Expert Meter Installation and Upgrades

Accurate metering is essential for every property. Whether you are building a new home, upgrading your electrical supply or replacing an outdated meter, a licensed Level 2 electrician is required to complete the installation. Fraser Electrical provides professional electrical meter installation services across the Central Coast. We install, replace and upgrade meters in line with Ausgrid and NSW Service and Installation Rules to ensure your supply remains safe, compliant and fully functional.

A correctly installed meter is important not only for billing accuracy but also for the safe distribution of electricity throughout your property. Our team has extensive experience working with single phase and three phase installations as well as smart meter upgrades for homes and small businesses. We take a practical and thorough approach to ensure your meter is installed correctly and operates as intended.

Why Electrical Meter Installation Is Important

Your electrical meter records your energy usage and connects your property to the wider electricity network. A faulty, outdated or incorrectly installed meter can lead to inaccurate billing, supply issues and safety problems. Meter installation is regulated and must be completed by an authorised electrician with Level 2 accreditation.

Reasons you may need a new meter include:

  • Construction of a new home
  • Upgrading from single phase to three phase supply
  • Home renovations or increased electrical demand
  • Replacing a damaged or outdated meter
  • Preparing a property for solar installation
  • Switching to a smart meter for real-time usage monitoring

A professional installation ensures your meter integrates correctly with the network and your internal electrical system.

Our Meter Installation Process

We follow a structured process to ensure all meter installations are carried out safely and efficiently.

1
Initial Assessment

We begin by assessing your property, current supply and metering requirements. This includes identifying whether the existing wiring, switchboard and consumer mains are suitable for the new meter.

2
Supply Isolation

To complete the work safely we isolate the electrical supply at the property. Only Level 2 electricians are licensed to perform this step.

3
Meter Installation

The meter is installed or replaced using approved equipment that meets Ausgrid and NSW standards. We ensure every connection is secure and correctly configured.

4
Testing and Verification

Once the installation is complete we test the meter to confirm it is recording accurately and communicating correctly where required. We also check the entire setup for safety and compliance.

5
Reconnection

The supply is restored safely and the meter is placed into service.

6
Final Documentation

If required we provide compliance documentation and coordinate with your energy retailer to ensure your billing reflects the new meter installation.

This process ensures your meter is installed correctly and is ready for immediate use.
