Our engineering department may contact you to discuss and/or schedule a site visit meeting to discuss the location of the meter(s), the service line route, the load sheet and easements. If an easement is required, you are responsible for providing the deed to the engineer that scheduled your site visit.

Meter sets and Inspections
CenterPoint Energy may not install and/or connect meter(s) at time of service installation. Before we can connect you to CenterPoint Energy's natural gas and/or electric system, a house line inspection from your city or county may be required. A credit check and deposit may also be required before meter(s) are connected. If you are in an area that requires an inspection (see list below), you are responsible for contacting the county or city to set up the inspection. The inspector will contact CenterPoint when the inspection is complete. If your area does not require a county inspection, contact CenterPoint Energy at 1-800-990-1930 to have a meter(s) installed once your plumber and/or electrician have completed their work.
