"My circuit breaker box blew an 80 amp circuit and blew the main breaker outside. Mr. Sparky came and replaced both circuit breaker boxes, one main breaker to the house and re-ran the line from the main breaker to the circuit breaker box, correcting an incorrectly installed line. They made sure that everything they did was up to code and guaranteed the work for 30 years. They had to replace all my GIFI outlets and add additional hard wired smoke detectors. It was not an inexpensive job, but I feel secure that they did a great job and were careful and explained everything to me as they went. I would hire them again."

"Completed job quickly and it looks good but told me a price and then the next day after work was completed he raised the price $100 vs what he told me the day prior. Also was unclear about the cord I could use to charge so I have to buy another cord for the outlet installed instead of the cord I already have which may be an improvement so not complaining about that part but would have liked more clarity on that prior to agreeing to the install."

A standard electrical meter riser replacement takes an average of two to three hours for the actual installation work, though the entire process may span a full day. This timeline includes coordination with your utility company for power disconnection and reconnection, the physical replacement work, and any required inspections. Weather conditions and permit processing can affect the schedule. Plan for a day without electrical service while the work is being completed.
The homeowner is responsible for maintaining and replacing the electrical meter riser and related components on their property. While your utility company owns and maintains the actual meter and the service lines leading to your home, everything on your side of the connection point—including the weatherhead, riser pipe, and meter base—falls under your responsibility. This division means that when damage occurs or upgrades are needed, the homeowner bears the cost of replacement.
Yes, your power must be disconnected during an electrical meter riser replacement. Since this work involves your home's main electrical service entrance, the utility company will need to disconnect power at the service drop before the electrician can safely begin work.
This outage lasts for several hours while the replacement is completed and inspected. Make appropriate arrangements for perishable food items and consider alternative accommodations if the weather is extreme.
If you're simply replacing a damaged meter riser without changing your electrical service capacity, you can often keep your existing panel. However, if you're upgrading from a lower amperage service to a higher one, you'll likely need to upgrade your electrical panel as well. Many electricians recommend evaluating your entire electrical service during riser replacement, as combining these projects can be more cost-effective than completing them separately.
