AUSGRID METER BOX UPGRADES

The meter box is the enclosure that houses your meter and main switch — and if it is old, damaged, timber, or too small for modern metering, it needs upgrading before a new meter can be fitted. Sydney Power Group is an Ausgrid authorised Level 2 ASP upgrading meter boxes and enclosures across the Ausgrid network.

Why Meter Boxes Need Upgrading

Many older Ausgrid-area homes still have timber or undersized meter boxes that no longer meet standards or cannot fit a smart meter. Cracked, water-damaged, or fire-risk enclosures are a safety concern and can attract a defect notice. We replace them with compliant, weather-rated enclosures.

Part of a Bigger Upgrade

A meter box upgrade usually goes hand in hand with a meter upgrade, switchboard work, or a three-phase supply upgrade. Coordinating them in one visit avoids repeat disconnections and gets you a compliant, future-proof metering position.

Relocating the Box

Renovating or extending? We can relocate the meter box to a more accessible, compliant position while we upgrade it — see meter relocation. This is common on North Shore and Inner West renovations where the original position no longer suits the layout.

Level 2 ASP Work

Because the meter box houses network metering, the upgrade is Level 2 ASP work and requires coordination with Ausgrid. We handle the enclosure, the metering and the compliance. Call 0466 125 125 or use the contact page.
