Questions about a damaged meter socket

Which socket details change the price?

Socket requirements, access and related repairs can change the price. We assess the service and prepare a quote based on the work your property needs. The quote can identify whether the proposed scope includes work beyond the socket. Ask us about any part of that scope before you agree to the work.

What should I do if I smell burning near the meter?

A burning smell near the meter warrants an urgent electrical call. Stay away from the meter and don't touch or open its enclosure. We can assess the electrical equipment and explain the needed repairs. If you see fire or face immediate danger, leave the area and contact emergency services.

How should I prepare for socket work at my business?

Meter access and a planned power interruption are key preparations for socket work. Let us know about locked areas and equipment that relies on electrical service. We'll discuss the proposed work and the interruption with you. That conversation gives you a chance to plan access and address business needs before work begins.

Does a power outage always mean the socket is damaged?

No, a power outage doesn't always mean the meter socket is damaged. The cause could be elsewhere in the electrical system or on the utility side. Tell us which parts of the property have lost power. We can assess the electrical equipment and discuss whether the utility needs to be involved.

Why might the utility need to be involved?

Utility involvement may be needed to disconnect and restore service for meter socket work. The meter connects the property's service entrance to the utility supply. We'll discuss the coordination needed for your job before the work begins. Don't remove the meter or attempt to disconnect the utility supply yourself.
