How Do We Upgrade Your Meter Box?
Meter Box Upgrade & Installation - Our Simple 4 Step Process
First Step - Testing and Identifying
Our very first step once we are onsite is to very carefully identify each component of the meter box and clearly label them. Even a single incorrectly connected or crossed wire can be very dangerous. We check that all the components of the meter box all work properly and have a look for anything else that might be a problem, such as frayed wire or waterproofing issues.
Second Step - Disconnect Power
After evaluating the condition of the meter box and ensuring that it'll be safe for our technician's to work, we carefully disconnect power from the street, which stops any power from coming through to the meter box and the site. Once we're sure there's no power, we can begin the installation
Third Step - Removal and Installation
Loax level 2 electricians commence installation. We remove the old meter box and replace any old or unsafe parts in the meter box. We then install the meter box back into place and reconnect all of the wiring and the fuses.
Fourth Step - Connect Power & Test
Once the meter box is in, we carefully reconnect power to the street and thoroughly test the new meter box at every point, making sure that's it's safe and able to last. Once we know all is good, we clean up and your new meter box is all ready to go

The Components of your Meter Box
Main Supply Fuses are an integral part of your home or worksite’s safety, designed to safely stop the flow of electricity if a dangerous influx of electricity comes through. Main fuses are most commonly 100 amps, but may be 80 on smaller sites, or up to 400 if you have a larger or commercial site. Ceramic fuses, found on older Meter Box, need to be upgraded to safer and more reliable circuit breakers
Neutral blocks house all the neutrals which sends power back to the substation. When a neutral block is faulty or broken, power instead travels into its surroundings, and can instead shock you
Meter’s are used to record the electrical energy used by your settlement. Faulty meter can cause you to be overcharged for electricity, or even face legal trouble, and should be replaced quickly
Circuit Breaker’s and RCD’s protect both you and circuits from fluctuations in power by interrupting circuits when a current gets to an unsafe level. RCD’s can be used over and over again, but naturally will wear over time, becoming unsafe
Earthing provides a safe path into the ground for an electrical current in the event of a system fault, protecting you from being shocked or worse. Faulty earthing is extremely dangerous and should be repaired immediately
