Metering in Toronto
Need a new meter, an upgrade, or a meter box relocation? Electrician Toronto's Level 2 ASPs handle it all, backed by Electrical Licence #451348C, $0 call-out, and free quotes on every job.
Trusted Metering Specialists in Toronto
Our family-owned team are licensed electricians and Level 2 ASPs, Electrical Licence #451348C, accredited on the Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy networks, backed by 300+ five-star reviews. We handle meter work fast and transparently, with $0 call-out fees, free quotes, and fixed upfront pricing on every job.
Metering is Level 2 work, which means it covers the meter itself and its connection back to the street network, not just the wiring inside your home. Only a Level 2 ASP is licensed to touch this part of the system, and it is exactly the work most general electricians have to sub out. Our team does it in-house, start to finish.
Our Metering Services in Toronto
New Meter Installs
New builds and renovations around the town centre need a compliant meter fitted and connected before power can flow to the property.
Meter Upgrades
Old or failing meters get replaced with a modern, network-approved unit, sized correctly for your home's current electrical load and appliances.
Smart and Solar Metering
We fit smart meters and solar-export meters so lakeside homes with rooftop solar get accurate feed-in data and correct off-peak billing.
Off-Peak Metering
Households running heavy appliances on off-peak tariffs get a dedicated circuit metered correctly to capture the cheaper rate.
Meter Box Relocations
Renovating or moving your switchboard means the meter box often has to shift too, and we manage the full network-connected relocation.
Meter Box Replacement
Ageing or corroded meter boxes on older homes near the foreshore get replaced with a new weatherproof enclosure built to current standards.
Why Metering Choice Matters for Toronto Homes
Toronto's mix of pre-war cottages, post-war brick-veneer homes and newer waterfront units around The Boulevarde means meter setups vary widely from house to house:
- Original meter boxes on older pre-war and post-war homes are ageing and can corrode or fail
- A switchboard relocation during a renovation almost always means the meter has to move too
- Lakeside homes adding solar need a meter that reads export as well as import
- Off-peak tariffs for heavy appliances require the correct dedicated metering
- Any meter change must be reported to and approved by the network operator
If your meter box shows warning signs, it may present as a burning smell in the meter box well before a full replacement becomes unavoidable.
Common Metering Problems We Fix Across Toronto
Ageing meter boxes on older homes
A large share of Toronto's housing dates from the town's early Excelsior-era subdivision through to the post-war decades, and original meter boxes from that era are now well past a reasonable service life.
Meter relocations during renovations
Owner-occupiers renovating older cottages near The Boulevarde commonly need the meter box shifted to a new external wall when the switchboard is relocated.
Solar and smart metering upgrades
Lakeside family homes installing rooftop solar need the meter upgraded so export and import are both measured correctly for billing.
Corroded meter enclosures near the lake
Brackish air off Lake Macquarie corrodes older meter box enclosures and terminals on foreshore homes, and we replace them with sealed, weather-rated units.
Off-peak circuits without proper metering
Homes running heavy appliances on an off-peak tariff sometimes have metering that was never set up correctly for the discount to apply.
