GAS Meter standing charge

[han7681]

Hi there,
I’ve recently moved into a new business premises and noticed we’re not using any gas.


Just wondering—is it worth removing the gas meter to avoid the standing charges? Or would it be better to leave it in place to skip the hassle and cost of removing and reconnecting it later?


Also, could you let me know what the charges are for removing and reconnecting the meter?


Thanks a lot!

Gas standing charges can be quite high, we pay 56p per day but charges of £2-£3 per day are not unusual.

We were in a similar position when moving into our premises a while back. 5 year lease, gas meter in place but supply capped - we have no need to reconnect it.

To avoid hassle with the landlord, and meter removal costs, we pay 24p per day standing charge with BG Lite. A minor annoyance, but I have learned to live with it.
