Meter Bases

_
Need to replace your meter base? When undergoing a major remodel some homeowners find themselves needing to replace their homes meter base to accommodate for the new addition(s).  And there are even times when some homeowners of older homes are required by the city or the utility company to update their meter base.

It's a common misunderstanding that the meter base is handled by the city or the utility company.  Many homeowners are surprised to find that they are themselves responsible for their homes meter base - it is their own property, and they are required to keep it up to code.  If you find yourself being one of those homeowners that needs to update or replace their meter base, call Steve Carter Electric today - we can help!  Our electricians have installed countless numbers of meter bases.  We'll get the job done right!

What is a meter base?
A meter base is the electrical unit found on the exterior of your home.  It holds the power company's meter.  The electricity delivered to your home from the power company reaches the meter base first.  Then, the electricity passed to your electrical panel.  It's at the meter base where your energy usage is calculated.  This is where the power company can determine your energy bill.

Call Steve Carter Electric today for more information on meter base replacement.
