Way, way off topic,
Our natural gas supplier is replacing meters free of charge, as part of a federally-legislated ruling to ensure accurate management. Meh. The problem is that the subcontractors doing the work are on my property , and have taken great pleasure in issuing non-conformance notices for my water heater exhaust (easy to fix), the gas supply line between the meter and the house (not easy to fix) and the pool heater (too close to the house and therefore a huge fix).
Here's the thing. All of these were to code at the time of their respective installs. It;s simply that the code has changed over time to being more onerous, and these techs are issuing these certificates willy nilly.
It would seem to me that, as long as an appliance was installed correct to code at the time, that there is no way Enbridge can force me to upgrade it to current code - it should be grandfathered. Enbridge is telling me that that is not the case, but I am figuring the gas supply line issue pertains to tens of thousands of homes. Great business for Enbridge's sub trade!
Anyone have any experience with this? Any advice would be appreciated. I am attempting to escalate the issue within Enbridge, FWIW.
thanks you in advance
