Fix damaged or deteriorated enclosures

About Our Meter Box Repair Service

Madison Electric restores damaged enclosures that protect your metering equipment from weather and physical impact. Our meter box repair service addresses cracked housings, loose mounting, corroded components, and damaged covers that compromise the protection of your measurement device. We evaluate whether repair or complete replacement provides the better solution based on the extent of damage and the age of existing components.
Your metering equipment requires a weathertight enclosure that maintains secure connections and protects sensitive components from moisture. Our electricians examine the entire assembly including the enclosure, mounting hardware, connection points, and seals. We repair or replace damaged parts to restore proper protection and ensure your metering area meets code requirements for accessibility and safety.

What’s Included in Our Meter Box Repair Service

A damaged or aging meter box can create safety hazards, power interruptions, and increase the risk of electrical faults. At Madison Electric, we provide professional meter box repair services, addressing structural damage, faulty wiring, and grounding issues. Every step is performed safely and in compliance with electrical codes.

Detailed Meter Box Inspection

We examine the meter box enclosure — housing, cover, hinges, seals, and mounting — to identify cracks, corrosion, rust, loose fittings, moisture intrusion, or other structural problems.

Secure Power Disconnection and Safety Protocol

Before any repair, we coordinate safe power shutdown to avoid shocks or electrical hazards, and ensure proper protective measures throughout the work.

Replacement or Repair of Damaged Components

If parts like the box housing, door, hinges, locks, or seals are compromised, we repair or replace them using modern, code‑compliant, weather‑resistant materials.

Wiring and Connection Check‑up

Our electricians inspect all internal wiring and service cables entering the meter box. They tighten loose connections and verify insulation and grounding to minimize risk of shorts or faults.

Weatherproofing and Sealing

We reseal or reseat the meter box enclosure, ensuring a tight seal against water, dust, pests, and other elements — to prevent future corrosion or electrical hazards.

Grounding and Safety Compliance Verification

We verify that grounding and bonding meet current safety standards, protecting against shocks, surges, or electrical fires.

Functional Testing After Repair

After repairs, we test the meter box (with meter reinstalled or reconnected) to confirm stable power supply, correct functioning, and safety compliance.

Clean Finish and Documentation

We leave the meter box area neat, ensure all components are properly secured, and document work done so you have records for inspection or future reference.
