This National Grid policy document outlines the requirements and procedures for requesting an additional gas service for the same building or parcel of land. Generally, National Grid prefers to provide a single gas service and meter per single-family home, utilizing existing service equipment when adding new units. However, a second gas service may be permitted for detached buildings, such as accessory dwelling units (ADUs), provided there are no technical or safety concerns. The document also details customer responsibilities, including potential construction charges, the need for proper permits, and the maintenance of piping beyond the meter outlet.
