Our Electrical Meter Replacement Process

The same professional approach that's earned us 172+ five-star reviews and over 15 years of trusted service.

1

Same-Day Assessment

We inspect the meter can, service entrance, grounding and main disconnect, and tell you exactly what FPL will require before power can be restored.

2

FPL Coordination

We handle the FPL disconnect and reconnect scheduling, the permit and the inspection so you are not stuck without power waiting on paperwork.

3

Meter Base Replacement

Your new meter socket, service entrance cable, weatherhead and main disconnect are installed to current NEC and FPL specifications.

4

Inspection & Power Back On

The building department signs off, FPL reconnects, and our 8-year warranty on parts and labor starts the same day.

Why Choose Us for Electrical Meter Replacement

Meter work is where FPL, the building department and your electrician all have to line up. We handle all three.

⚡

Power Restored Fast

A failed meter base is the most common reason a whole house loses power with no breaker tripped. We prioritize no-power calls.

🛡️

Fire Risk Removed

Burnt lugs, melted jaws and corroded meter cans arc and overheat. Replacing the base removes the hazard at the source.

📋

FPL & Code Compliant

Every meter base we install meets FPL's current service standards and passes the county inspection the first time.

🌴

Storm & Salt Air Ready

Coastal corrosion and hurricane damage destroy meter cans. We install rated enclosures built for South Florida weather.

🏠

Insurance & 4-Point Ready

Insurers flag rusted or damaged meter equipment on 4-point inspections. A new meter base clears the finding.

💰

Financing Available

Unexpected service entrance repairs are stressful. Financing options are available on approved credit.

Signs Your Meter Base Needs Replacing

The meter can is the first piece of electrical equipment on your home, and it takes the full force of South Florida sun, rain and salt air for decades. When it fails, the symptoms often look like a power company problem or a panel problem, which is why so many homeowners wait too long. If you notice any of the following, call us before it becomes an emergency.

  • ✓ No power to the entire house with no breakers tripped
  • ✓ Burn marks, melted plastic or scorching around the meter
  • ✓ Rust, corrosion or a loose meter can on the wall
  • ✓ Lights dim or flicker across the whole home
  • ✓ Buzzing or crackling from the meter or service entrance
  • ✓ FPL tagged or refused to reconnect your meter
  • ✓ Damage from a hurricane, tree or vehicle strike
  • ✓ A 4-point inspection flagged the meter or service equipment

What a Meter Replacement Includes

Every meter base replacement is a complete service entrance job, not a patch. We replace the meter socket and enclosure, the service entrance conductors and weatherhead where needed, the main disconnect, and the grounding and bonding, then pull the permit, pass the inspection and get FPL back out to reconnect. Most replacements are completed in a single day.

  • ✓ New FPL-approved meter socket and enclosure
  • ✓ Service entrance cable and weatherhead as needed
  • ✓ New main disconnect and breaker where required
  • ✓ Grounding and bonding brought to current NEC code
  • ✓ Permit pulled and county inspection scheduled
  • ✓ FPL disconnect and reconnect coordinated for you
  • ✓ Meter and panel combo upgrades available
  • ✓ 8-year warranty on all parts and labor

Electrical Meter Replacement Questions

FPL owns the meter itself. Everything it plugs into, the meter can, socket, service entrance cable and main disconnect, belongs to the homeowner and must be replaced by a licensed electrician. We do that work and coordinate with FPL to pull and reset the meter.
Very often, yes. A burnt or corroded meter jaw, a failed main lug or a damaged service entrance cable can cut power to the entire home while the panel looks normal. Call us and we will diagnose it the same day.
Most meter base replacements are completed in one day. FPL typically disconnects in the morning and reconnects once the county inspection is passed, and we schedule both so the outage is as short as possible.
Yes. Meter base and service entrance work requires an electrical permit and inspection, and FPL will not reconnect without the inspection sticker. We pull the permit and handle the inspection as part of every job.
If your panel is an older 100-amp, fuse, Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel, replacing it while the service is already disconnected saves a second outage and a second FPL visit. We will give you a combined price so you can decide.
