Over 99% of our monthly readings are actual reads taken directly from your meter by one of our meter readers, either on foot or from a vehicle using an electronic device. However, there are rare instances when an actual read is not available. When this occurs, your meter reading is estimated by Equitable Gas to calculate your monthly bill for your home or business. Estimated reads are based on the amount of gas that has been used at your home or business in the past, and on recent temperature data.
