GAS METER UPGRADE IN BETHESDA, MD
Our company offers an installation of natural gas powered generators that use a sizeable amount of gas volume when they are operating, so it’s necessary to have a gas meter with enough volume to operate the generator and the other gas appliances in the house. If yours doesn’t then it might be time for a gas meter upgrade in Bethesda, MD.
The gas meter typically has a plate on the front that lists its capacity in cubic feet/hour. One cubic foot per hour of gas volume equals approximately 1,000 BTUs. Total up the number of BTUs on the existing gas appliances and add to it the gas usage of the desired generator unit and thus the required meter capacity can be determined.

I wanted to thank you for all the work you have done for us at both of our houses this past year. During a stressful time, you always arrived with solutions and returned again and again to address all the other emergencies and electrical surprises. Your talents and customer service are so appreciated by Kip and me and I just wanted to let you know how terrific it is knowing you are there to rely on. Your professionalism, candor and expertise make our lives better truly!
I wanted you to know that last night at the Finance Committee Meeting I complimented you and told everyone how fantastic you had been throughout our “water damage emergency”. You really were super and your loyalty, support and guidance meant a great deal to me. St. Paul’s Rock Creek Parish is lucky to have you as our electrician.
Thank you! You were fast, professional, courteous and you locked the house securely when you left. Much obliged!
Many thanks to you...and Patrick for getting us ship-shape and ready for the holidays. I've been waiting for Christmas lights for 25 years! And it's good to be able to see in the basement and I know all the plugs are properly installed and grounded. All the best to you.
I just wanted you to know how happy my wife and I were with the electrical service you provided for us recently. You were recommended by some friends and you more then lived up to their recommendation. The work you did the living area of the house - mostly changing the outlets to the 3-prong type- was neat and professional. I particularly appreciate the way you ran the wire on the outside of the house behind the downspout and along a ledge so that it wouldn't show and that you ran the other exterior wires through metal casing so that they wouldn't be exposed. The D.C. government inspector approved your heavy-up with no problems and PEPCO came shortly thereafter to finish their part of the job. Thanks again for the efficient, professional, and reasonably-priced service you performed.
After a series of power outages in our area, I decided to by a back up generator which keeps my family comfortable and allows my home business to continue operating. Walt recommended equipment and supervised the entire installation from delivery to approval by the local utility. He was on site when needed and was available for follow-up questions. I've used Walt's company for years for installation of ceiling fans to additional lighting and electrical repairs. Walt always gives me a day and time for service. it's usually the same day. He is prompt and efficient and his price is competitive and fair.
Very easy to work with, attentive to detail, understood the work I explained. Put in a better switch than I had before.
Truck lighting, scorces, new A/C unit. Excellent. Well Meyer listened to us and found a way to meet our needs, which were a bit unusual.
Numerous recessed lighting fixtures installed throughout the house (~15-20). Ceiling fan installed. Lighting installed in ~five closets. Meyer Electric did a big job for us, including electrical, lighting, and ceiling fan work. Everything went very well, and we were pleased with the work. It is not about six years later, and everything still works great. One thing that was really great about what Walt Meyer did was that he did his best not to create a lot of holes in the wall or other damage that would have to be repaired. He installed a lot of lights (and a fan) and there was very little that had to be done "afterwards" to fix any holes, etc. We were having a painter come in afterwards, so we were prepared to have him patch thing up, but he hardly had anything to do. Meyer Electric did a great job with our project, and we would definitely use them again. In fact since this job was done, we have!
Only Hire a Professional for Your Home’s Aluminum Wiring Conversion
An aluminum wiring conversion should only be performed by a licensed professional electrician to ensure high-quality and safety. The process of replacing aluminum wiring with copper wiring in your home can be complicated. Don’t assume you’ll be saving money by hiring an inexperienced electrician because the work might not be done properly, costing you money in the long run.

Getting Your Home the Right Standby Generator Size – Part 2
Part 2 will discuss Kilowatts & ATS, Running Watts & KVA, and Selecting a Standby Generator.
Getting Your Home the Right Standby Generator Size – Part 1
Losing power from the utility can’t be avoided, and it is happening more frequently and lasting for longer periods. Big storms cause almost 60% of these blackouts, while more than 30% will result from equipment failure because of our country’s outdated and overworked electrical grid.
Rewire Your Home for Safety and Greater Capacity – Part 2
As discussed in Part 1, replacing your home’s wiring will be an extensive project, but it is often necessary to ensure your family’s safety. Upgrading the wiring of your house may also be necessary because insurance carriers refuse to provide coverage because of unsafe wiring. Part 2 will cover Warning Signs, Aluminum Wiring, and Increasing Capacity.
Rewire Your Home for Safety and Greater Capacity – Part 1
Replacing and upgrading the wiring of your home will be a big project, but it is often required for safety reasons. If you’re planning a remodel or renovation, rewiring should also be considered because including this during the process will save money. It also allows a homeowner to bring the electrical system up to code while increasing capacity to meet modern demands. Modernizing a house’s electrical system will require a licensed electrical contractor.
When Upgrading is Necessary
An upgrade of electrical wiring will be inconvenient for those living in the home. However, it may be needed to ensure safety, improve performance, and attain the normal resale value of your home. Fortunately, working with experienced electricians on creating a good plan before starting a project will lessen how disruptive it will be to your family.
If lights turn on and the appliances and electronics get power, does it mean your electrical system is working well? Although functional, your home’s wiring may be dated and degraded, especially if your house was built more than 40 years ago.
Old Wiring Safety Problems
According to National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA) research, the top cause of home fires is defective wiring. The probability that the wiring of an older home is faulty and unsafe grows as time passes, and regular safety inspections should be performed by a licensed electrician.
Older equipment such as knob and tube wiring from the beginning of the 20th century may not be dangerous even though they are obsolete. What makes dated wiring problematic is that they are no longer up to code and their components may have deteriorated in such a way that they compromise safety. For example, wire insulation gradually degrades as time passes to the point an electrical fire may result from exposed wiring.
Part 2 will cover Warning Signs, Aluminum Wiring, and Increasing Capacity.
