point so that we can then leave it till summer? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottishjohn Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 If like here you can have a buried gas meter away from house or on the wall what ever you like --so they can just bring it into the plot and cap it off till you ready to connect ,just ask them . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nod Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 We did exactly that when we brought the electricity in We got wind of a road widening scheme that would have meant us having to pay for a road closure So we had it run into the box at the side of the house and capped What would say is don’t have a meter installed They were pretty keen to put a metre in but we would have been charged quarterly We had the gas there capped for 15 months When we wanted a meter it was one phone call and two days later we were up and running 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
