Gas meter problem

I’ve just been asked about a gas key meter that has shut itself off because of battery failure. I told her to contact her energy supplier to get it fixed. Any idea how long that takes? Eon, by the way.
No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Normally a 4 hour response.
    If you call a gas network they won’t be able to exchange this. Or at least NGN doesn’t.

    Thanks. 4 hours should be okay.

    Hello GDB2222 and sorry for the late reply - just spotted your post.

    jefaz07 is spot on. We'll attend prepayment gas meters which are off supply due to a battery failure within 4 hours of being told.

    If this is still outstanding, please talk to our specialist Prepayment Emergency Call Out (ECO) team. They're open 24 hours a day and their contact details are on our website.

    Please ignore this if already fixed and sorry again I missed your question before.
