gas meters

Utility usage monitors

Gas meters are devices that measure the volume of natural gas consumed at a residence or business, typically installed where the gas line enters a building.

Utility companies read gas meters—now often remotely—to calculate billing.

The gas meter showed we'd used twice as much this winter.

Meter readers once visited homes monthly to record consumption.
