How can a boiler remain online if the gas meter malfunctions?

In situations where a gas meter malfunctions, connecting a bottle of propane serves as an alternative fuel supply to keep the boiler operational. Propane can be used as a direct substitute for natural gas in many heating applications, including boilers. This allows for continued operation without the need for immediate repairs to the gas meter.

Using propane is beneficial because it can maintain the boiler's heating capabilities, ensuring that necessary processes can continue without significant downtime. This solution provides a practical approach in emergency situations while ensuring safety and efficiency.

In contrast, reducing the pressure of the gas is unlikely to resolve the problem caused by the meter malfunction; it could potentially lead to insufficient fuel supply for operation. Increasing the electricity supply does not address the gas issue and would not have an effect on the boiler's fuel supply. Stopping operation completely would result in downtime and loss of productivity, which is not ideal when a workaround is available, such as connecting a propane bottle.
