We just put in a new pool in January. So when we were building this pool our pool company told us that we needed to change our gas meter to a 2lb meter to accomedate our pool heater and our gas firepit. Our pool is ~ 23k. The pool co. told us they rec. all their customers do this so there is enough pressure to heat pool/spa and firepit (he went into detail about our furnace being damaged, etc..). We were told we would have to pay extra for this meter to be changed and installed. We paid $350 for this. Just got my first gas bill and I am being charged extra just to have this meter. It's called a combined pressure factor at a rate of 1.14020 per CCF. Anyone heard of this? I am beyond mad. Centerpoint claims my pool company should have disclosed these extra fees. My pool contractor says he has never heard of such a thing and has had customers upgrade for past 15 yrs. Centerpoint claims their rep. would have spoken to our contractor to decide what type meter would be put in. My contractor says he has never - ever spoken to anyone about the meters. There is alot of finger pointing going on. So in addition to the large sum of $ to get this meter put in, I am going to have to pay an extra fee per month which will result in hundreds of dollars each year. Thoughts? Anyone heard of this or dealt with this? I have no idea where to go from here. Thanks
