What Is Metering Work? Plain English for Tumbi Umbi Homes

Your meter measures the power moving through your service mains before it reaches the switchboard, and it sits right at the boundary between the network and your home. Only a Level 2 ASP is licensed to install, upgrade or relocate it, which makes this specialist work we handle entirely in-house.

New Meter Installation

We install new meters for new builds, granny flats and renovated properties, coordinated directly with the Ausgrid network.

Meter Upgrades

Older single-rate meters are upgraded to modern digital meters that support today's usage and billing needs.

Meter Relocations

Where a renovation or switchboard move calls for it, we relocate your meter to a new position on the property.

Off-Peak & Smart Metering

We install off-peak and smart meters for homeowners moving to time-of-use billing or wanting better visibility of usage.

Solar-Ready Metering

For homes adding solar, we install meters configured to correctly measure both imported and exported power.

Why Metering Choice Matters for Tumbi Umbi Homes

Getting metering work done properly matters because it sits at the point where the network connects to your property, and it needs to be exactly right:

  • Older meters in original Tumbi Umbi homes may not support modern smart or solar billing
  • Renovations that move a switchboard often require the meter to be relocated too
  • AS/NZS 3000 and Ausgrid network requirements apply to every metering job
  • A poorly connected meter can cause nuisance faults across the whole board
  • Workmanship and network coordination vary significantly between installers

Common Metering Problems We Fix Across Tumbi Umbi

01

Original single-rate meters from the 1970s-80s buildout

Many Tumbi Umbi homes still run on original meters that were never designed for today's solar and off-peak billing options, and we upgrade them to current digital meters.

02

Meter box burning smell or scorching

A burning smell or scorch marks near the meter can point to a failing connection, sometimes flagged as meter box burning smell, and needs urgent Level 2 attention.

03

Renovation-driven meter relocations

As original owners renovate 40 to 50 year old brick-veneer and fibro homes across Tumbi Umbi, switchboard moves often require the meter to be relocated in step.

04

No power to the whole property

A fault at the meter connection can cause a total loss of power while the street still has power, an issue we treat as no power to the whole property and prioritise accordingly.
