Last week we reminded customers that we conduct routine gas safety inspections which may require entry into their premises. Below is some information about this process to assist with supporting constituents:
- Con Edison is required by New York State Law to perform an inspection of gas service lines.
- To properly conduct these inspections, we may need access to the home or building. We will make multiple attempts to perform the inspection. If Con Edison or our qualified contractors are unable to perform the inspection, a technician will leave a drop card behind asking the customer to schedule an appointment.
- We do not charge a fee for the inspection, but customers can be charged up to $500 per meter per month if we cannot complete the inspection after multiple attempts.
- Con Edison or a qualified contractor hired by Con Edison, will perform this work. Our approved contractors are Reconn Utility Services, Storti Quality Services, and Alisto. Con Edison employees and contractors will carry a Con Edison photo ID. For your safety, if you would like to verify the status of the employee or contractor at your door, please call 1-800-75 CONED (1-800-752-6633). *National Grid customers should call 1-718-643-4050.
Frequently Asked Questions and Answers about gas line inspections, along with gas safety and additional information is available at Gas Service Line Inspections | Con Edison.
If your office has any questions, please let us know. We would be happy to assist.
Thank you,
