The gas company?

The gas company just put contained by new gas lines on our street ending week. Yesterday our neighbor told us that the gas company was knock on our door and needed to switch our meter to the new queue. We called them & they said they necessitate to get surrounded by to do it before monday & they can solely do this between the hours of 8:30 & 4:00. Both my boyfroend & I work from 8:00 to 5:00. We don't get our break time until october & november. The gas company said we will not have service after monday if we don't agree to them in to do this work. It's not something I asked them to do why should I own to take unpaid time stale of work for them to do this? (they said it could take anywhere from 2 to 5 hours to complete)


Answers:    That's eccentric.
They can do that here without disturbing your service.
That's why we have to start putting plugged tees in instead of ells on the house side riser, so they could hold the costumer in gas pressure from compressed gas tank, while they work on meters and such.

Must be different contained by your area. Either road looks like you'll entail a mom or friend to house sit for you while the gas co. needs within.
dont you have any friends, ethnic group or neighbors that can let them surrounded by. In any case, its up to you, if you don't want the gas consequently don't let them contained by and they won't turn it on.
That sucks. What can you do though? Maybe get bad work early to congregate the gas company there and not lose out on the WHOLE time??? Good luck.
If they won't do it on a Saturday, and you can't take time sour, call the board of Public Utilities and complain roughly the inconvenience and you feel they should do it on a Saturday as you can not win off from work! You can find the tele# surrounded by your telephone book.
Why don't you brand arrangements to leave a switch with a neighbor i.e. home during the day? It's not right that you should hold to take sour work and the gas company should understand that not everyone can in recent times take bad whenever they want. They should work some extended hours to accommodate their customer's work schedules.
They're the gas company, settle someone to sit your house even if its half you days wages.

They're the gas company
bear a sick day sour you need them they don't call for you.
They can change your meter while you are not home, but they cannot turn it fund on unless someone is home for safety purposes, resembling standing pilots, for example. Just tell them it's okay to variation it and that you will turn it back on yourself when you grasp home. Then you can relight you own pilots if you have any.
