domestic cooking gas meter usageOct 22, 2012

we are a co-op which has just gotten two domestic cooking gas meters installed by ConEd; the official filing was for "domestic cooking gas meters";
my question is this: is it legal to draw any gas lines off the risers from the domestic cooking gas meters to service other gas appliances in individual lofts, such as gas-fired dryers, gas-fired fireplace, gas-fired heating stoves. Or are those domestic cooking gas meters dedicated to servicing only domestic cooking stoves?
Thank you.

domestic cooking gas meter usage - JG in NYC Oct 25, 2012

Con Ed and National Grid have different rates. If you used gas for home heating, you would have a home heating rate (lower price due to higher amount of gas usage).
I would think that your dryer, fireplace and heating stove would all be ok under your current service, assuming the piping can handle the needed volume of gas. You could check with your plumber for his opinion as well.
