METER RELOCATION SYDNEY

Moving an electricity meter is not a job for a standard electrician. Because relocating a meter means disconnecting from and reconnecting to the network, re-routing the consumer mains, and coordinating the metering, it is Level 2 ASP work from start to finish. Sydney Power Group relocates meters and meter boxes across Greater Sydney under Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy authorisation, managing the disconnection, the physical move, and the metering paperwork as one coordinated job.

Why Relocate a Meter?

The most common reason is a renovation or extension where the meter box now sits inside the new footprint, behind a wall, or somewhere the network can no longer access it. Others include improving access so meter readers and technicians can reach it, moving an unsafe or asbestos-era enclosure off a living area, tidying a streetscape, or repositioning the meter ahead of a switchboard upgrade or solar install. Whatever the reason, the meter must remain accessible and compliant in its new position.

What the Job Involves

We assess the existing position and the proposed new location against network rules, then plan the move. On the day we arrange the network disconnection, re-route or extend the consumer mains to the new position, install a compliant meter box and metering, and reconnect your supply. Where the meter is being moved a long distance or the mains are old, it often makes sense to replace the consumer mains at the same time rather than pay for a second disconnection later.

Metering & Retailer Coordination

A meter relocation almost always involves the metering itself — whether that is refitting the existing smart meter or installing a new one. We coordinate the metering work and lodge it correctly so your retailer and the network records stay accurate and your billing is not disrupted. See our smart and solar metering service for how we handle the metering side.

One Level 2 Team, Start to Finish

Because we hold Level 2 ASP accreditation, you are not juggling a builder, a general electrician, and the network — we handle the whole relocation and the network connection ourselves. We plan the timing around your project so power is off for the shortest possible window. Call 0466 125 125 or request a quote to relocate your meter anywhere in Sydney.
