Service Upgrades & Meter Cans

We can replace your meter can, which is needed when interior clamps (or jaws) become worn or inoperative. However, this can often be prevented with regular maintenance. Electricity flowing through wires causes heat, and heat causes contraction and expansion. This movement can cause issues with the screws on the panel and meter, in terms of them loosening. Simple re-tightening of these screws on a regular basis can significantly prevent problems. We can not only provide this regular maintenance but also inspect the meter can for any other wear or damage.
​
The meter can is how and where the electric company connect in a meter to calculate usage. This is almost always the demarcation point of where your home or business’s electrical system begins and the electric company’s ends. If you have having power fluctuations, causing dimming or other electrical irregularities, it is often a symptom that your meter is failing. Call us to diagnose and repair/replace the meter if you are having these problems. Again, having regular preventive maintenance can eliminate most of these issues prior to failure and avoid more expensive repairs or replacements.

It is important to have a state licensed electrician perform this work.  Service upgrades and metered can repair and replacement is a job only for professional electricians.
