Caring for Your Home’s Power Bridge
On the outside of your house, there is a metal box that holds the meter from the power company. That box is called a Meter Can, and it’s actually your responsibility to keep it in good shape! Because it lives outside in Miami’s salty air and heavy rain, it can get rusty or damaged over time. If your Meter Can starts to fail, it can cause power blinks or even a fire where the power enters your home. Electrical Services FL is the team you can trust to keep this important bridge in top condition.
The Meter Can is like a “little house” for the meter that tells the power company how much electricity you use. Because it sits outside in the rain and sun, it can get “rusty and grumpy.” We give it a brand-new, strong house so the electricity can stay safe and dry!
Why would you need to replace it? Rust is the biggest enemy here in Miami. If you see orange stains or the metal looks like it’s peeling, the inside of the box might be getting wet. Another reason is if you are upgrading your electrical panel to a bigger size. Sometimes the old Meter Can isn’t big enough to handle the new, stronger power flow. We can look at your box and tell you if it’s still doing its job or if it needs to be retired.
Replacing a Meter Can is a job that requires a lot of coordination. We have to work with the power company to safely turn off the electricity while we swap the boxes. It’s a specialized skill, and we’ve done it thousands of times. We make sure the new box is perfectly sealed against the rain and that all the connections are tight and secure. We treat your home’s exterior with the same care we’d give our own.
We know that having the power turned off for a few hours can be a pain. That is why we are known as Miami’s on-time electricians. We show up when we say we will and get the job done as efficiently as possible. We’ll even help you with the permits and paperwork that the city requires. We want the process to be as easy for you as possible because we value your time.
