Arizona Master Gas Meter Contractor
If you own or manage a multi-unit complex, resort, RV park, private or corporation business with a master gas meter, consider converting your current master meter gas system to individual gas metering.
Individual gas meters allow you to NOT have the maintenance requirements, documentation requirements, and the liability of an Arizona Corporation Commission governed gas system.
As a licensed gas master meter contractor, RP Gas has the engineers to design the new gas system with individual meters with the certified natural gas technicians and the installation construction crews to decrease your gas system downtime during this conversion process.

- Less office clerical documentation requirements for your gas system
- Maximizes margins on rental return rates with fewer repairs and attention need for your gas system.
- Decreases possibility of future leaks and liability
- Eliminate the shut down time of the gas system without ACC required pressure test in the event of maintenance and repairs
- Safe and peace of mind with a lower maintenance gas system

AZCC Master Meter Policy Update 2019
In November 2018 the Corporation Commission voted to approve and adopt a new policy regarding natural and propane gas master meter systems throughout the state. The new policy requires existing master meter systems to either remain or come fully into compliance with state and federal regulations or be converted to a traditional gas system operated by a regulated public service corporation. RP Gas Can help with this process. If operators choose to come into compliance with state and federal regulations, they will have a five-year grace period during which they may not be fined for noncompliance, however, the Corporation Commission retains its authority to shut down systems that pose an immediate threat to public safety.
There are currently over 900 gas-related master meter systems throughout the state. They are run by the owners of the property on which they exist, indirectly making property owners gas operators, bringing with that the burden of complying with stringent state and federal regulations. Many of these master meter systems are antiquated and nearing the end of their lifecycles, leading to potential health and safety risks. When such systems go down, it does not impact just a few users, but the entire network of the system, leaving Arizonans without critical utility services such as hot water and heat. RP Companies can help your company thru this process.
