Gas Meter

[Graham81]

Hello All

Not sure if this is the correct forum to post this in, but here goes.

My gas meter is situated in the corner of my living room in a small cupboard & when there is demand for gas (hot water, heating etc) the meter makes a pulsing sound, almost like a diaphragm sound. Now I just had a Worcester engineer round the other day to look at my boiler & he said that it does not sound normal & that I should get it looked at.

I was just wondering what you guys thought of this as it has done it for the last couple of years that I have lived here without any obvious problems?

Noisy meter usually indicates wear and when a meter wears it usually allows a bit more gas through than is being registered so is in the customers favour.
But if it gets excessively noisy you can call NG out to check it

Thanks for the reply. So there are no safety issues then?

Not, unless you smell gas of course.
