Meter Socket Replacement

When Your Meter Socket Needs Replacement

The meter socket is the connection point between your utility's power lines and your home's electrical system. When it fails—through corrosion, physical damage, or age—your power can be interrupted and your home is at risk.

We replace meter sockets that are:

• Corroded or rusted from weather exposure
• Physically damaged from storms, accidents, or tampering
• Loose or pulling away from the exterior wall
• Arcing or sparking at the connection points
• Outdated and incompatible with modern panel upgrades

How We Handle the Work

Meter socket replacement requires coordination with your utility company. We pull the necessary permits, schedule the meter disconnect and reconnect with the utility, and ensure the new socket meets current NEC standards.

The work includes removing the old socket, installing a new weather-resistant unit, securing all connections, and verifying proper grounding. We stay on-site until the utility reconnects your meter and power is restored.

Code-Compliant Installation

Every meter socket replacement is installed to New Jersey electrical code. We use UL-listed equipment rated for your service amperage—typically 100A, 200A, or 400A depending on your panel.

The new socket is properly sealed against moisture intrusion and mounted securely to your home's structure. All connections are torqued to manufacturer specifications to prevent future arcing or overheating.

Coordinated with Your Utility

We handle the utility coordination so you don't have to. That means scheduling the disconnect, ensuring the work is inspected and approved, and arranging the reconnect—all while keeping you informed of timing and any required downtime.

Most replacements are completed in a single day, weather permitting.
