It's looking like I will have to upgrade my meter. Can someone here, with expertise, confirm my calculations:

Gas Line is 1" for a total of 84'.
The 1" line is run to each appliance (under the house) and then converted and passed up the wall to the appliance:
1/2" for furnace @ 3'
3/4" for stove @ 1'
3/4" for Tankless @ 4'

Furnace: 100,000 BTU
Tankless: 199,900
Stove: 56,200 (all 5 burners)
Total 356,100
divide / 1000
356.1 Cubic Feet per hour (Max Demand)

Meter 210 C.F.H (@ 1/2" Diff ??)

PG&E Meter:


Question:
Is it ok for me to complete my installation before calling PG&E? I'm trying to get this done so that I can schedule sheet rock installation. I won't use the furnace for about 6 months, and I can refrain from using the stove and definitely will not be using all 5 burners at the same time. I also don't want the project to be in a state of disorder when PG&E comes out as they may inspect the appliances.
