Our Metering Services in Fletcher
New Meter Installation
We install new meters for new builds, granny flats and renovations, coordinated with Ausgrid so the connection is signed off correctly and the paperwork is handled from our end.
Meter Upgrades
Older meters nearing end of life or unable to support new load get replaced with a correctly rated modern unit.
Smart & Solar Metering
We install smart meters and solar-compatible metering for homes adding rooftop solar or wanting better visibility of household usage.
Meter Relocations
Renovating or moving your switchboard means the meter often has to move too, and we handle the relocation and Ausgrid liaison together so the job runs as one visit, not two.
Off-Peak Metering
For homes running hot water or other appliances on off-peak tariffs, we install and configure the correct off-peak metering setup so billing reflects actual usage.
Three-Phase Metering
Where a property is upgrading to three-phase supply, we fit metering rated to match, coordinated with any consumer mains upgrade.
Meter Box Replacement
Where the meter box itself is damaged, outdated or too small for a new meter configuration, we replace it to current standards as part of the job.
Why Metering Choice Matters for Fletcher Homes
Getting metering work right matters because an incorrectly specified or poorly installed meter can delay a solar connection, a renovation, or a simple supply upgrade, and rework later always costs more than getting it right the first time:
- Fletcher's newer estate homes increasingly add solar and need matching smart metering
- A meter relocation is often needed when a switchboard moves during a renovation
- Off-peak and three-phase metering both need the correct meter type fitted from the start
- AS/NZS 3000 compliance applies to every metering job
- Only a Level 2 ASP can legally connect or alter metering on the network side
If your board is showing signs of strain rather than the meter itself, it's worth checking flickering lights before booking metering work in isolation, since the fix may sit at the switchboard rather than the meter.
Common Metering Problems We Fix Across Fletcher
Meters not rated for new solar
Estate homes across Fletcher increasingly add rooftop solar, and an older meter often needs upgrading to a solar-compatible smart meter before the system can connect.
Ageing meters nearing end of life
The earliest Fletcher estate homes are now 20-25 years old, and original meters from that era are increasingly due for replacement.
Burning smell or heat at the meter box
A hot or scorched meter box points to a failing connection, and we treat a meter box burning smell as an urgent Level 2 job, attending same-day where availability allows.
Relocations during renovation
Owners renovating estate homes and moving the switchboard often need the meter relocated at the same time, and we coordinate both jobs together.
Incorrect metering for three-phase upgrades
Homes upgrading to three-phase for an EV charger or workshop need matching metering, and we specify and fit it correctly the first time.
Meter boxes damaged or undersized
A cracked, corroded or undersized meter box can hold up a solar connection or upgrade, and we replace it alongside the metering work in the same visit.
