Dumb question re gas and electric meters

AmyRob04

Are they the same meter or two separate meters. As I sit here wasting my last vacation day waiting for PSE&G to show up, rob just remembered that we have a meter outside - lo and behold, I looked, and we do. But there is also a PSE&G meter in the basement. Is the one in the basement gas and outside, electric? I'm going to be really pissed if they haven't been reading our meter and I just wasted half a day on them...

I've been wondering the same thing. We have one outside and one in the basement. I'm curious to hear the answers. Can you take a cell phone pic of the basement one and compare it to the outside one? I've been meaning to do that as soon as I'm home during daylight hours.

I'm almost positive there are two different meters - one for gas and one for electric. Unless your house is all electric you have to have one for each because they are obviously different things and each is "counted" differently.

We have two meters, but both are outside.

they look different, which makes me think me is gas and the other electric. The one in the basement has four little skinny dial thingies and the one outside has five plus a big rotating disc. The one in the basement says PSE&G, the one outside does not.

ok so it was definitely the gas in the basement. I asked the guy if I could move it and he said to call PSE&G and ask about the device that allows them to zap it from outside, they'll install it for free.

We had that in our old house.

it should make a mention of cubic feet or killowatts or whatever. our gas meter is outside, our water meter is inside but has something they zap on the outside, and the electric is actually on the end of our street with everyone elses.
