National Grid Metering Exchange Programme?

I've had a letter from National Grid Metering advising me that my gas meter needs changing to an updated one, which is a free of charge service.

This is their website

http://www.nationalgrid.com/uk/metering/PME/faq.htm

Has anyone come accross them before? Are they genuine? Should I accept a new meter?

My concerns are the letter came to my address, but did not have my name on it. Plus I find it strange the letter came from them, and not from British Gas.

Thanks.

    Transco is part of National Grid. They own the gas main and most gas meters.

    British Gas is a gas supplier who rip people off by selling boilers and central heating for 3-4 times the price that anyone else will do it for.

    I have just had notification of an electric meter change. It isn't by my supplier but Scottish Power who must have infrastructure responsibility in the NW.

    Transco no longer exists.

    National grid undertakes metering work for meter asset managers so yes,its legit.
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..
