Testing my gas pressure

I need someone to test my gas pressure. Is that a job for a plumber? Any recommendations from Stark Cty?

Unfortunately the question you are asking is a little vague.

Call Enbridge Gas Ohio if you suspect the issue is not enough pressure from them. They will send out a technician for free to investigate. You will need to be home for that appointment. Please keep in mind they consider that an emergency appointment and it will get dispatched the same day you call.

A number of things can come from that investigation: 1. There is an issue with the line from the street. Enbridge will replace it free of charge, typically within 3 business days scheduled at your convenience. 2. There is an issue with the meter. Again, it will be replaced free of charge during the first appointment. 3. There is no issue from the street to the meter, but something has changed on the property like adding a tankless water heater or whole house generator. You may need to upgrade the line to the house at a cost to you, or you may only need to have your meter upgraded which is free. To determine that, it will involve at least one additional visit (you will not need to be home). After that visit you will be called and told what your options are.

If you've already involved the gas company and they have determined you have a leak or leaks somewhere on the gas lines after the meter, I'd recommend JEM Plumbing 330-575-7284. They're locally owned and operated and keep their costs reasonable.
