Meter Base Replacement Services


A meter base (or meter socket) replacement is a major electrical repair. Because it involves working directly with live, high-voltage service lines, this process should only be handled by a licensed electrician and requires coordination with your local utility provider. In most areas, the homeowner is responsible for the physical meter socket (the box), the weatherhead, and the connecting cables to the home. The utility company is usually only responsible for the meter itself and the incoming drop line. A replacement requires pulling an electrical permit and passing a city or county electrical inspection before the utility company will restore power.


The replacement process involves coordinating a disconnect, removing the old meter, replacing the box, and reconnecting everything.
