If you'd like to get new meters fitted, let us know which type of service you need from the table below. You can call us on 0300 30 30 635 (Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm) or email help@bulb.co.uk and we'll book an appointment for you.
The cost for the meter service can be added to your Bulb account and paid back in installments. If you're a landlord and prefer to be invoiced directly, let us know when you book the appointment.
If the meter service is for a newly-built property, or you've recently had gas installed, you'll need to contact your Distribution Network Operator (DNO) and have them raise an MPAN or MPRN. Find your DNO using your postcode.
