National Grid And Gas Meter Replacement Question

[Bob]

Hello,

Just thought I'd ask here and see how you other folks are handling this
"annoyance".

Live in a Suburb of Boston, and have National Grid for our gas service.

They have been after me the last few weeks to allow their service man to
replace our gas meter.
Very hard for me to take a morning or afternoon off, now.
They only schedule as "sometime in AM", or "sometime in afternoon".

Also, I don't want my wife to be without heat for the hour it will take
them to do it.
Really surprised that they even want to in the winter.

They keep saying it's a Mass State requirement, has to be done, etc.

Anyway, what happens if I just tell them "no, until Spring time" ?
Any ramifications if I do ? What can they do; anything ?

Any thought would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob

I might suggest reporting these to the fire department, who are
probably more concerned with public safety, and should have a bit
more leverage with the gas company, as well as getting these
incidents logged on the record.
