Gas Meter Installation & Relocation

Gas meter installation and relocation is a highly regulated task in Ontario — one that requires a licensed gas contractor working in coordination with your utility provider and complying with TSSA (Technical Standards and Safety Authority) requirements. Modern Home Energy provides professional gas meter installation and relocation services for Oshawa and Durham Region homeowners and contractors undertaking renovations, new builds, and utility upgrades.

Licensed Gas Meter Services

Gas meter work is not a DIY project — Ontario law requires all gas work to be performed by a licensed gas technician. Modern Home Energy holds the required TSSA licensing to perform all phases of residential gas meter work, from initial installation on a new home to relocation for a basement renovation or addition.

New construction — connecting a new home to Enbridge Gas distribution

Landscaping or driveway projects that require moving the meter to comply with clearance requirements

TSSA Compliance & Permits — Why It Matters

Improper gas meter installation creates serious safety risks including gas leaks, pressure failures, and carbon monoxide hazards. The TSSA requires all gas work to be performed and inspected by licensed contractors, and utility companies will not reconnect gas service after work that has not been properly permitted and inspected. Working with a licensed contractor like Modern Home Energy protects you, your family, and your home’s insurance coverage.
