Meter Reading

Our goal is to make every experience with Elizabethtown Gas an outstanding one. That includes your monthly bill, and we work hard to ensure that everys bill is accurate. Elizabethtown Gas reads residential, commercial and some industrial meters every month.  Accurate readings ensure that you are paying for the exact amount of natural gas you use, not an estimated amount. If for some reason we cannot read your meter in a given month, you will receive a system-generated bill, which is calculated by considering past usage and adjusting it for exact weather conditions. If a system-generated bill is incorrect, any overcharge or undercharge will be corrected the following month. Which means we always bill you only for the gas you actually use.  Automated Meter Reading (AMR) devices ensure your meter reading is always accurate. An AMR device allows Elizabethtown Gas employees to read your natural gas meter remotely as they drive by in specially equipped vans. Getting an AMR installed is quick and convenient. Just call us at 800.242.5830.  Youll always know when were scheduled to read your meter, because the date of our next reading is printed in the upper right corner of your bill.

Natural Gas Cooling

Natural gas cooling is ideal for commercial facilities such as supermarkets, hotels, warehouses, office buildings and institutions like hospitals, nursing homes, churches and schools. High efficiency, gas-fired cooling equipment is also an excellent choice for factories and other industrial facilities.  Three basic types of gas cooling systems are available: absorption, engine-driven and desiccant.
