"Terrible experience. I had an electrical issue that started when I plugged a vacuum into an outlet. There was a loud pop, the outlet and the kitchen and garage lights went out. I hired Mr. Sparky of Ocala to do a diagnostic for just under $400. The tech arrived on time and looked at the outlet and a couple of switches. He told me that I need to replace all the outlets, switches and light fixtures in the house but at a minimum, the devices on the dead circuit. He quoted me over $12,000. I decided to do my own diagnostic. I found a loose neutral wire nut in the switch box for the attic light. As soon as I tightened that wire nut, the circuit came back up. The tech did replace the wall switch for the garage light which may or may not have needed replacing. So, I paid $400 for a switch. I never got a correct diagnosis of the problem, which is what I paid for. I gave Mr. Sparky my review and they have not replied. I gave one star only because zero was not an option."

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.
