Need a Meter Can Replacement?
All of the electricity running to your home comes from the utility poles that run along the street and the wires that connect the street to your home.
At that connection point you’ll find the meter, the unit responsible for measuring how much electricity you use. This is owned by your electrical company.
Over top of that meter is a physical box that protects it, something called your meter can. This is owned by you so when something goes wrong or it’s outdated and no longer works to protect your meter, you can call our team of local electricians to lend a hand.
