Meter Reading

Nicor Gas’ Meter Modernization program has upgraded 2.2 million meters across northern Illinois. These upgraded meters, which now have a small, two-way communication devices installed, provide timely and accurate data about your natural gas use, eliminating the need for estimated meter reads and ensuring you only pay for the gas you use. The ability to read meters without the need for a field visit simplifies the process of moving properties and reduces the expense and environmental impact of our service vehicles on the road.  For more information and questions on how to begin service, simply complete our start service form or call us at 888.Nicor4u (888.642.6748).
