FAQs
Who can fit an electric meter box?
The meter box houses the electrical meter which measures the amount of electricity consumed by a property for accurate billing and monitoring of energy usage. Qualified electricians and registered professionals have the expertise and knowledge to fit an electricity meter box to ensure compliance with safety standards and electrical regulations to keep the system running safely and effectively.
What is the lifespan of a meter box?
Our range of meter boxes are constructed from GRP (glass reinforced plastic) for outstanding strength, that provides protection against adverse weather conditions and vandalism. While the lifespan of electric meter boxes and other GRP cabinets can vary depending on where they are situated and how they are installed, a well-maintained meter box can last for many years.
How do I choose the right location for my meter box?
Guidance from the National Grid states that a meter box must be placed on the external side of a wall at the front of a property and be easily accessible to utility workers. Areas that provide shelter from direct sunlight and rain can also help to prevent damage or corrosion over time. Refer to industry guidelines for specific criteria and requirements. Meter boxes can be surface mounted, wall mounted or floor mounted, depending on the type of system they house.
Can I paint my meter box?
Electric meter boxes can be painted, as long as the paint does not reduce accessibility or cover any signs, symbols or information already on the box.
