Metering is Level 2 work, which means it covers the meter itself and its connection back to the street network, not just the wiring inside your home.

Our Metering Services in Metford
New Meter Installs
New builds and renovations around Metford's newer subdivisions need a compliant meter fitted and connected before power can flow to the property.
Meter Upgrades
Old or failing meters get replaced with a modern, network-approved unit, sized correctly for your home's current electrical load and appliances.
Smart and Solar Metering
We fit smart meters and solar-export meters so Metford homes with rooftop solar get accurate feed-in data and correct off-peak billing.
Off-Peak Metering
Households running pool pumps or hot water on off-peak tariffs get a dedicated circuit metered correctly to capture the cheaper rate.
Meter Box Relocations
Renovating or moving your switchboard means the meter box often has to shift too, and we manage the full network-connected relocation.
Meter Box Replacement
Ageing meter boxes on Metford's original 1980s-1990s homes get replaced with a new weatherproof enclosure built to current standards.
Why Metering Choice Matters for Metford Homes
Metford's mix of 1980s-2000s brick-veneer homes and newer townhouse infill means meter setups vary widely from house to house:
- Original meter boxes on 1980s-1990s homes are ageing and can corrode or fail
- A switchboard relocation during a renovation almost always means the meter has to move too
- Homes adding solar need a meter that reads export as well as import
- Off-peak tariffs for pool pumps or hot water require the correct dedicated metering
- Any meter change must be reported to and approved by the network operator
If your meter box shows warning signs, it may present as a burning smell in the meter box well before a full replacement becomes unavoidable.
Common Metering Problems We Fix Across Metford
Ageing meter boxes on 1980s-90s homes
A large share of the suburb's housing dates from the rapid subdivision build-out around the 1995 railway station, and original meter boxes from that era are now well past a reasonable service life.
Meter relocations during renovations
Owner-occupiers renovating older detached homes commonly need the meter box shifted to a new external wall when the switchboard is relocated.
Solar and smart metering upgrades
Family homes installing rooftop solar need the meter upgraded so export and import are both measured correctly for billing.
Meter enclosures affected by humidity
Metford's humid Hunter Valley summer storm season can affect older meter box enclosures and terminals, and we replace them with sealed, weather-rated units.
Off-peak circuits without proper metering
Homes running pool pumps or hot water systems on an off-peak tariff sometimes have metering that was never set up correctly for the discount to apply.
