"BUYER BEWARE!!! I will update this review IF the generator I contracted for gets installed. Apparently, the LLC entity that previously operated as Generator Supercenter of Nashville is in some sort of financial difficulty, and the franchise operations have been taken back by the "national" franchisor. I contracted with the the company on 9/20/24 and was told that my generator would be installed by 11/1/24. The last week of October, I was told that my job was "with the state" for some sort of electrical permit (which makes no sense, but that is what I was told). Two weeks ago, when I called back, I was told a more complete story, but that they were waiting for "national" to issue a "certificate" for my job and all the other jobs that had been taken over from the franchisee. Last week, I was told that it will now be the week after Thanksgiving before my job can move forward. Again, I will update this review IF I get my generator., Thus far, color me very concerned."

Generator repair services FAQs

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.
