Once your meter is installed, the installer should provide you with a gas meter key. You will need this key to open your meter box if you want to turn off the gas supply or take a meter reading.
Every gas meter in Ireland is given a specific location number called a GPRN. This is to identify which meter is associated with your home’s gas usage.
If you lose your meter key or have moved into a new house and haven’t been provided with one, you can fill in your details online in this form to obtain one. Gas Networks Ireland will send you a new meter key free of charge.
You will need to provide the following information to receive a new key:
If your current meter is over 20 years old, then you can have it replaced by Gas Networks Ireland. In fact, representatives may contact you to advise you of their visit as part of their gas meter replacement programme.
The removal of the old meter and installation of the new one takes approximately 45 minutes and is completely free.
To request this service you just need to fill out the gas meter replacement form and include the following details:
Once the form is submitted, you will be contacted by Gas Networks Ireland to finalise the appointment time. Should something arise, and you need to rearrange your appointment, contact Gas Networks Ireland at 1800 427 737.
There are currently no smart meters available for gas in Ireland, although future plans include the possibility of integrating smart gas services with the existing smart electricity meters.
If your property has gas, then it stands to reason that there is a gas pipeline buried in your garden or under your driveway or patio. When considering any home improvements which require excavation work such as an extension, then it is absolutely essential that you find out where the pipeline is to move it!
Accidentally rupturing a pipeline can disrupt the supply network and cause severe injury, possibly even death. You will also be liable for any repair work to the pipeline.
To avoid such potentially dangerous situations, Gas Networks Ireland provides both a telephone number and an e-mail which you or your contractor can contact before beginning work, to find out exactly where the pipeline is.
The process for businesses to obtain a gas connection in Ireland is the same as all the above-mentioned for residential customers.
The only difference for Gas Networks Ireland business customers is the use of a different contact number of 1800 411 511. Business representatives are available Mon-Fri 09:00 – 17:30.
