My current heater is 250,000 BTU and served us well for 20 years. It has finally gone to heater heaven and the replacement I am looking at is 266,000 BTU. Is the extra 16,000 BTU negligible enough that I wouldn't need to inquire about an upgraded meter at the house?
 
The meter has to be sized for everything that can run at the same time.

What is the meter size?

What is the total load?

What is the heater distance from the meter?

What is the heater gas line size?

If the original line and meter was sized properly it will work fine.
