Meter not available at the property 

 

For gas: If there’s no meter at the property, we'll arrange to fit a meter on your behalf through Gas Networks Ireland. You'll need a declaration of conformance from a Registered Gas Installer before the meter can be fitted. Your installer must also confirm that all the internal pipe work is in order before the meter can be fitted.  

If there’s no gas mains supply, you will need to contact Gas Networks Ireland to arrange connection to the network.  

 

For electricity: If there’s no meter at the property, you’ll need to contact ESB networks to have a meter installed.
