Justin Alfred brings years of experience in a full range of electrical services, combined with a belief in perfecting the details to provide your next home project with top-quality electrical work.
"We hired Justin to work a job for us. He did a really great job and we enjoyed his services and were looking forward to have him do other stuff in our home when the time came. Everything was done quick, and his assistant in particular was super helpful showing us how things work. We then wanted to hire him again when power went out in a room after our boiler broke and we lost heat. I had to cancel 3 times over 3 weeks (I do feel bad) because our house still was not safe to enter (lots of oil smoke in the air) and we were still waiting for professional cleaners to arrive. The situation was super fluid and we were working with insurance to get time tables set up. This was communicated to Justin. I gave Justin 2 hours notice the first time and apologized. Upon looking at texts, Justin was in the area and it was convenient for him. The second time and third time I gave him more than a days notice and apologized that we still had to put things off (it was out of our control). I then got an angry call from Justin demanding to be paid a service fee. There was no notice of a cancellation policy of any type mentioned anywhere at all, Justin just decided to spring this on us when we are still evacuated from our home. Never seen someone so unprofessional and go after such an obvious money grab. Justin seems really nice, but beware, he will throw things on you when it is convenient for him to make a quick buck."

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.
