Homeowner needs to determine the most cost-effective and simplest gas line upgrade to support a large outdoor kitchen addition but cannot get clear guidance from utility company.
The utility company's online portal is designed for mega projects (mBTU scale) and doesn't offer guidance for residential load calculations, leaving the homeowner without a clear path to assess options like meter upgrade, pressure increase, or second meter.
