We measure natural gas by volume in cubic meters (m3). This value is then converted to a unit of energy. The metric standard for energy content is Joule (J). Your invoice is based on the amount of energy you use and measured in Gigajoules. One (1) Gigajoule is equal to 1,000,000,000 Joules.

Egoli Gas is responsible for the maintenance and repairs of the gas service line that extends from the street to the boundary of your property. From the meter flange a registered gas practitioner will be responsible for your internal piping and needs to issue a COC and pressure test certificate to yourself and Egoli Gas prior to gas being supplied into your property. As a customer, it is your responsibility to maintain the gas piping directly after the Egoli Gas meter flange at the boundary of your property.
