Metering is Level 2 work, which means it covers the meter itself and its connection back to the street network, not just the wiring inside your home.

Our Metering Services in Lambton
New Meter Installs
New builds, granny flats, and renovations across the suburb need a compliant meter fitted and connected before power can flow to the property.
Meter Upgrades
Old or failing meters get replaced with a modern, network-approved unit, sized correctly for your home's current electrical load and appliances.
Smart and Solar Metering
We fit smart meters and solar-export meters so homes with rooftop solar get accurate feed-in data and correct billing.
Off-Peak Metering
Households running pool pumps or hot water on off-peak tariffs get a dedicated circuit metered correctly to capture the cheaper rate.
Meter Box Relocations
Renovating a character cottage or moving your switchboard means the meter box often has to shift too, and we manage the full network-connected relocation.
Meter Box Replacement
Ageing meter boxes on Lambton's pre-1940 and mid-century homes get replaced with a new weatherproof enclosure built to current standards.
Why Metering Choice Matters for Lambton Homes
Lambton's mix of miners' cottages, Federation weatherboard homes and mid-century brick-veneer infill means meter setups vary widely from house to house:
- Original meter boxes on pre-1940 cottages are ageing and prone to failure
- A switchboard relocation during a renovation almost always means the meter has to move too
- Homes adding solar need a meter that reads export as well as import
- Off-peak tariffs for pool pumps or hot water require the correct dedicated metering
- Any meter change must be reported to and approved by the network operator
If your meter box shows warning signs, it may present as a burning smell in the meter box well before a full replacement becomes unavoidable.
Common Metering Problems We Fix Across Lambton
Ageing meter boxes on pre-1940 cottages
Lambton's history as a coal-mining township from 1863 left a large stock of original miners' cottages, and meter boxes from that era or the mid-century infill that followed are now well past a reasonable service life.
Meter relocations during renovations
Owner-occupiers renovating character cottages along streets like Elder Street and Howe Street commonly need the meter box shifted to a new external wall when the switchboard is relocated.
Solar and smart metering upgrades
Family homes across the suburb installing rooftop solar need the meter upgraded so export and import are both measured correctly for billing.
Ageing enclosures on original housing stock
Decades-old meter enclosures and terminals on Lambton's original weatherboard and fibro homes corrode and loosen with age, and we replace them with sealed, current-standard units.
Off-peak circuits without proper metering
Homes running pool pumps or hot water systems on an off-peak tariff sometimes have metering that was never set up correctly for the discount to apply.
