Meter Can or Meter Socket Replacement

The main electrical feed coming from the utility wires into the panel board of your home consists of a number of important components, the most crucial being the electric meter – often found in its own separate meter box installed outside and mounted on the side of your home. While these meter sockets can last a long time if properly installed, they are vulnerable to becoming defective through various conditions such as moisture and environmental contamination, overloading or short circuits, frequent changing of meters, and storm/vandalism damage. These unfortunate conditions can reduce their safe operating life considerably. Make sure to check with an experienced professional to be sure your home’s electric meter is in proper condition to keep you and your family safe.

If your electrical meter box is looking dingy and worn out, it may be time for a replacement. An electrical meter is often upgraded during home renovation projects or when a house is bought or sold. Electrical Services Today can also upgrade your meter socket if you’re performing an electrical panel upgrade in your home, so it’s important to always keep up with the latest industry standards.
