  • Why can’t I restore my gas supply?

    Does your gas supply come back on but then turn off again? If so, your meter may be in ‘Overload’. We understand that this can be frustrating, however the meter does this as a safety precaution to prevent gas leaking into your home. To restore your gas supply, you’ll need to ensure that all the gas appliances in your home are switched off at the wall – the meter will then be ready for you to turn the supply back on. Check out the video below to find out how to solve the ‘Overload’ issue.
