Metering is Level 2 work, in plain English that means the meter itself and the wiring around it that most electricians must sub out, not just the circuits inside your home. Only a Level 2 ASP is licensed to touch this part of the system, from single-to-three-phase upgrades to off-peak and controlled load setups. Our team does it in-house, start to finish.
Our Metering Services in Floraville
New Meter Installs
New builds, granny flats, and knock-down rebuilds in the area 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.
Single to Three-Phase
Homes upgrading their supply for bigger appliance loads get a proper single-to-three-phase meter changeover, coordinated fully with Ausgrid.
Off-Peak and Controlled Load
Households running pool pumps or hot water on a cheaper off-peak tariff get a dedicated controlled load circuit metered correctly to capture the discount.
Meter Box Relocations
Renovating or upgrading your switchboard often means the meter box has to shift too, and we manage the full network-connected relocation.
Switchboard Meter Panels
Older meter panels built into ageing switchboards get replaced with a compliant, correctly wired panel that suits a modern board.
Why Metering Choice Matters for Floraville Homes
Floraville's mix of 1960s-1980s brick-veneer and fibro homes, many close to the Lake Macquarie foreshore, means meter setups vary widely from house to house:
- Original meter boxes from the 1960s-1980s build era are ageing and can corrode or fail
- A switchboard upgrade in these older homes almost always means the meter panel needs attention too
- Salt-laden air off the lake corrodes outdoor meter enclosures and terminals faster than inland suburbs
- 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 Floraville
Ageing meter boxes on 1960s-80s homes
A large share of the suburb's housing dates from the 1960s-1980s build-out, and original meter boxes from that era are now well past a reasonable service life.
Meter panels tied to old switchboards
Homes still running the original switchboard often have a matching original meter panel that needs upgrading alongside it to stay compliant.
Corroded meter enclosures near the lake
Salt-laden air off Lake Macquarie's eastern shore corrodes older meter box enclosures and terminals on foreshore-facing homes, 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 or controlled load tariff sometimes have metering that was never set up correctly for the discount to apply.
Single-phase supply limiting upgrades
Renovating households adding bigger appliance loads sometimes find their single-phase meter can't support the new circuit without a three-phase changeover.
