Electricity meter installation, meter box upgrades and meter relocation work for homes, renovations and commercial sites that need compliant access and safer supply. If the job points to a wider level 2 electrical services (asp-accredited) need, Proelec Group can also advise on level 2 new connections & disconnections and overhead & underground service lines so the excavation sequence supports the whole site plan.
How Proelec Group approaches the job
Each electrical job is planned around safety, supply condition, access, outage timing, existing switchboard or metering constraints and the finish needed by the property owner, builder or next trade. The aim is clear, compliant work that avoids avoidable rework.
- Check the current meter, meter box, switchboard and supply path.
- Confirm the practical meter position and whether consumer mains or switchboard work is also required.
- Complete the approved metering work and test the installation before handover.
What to prepare before booking
A short brief is usually enough to scope the next step. Helpful details include the suburb, photos of the meter or switchboard, any defect notice, access constraints, timing requirements and whether builders, tenants or other trades are involved.
- Send photos of the switchboard, meter, service line, private pole or affected electrical area if safe to do so.
- Share plans, defect notices, builder requirements or solar and battery documents if available.
- Confirm whether the work is urgent, whether power is currently off and whether a planned outage is acceptable.
Common questions
Proelec Group can advise on the safest and most practical next step once the current supply, site access and electrical symptoms are clear.
- Can a meter be moved during a renovation? Usually yes, but the new location must be practical, accessible and compliant.
- Is a meter relocation the same as a switchboard upgrade? Not always. They are separate jobs, but they often need to be planned together.
- Can Proelec help with three-phase metering? Yes, the team can review the existing supply and advise what is required.
