Keep vents and meters clear

Remember to keep natural gas and electric vents and meters clear of ice and snow for safety and accessibility.

  • Use your hand or a brush to gently remove snow from the meter.
  • Remove icicles that may drip water onto the meter.
  • Don’t bury meters when using a snow blower or shovel.
  • Keep the walkway clear of snow and ice. It helps our technicians replace, repair or read the meter and helps first responders gain access to shut it off during an emergency.

January is the highest month for CO poisoning in the U.S. You can’t smell, taste or see CO, which is why Illinois law requires houses and apartments to have a CO alarm within 15 feet of all sleeping areas.
