Trusted Metering Specialists in Cardiff
Metering sits inside the Level 2 scope, the wiring and connection between your service mains and the switchboard, and only a Level 2 ASP is licensed to install or upgrade it. Electrician Cardiff is accredited on the Ausgrid network, backed by Electrical Licence #451348C and 300+ five-star reviews, with fixed pricing on every job.
Cardiff's mix of original post-war meter boxes and newer brick-veneer infill homes means our metering team handles everything from old analogue meter replacements to fresh solar-ready installs across the suburb. We treat metering as more than a swap-out job, checking the surrounding wiring and connection each time so the whole setup is safe, not just the meter itself.
Our Metering Services in Cardiff

Old or failing meters are upgraded to a modern digital meter, tested and certified to current standards.
Off-Peak Metering

Meter Relocations
Where a renovation or switchboard move requires it, we relocate the meter box and reconnect it to Ausgrid standards.

All new connections, upgrades and relocations are coordinated directly with Ausgrid so the job is signed off correctly.
Meter Box Upgrades
Where an old meter box enclosure is corroded, undersized or non-compliant, we replace it as part of the metering upgrade.
Why Metering Choice Matters for Cardiff Homes
Getting metering work done properly matters for these established Lake Macquarie streets:
- Only a Level 2 ASP is licensed to install or alter metering connections
- Old analogue meters can be inaccurate or unable to support solar export
- A poorly coordinated relocation can delay your Ausgrid connection
- AS/NZS 3000 sets the standard every metering job must meet
- A corroded or damaged meter box enclosure can itself become a safety issue
- Workmanship and materials vary significantly between installers
Common Metering Problems We Fix Across Cardiff
Ageing analogue meters
Many post-war Cardiff homes still run original analogue meters that are due for a modern digital upgrade.
Meters not ready for solar
Homes adding solar panels often need a metering upgrade first, and we handle the full switch to export-ready metering.
Burning smells or heat at the meter box
A meter box burning smell points to an overheating or failing metering connection, which we treat as urgent.
Meters needing relocation
Renovations that shift the switchboard position often require the meter box to move with it, coordinated properly with Ausgrid.
Metering flagged in a defect notice
Where Ausgrid flags non-compliant metering, our defect notice repairs service rectifies it and clears the notice.
Corroded or damaged meter boxes
Older outdoor meter box enclosures on original Cardiff homes can corrode or crack over time, and we replace them with a durable, code-compliant unit.
