To assure uninterrupted gas service and safety, check your gas meter and any other outdoor natural gas equipment during the winter months to make sure they are free of ice and snow.
Use a broom to gently remove any snow that accumulates. If you find ice on the regulator vent, call Ameren. We will schedule an appointment to check your meter set. Do not attempt to use snow shovels or other tools to remove the ice.
Keep in mind that ice build-up often comes from above—from icicles on roofs, eaves and trees that drip water onto the meter. So “look up” and check the meter regularly.
If you have any appliances with direct vent piping through an exterior wall, make sure the vent is clear of snow to prevent the build-up of dangerous carbon monoxide poisoning.
