Meter Replacement Service

Update aging or damaged metering equipment

About Our Meter Replacement Service

Madison Electric replaces outdated or damaged metering equipment with modern units that provide accurate consumption measurement. Our meter replacement service addresses situations where existing equipment has failed, shows signs of wear, or no longer meets current utility standards. We remove the old device safely, install a new one that matches your service requirements, and verify proper operation before restoring power. Your metering equipment ages over time and may require replacement due to damage, corrosion, or utility company mandates. Our electricians assess the entire meter base assembly to determine if only the device needs replacement or if the enclosure and connections require updating as well. We work efficiently to minimize service interruption and ensure your new equipment functions correctly from the moment it’s energized.
