January Featured Articles:
North Texas experienced remarkable growth in 2020, and this kept CoServ’s Construction Management Team busy: CoServ’s combined electric and gas meter count surged past 400,000 in 2020. In October, CoServ had already added more electric meters than in all of 2019 and, by year’s end, on pace for a record number of electric meters set; CoServ Gas was on pace to add 7,000 meters in 2020, about the same as in 2019.
COVID-19 may have kept CoServ’s Customer Care Specialists away from the office for most of 2020, but while they worked from home they answered more than 90,000 service-related calls.
In a tech-driven industry, CoServ still steps up to serve gas customers. Gas meter readers perform an essential function, walking to every house and business in the heat, the cold, the rain and all other weather conditions. The job also has its share of dangerous situations involving dogs and, sometimes, homeowners.
Because gas leaks and power outages don’t occur on a set schedule, a CoServ crew member could be dispatched to your neighborhood in the middle of the night. Gaining access to gas lines and transformers can be complicated if they are located behind a locked fence or within a gated community.
