Greetings,
I am completing a basement conversion. I have a compact, silent, electronic electric meter down there, but the gas meter is one of the chunky mechanical types (manufacturer "Schlumberger"). The problem is that it can be rather noisy, giving off a high-pitched whine sound when gas is being used and making a knocking sound, presumably as the meter turns.
My question is whether this is serviceable or whether the only way to eliminate such a noise would be to replace the gas meter. It states on the meter that it is the "Property of Transco".
I assume that neither is an acceptable DIY job, given the nature of working with gas and my inexperience in such matters.
That being the case, who would I contact about either route (if applicable)?
TIA.
