Fast response when electrical problems can’t wait

About Our Meter Installation Service

Madison Electric installs metering equipment that accurately measures electrical consumption for residential and commercial properties. Our meter installation service handles new construction projects, service upgrades that require different metering capacity, and situations where no measurement device currently exists. We coordinate with utility companies to ensure installations meet their specifications and arrange for activation of electrical service upon completion.
Your property requires properly installed metering equipment before utilities will deliver power to your location. Our electricians mount the appropriate enclosure, install the meter base with correct connections, and verify that all components meet utility and code requirements. We handle the technical aspects while managing communication with utility representatives to streamline the activation process and get your service connected promptly.
