A worker from National Grid knocked on our door around 11:30 a.m. today, no one was home (we have a security camera).
They left a little "Sorry we missed you" card on our door, and it basically told us we need to schedule an appointment with them or we will face fines and could lose our gas service if we don't.
I dunno, I am not really OK with the idea of anyone showing up at my door without an appointment insisting they need to come inside of my house unless it's clearly an emergency. So, even if I had been home and answered the door, I probably wouldn't have let them in anyway.
I am definitely gunna call the number they left and schedule an appointment, but it just seems like a weird way to go about doing things, especially in today's world. The house next to ours was recently sold and is undergoing quite a few renovations right now, could that be why we were flagged?
Just wondering, I have only been a homeowner in Nassau County for about a year and a half now so I don't know if this is a normal occurrence for homeowners here.
We had an inspection about a year ago. We got a postcard to schedule an appointment and all checked out (I called the phone number on my bill and they use another company to inspect). The representative on the phone said they needed access inside but when the guys came they just looked at the meter outside. We have a locked gate so they needed access from me to get into my yard.
If I remember correctly they want to inspect every 2 years. I was surprised we needed an inspection as we converted about 2 years prior.

What kind of drugs are you hiding?? What's the big deal?
Apparently it's now a NY state requirement. I got a similar letter from Con Ed in NYC and posted in the NYC forum where there is some more information in this thread:
Do you still have an old meter that needs to be manually read? That was the last time NatGrid requested to come into our house - to convert it. That was at least 4 years ago. It's like the water meter - a remote reading from outside whereas before I inputted it into their website (for accuracy).
It should just be for people with their meters inside the house. Ours is in the basement and it took them about 5 minutes to look at it and make sure it wasn't falling apart.
Speaking of which, if you are sitting on the fence about converting to gas, do it now. AOC-type Libs are killing pipelines and National Grid will likely put a moratorium in place after May 15. Google ConEd and the Westchester debacle for more info.
Nope. We have a gas line to the house but it's only for our dryer and stove as far as I know. We have oil heat.
