an old house, gas water heater is 1 foot from the gas meter. Do we have to relocate heater for safety reason?
Posted on | April 29, 2010 | 1 Comment
A very old rental, got a notice from the Gas company indicating the gas meter is too close to the water heater. This is the original blueprint of the house (properly permitted when it was built). Do we have to relocate the water heater? Or are we grandfather out of the current coding requirement? Don’t anything about construction. need help.

If the Gas Company has required it to be moved, then you need to move it. If you don’t, they will suspend your gas service. I think the main reason is due to the house being a rental.
