Meter Base Services

You might not think about your meter base much, but it’s an integral part of your home’s electrical system. It’s the protective casing that houses your electrical meter, which is used to track your power consumption and determine how much power you’ve used. The expert electricians at Aardvark Electric provide a variety of meter base services in the Atlanta, GA area.

Why Does Your Meter Base Matter?

Without your electrical meter base, your electrical company can’t get a reliable reading on the power you’ve used. Unfortunately, there will be steep penalties in most cases if they can’t tell what your usage rate is. This is also because a broken or breached electrical meter base might have been tampered with, not just damaged by the elements.

Of course, protecting your meter base from the elements is one of the most important factors in any meter base installation. You don’t want rain contacting the electrical components inside. This can cause the meter to stop working or cause the same kind of trouble getting any other electronics connected to your electrical system would.

Meter Base Replacement in Atlanta

While most meter bases are very durable and long-lasting, you’ll eventually need a meter base replacement due to damage or just regular wear. While they can sometimes be repaired, replacement is often the best option if:

• The meter base is old or outdated. Older meters are likely to break down again soon enough even when repaired, so a new electric meter installation could be in order.
• Your meter base isn’t up to code. Every meter base has standards it has to meet for the specific county or utility company. If so, you’ll need a meter base replacement.
• You’re upgrading your electrical service. If you’re increasing from a 100-amp to 200-amp service, there’s a chance you’re going to need a new electric meter installation.
• You’re upgrading your electrical panel. If you’re replacing or installing a new electrical panel, you might need a new meter base installation to go along with it.
• The meter base is heavily damaged. Whether from vandalism, an accident, or severe weather, your meter base can become damaged. When it does, a replacement is often the simplest choice.

No matter what the reason for your meter base replacement, you can count on the professional electricians at Aardvark Electric to get the job done right. We’ll be happy to go over your options and give you a reliable quote on any meter base services in Atlanta.
