Has anyone been through something similar? Does this sound like the normal
process for a gas service replacement process? I'm basically curious about
the "interior testing" part since it really has nothing to do with the
replacement of the exterior service. I guess they are just being "nice" and
making sure there are no explosions imminent, right?


I'd ask the guy who told you that to put it in writing and/or ask
the gas company what is up with this. Those would be the ones who would
really know. Even if it happened (say) in California, doesn't mean that
it works the same way in where ever you are.


My first thought, is that I don't really like the
idea of uninvited people in my home. If I'm the
guy who calls the curtains company, bring em all
in. But someone else decides to come in and test
my pipes, well, not liking that idea.

They didn't "decide to come and test my pipes", they asked for an
appointment.

I'd call
the gas company, see if this is policy. Or maybe
a freelance burglar team scoping out the job.

Did you miss the part where I said they've been working on replacing the
main for the last couple of weeks? If they are a freelance team scoping out
the job, their heavy equipment, plastic gas pipe, crusher run to refill
holes in the asphalt, hazard fencing, etc. is going to cost them a whole
lot more than they'd ever get if they robbed every house in the
neighborhood. This ain't no gated community...the haul wouldn't be worth
what they're spending to case the area.
