What is Meter Center Replacement?

A meter center replacement involves updating or upgrading the central unit where multiple electric meters are housed. This process is crucial for maintaining electrical safety, efficiency, and compliance with current regulations.

Why Replace Your Meter Center or Electric Meter Box?

Safety Concerns

  • Outdated Equipment: Old meter centers and electric meter boxes can become hazardous over time, posing risks such as electrical fires or shock hazards.
  • Damage and Wear: Physical damage or wear and tear can compromise the integrity of the meter box and its components.

Efficiency Improvements

  • Modern meter centers and electric meter boxes are designed to handle electrical loads more efficiently, potentially reducing energy consumption and lowering utility bills.

Regulatory Compliance

  • Electrical codes and standards evolve. Upgrading ensures your system complies with the latest regulations, avoiding potential legal or insurance issues.

Capacity Expansion

  • As electrical demands grow, especially in commercial and industrial settings, the need for additional metering capacity becomes apparent. A new meter center or electric meter box replacement can accommodate this increased demand.

Types of Meter Centers and Boxes

Residential Meter Centers and Boxes

  • These units are designed for residential applications, offering safe and easy installation and maintenance. They typically handle lower amperages compared to commercial units.

Commercial and Industrial Meter Centers and Boxes

  • More robust and capable of handling higher electrical loads, these are often used in multi-unit dwellings or commercial buildings where individual metering is required.

The Meter Center Replacement Process

1. Assessment

 

A thorough inspection of the existing meter center or box is conducted to determine the specific requirements for replacement.

2. Selection

Based on the assessment, a suitable replacement unit is selected. Popular choices include Eaton’s Cutler-Hammer® Meter Centers, Schneider Electric’s EZ Meter-Pak™, and other reliable brands.

3. Installation

The old meter center or box is carefully removed, and the new one is installed by licensed electricians, ensuring all connections are secure and compliant with local codes.

4. Testing

Post-installation, the new meter center or box is tested to verify its proper functionality and safety.
