"My experience with this company has been HORRIBLE! I have a older electric clothes dryer that was displaying multiple issues, but still functional. My previous and awesome repair company was not able to service the dryer due to a move, so I called Trustworthy Appliance Service after checking Angie's List. I was first interested in a diagnosis to determine if the repair was worth it (versus replacement) and listed the numerous symptoms for the technician, including a hot-smelling motor when running. He immediately, WITHOUT LOOKING AT OR TURNING ON OR TOUCHING the dryer, made a diagnosis as a blower fan, gave me a quote for what he assured would resolve all issues, and completed the repair. Within a few days, the dryer quit working completely - it would not turn. I called the company, and the owner consented to a refund once the technician came and checked to make sure it wasn't just a "loose wire" as I would not have consented to spending more that already paid on a repair, had it been diagnosed correctly in the first place. Meanwhile I am without a dryer and must use the laundromat. Upon the second visit, the technician said it was a broken belt (totally consistent with the original hot motor symptom!!) and so I called to confirm refund needed after declining a free belt. I received no call back from the company after three days and had to call back (Geraldine originally said she would need to contact the owner the following day to pass along paper work to get final authorization from the owner for the refund and she would call back to process). The owner then tried to argue that the technician could have fixed for free the undiagnosed belt issue and acted as if he did not have the details of the case even though he had authorized the refund contingent upon a re-check by the technician (Jimmy) several days prior via Geraldine (office staff). Finally after frustration and argument, the refund was authorized and I will NEVER call this company again!"

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.
