"I found IEW Electrical Services via Home Depot Pro Referral Service. Zoe was the first contractor to call me about 5 minutes after I logged the request for an Electrician to help install 7 smart switches in my home. Zoe came across as professional and since he was the first to call, I asked him to do the work. Zoe and one of his associates arrived at the time I asked. They were both very courteous and professional. They went right to work and did not speak with each other outside of coordinating the work. The smart switches were installed without any issues and I was able to successfully program each smart switch within my Ring Alarm System. I would highly recommend IEW Electrical Services. Zoe is professional, courteous, and honest. These traits are very hard to find in this day and age. I will use Zoe and his company for all future related Electrical services."

"NEVER use this company if you want work done correctly and expect to have any type of customer service. Alan at first is a very nice person and appears to be knowledgeable. - I wonâ t discredit him on that. However, he does incomplete work and then ghosts you when you attempt to call or text. In the beginning he will respond after about 10 attempts and with me he claimed he had a new phone that somehow he was not receiving calls/texts. After about 4 months of my texting (not daily because Iâ m busy, but every couple few weeks) he did return to replace one faulty light that never worked (he installed down lighting on the front of my home, 3 on each side) however when he showed up he said he had the wrong light and would return the next day. Now another 2 months have ticked by and I still cannot get him to come and replace the light. Mind you this is not a simple light bulb change. Trust that I went to see if I could just do it myself and even asked when Alan came by after four months with the incorrect replacement light. These are wired and installed under the roof. He finally engaged again a few weeks ago and said he was ordering some and would make this right. I have been texting and emailing only to be ghosted again. Mind you I believe these can be purchased at any Home Depot or Loweâ s. Itâ s going on 6 months now, no Alan. Iâ m considering a small clams suit just to send a message but I truly just want the light replaced. Also, he does not provide contracts which should concern you. My project was small enough (less than 1K) that I was not insistent. If you decide to use Alan, insistent on a contract with start finish dates and outline what happens if the job is not completed satisfactorily. Also insistent he writes down what materials he is using if you are allowing him to purchase them. Another reason that Iâ m beholden to him is I donâ t know what lights he installed and would have to pay someone to come out just to find that out. Of course, after my experience I went and researched his reviews and learned other customers on other sites have complained about Alan ghosting after he is paid for a job. I also think he has had a couple of other companies under different names probably because because of bad service/reviews. By the way, I used him because he came highly recommended by 3 of my neighbors. Itâ s just hard finding people who do good work and stand by a commitment to do good work. By the way, in the middle of this I let Alan completed two other projects (ceiling fan and camera system installation) and those projects were mostly OK. There are other reviewers who indicate Alan works hard for his money and that is true; hence, I thought I could really trust Alan to return and correct this light replacement issue. I guess what they say is correct though, trust no one. I will keep trying until I can get some time off to file a small claims suit. I am really sad it has come to this. But I had this particular project done for safety reasons so itâ s very important to me - I even explained that to Alan as well."

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.
