Our Metering Services in Boolaroo
New Meter Installs
We install new meters for new builds, granny flats, and renovations, coordinated directly with Ausgrid for network approval.
Meter Upgrades
Older analog meters get upgraded to modern digital or smart meters, supporting solar, off-peak, or time-of-use billing.

Where a renovation or switchboard move needs the meter shifted, we relocate it safely and keep the connection compliant.
Solar & Smart Metering
Households adding solar or wanting usage visibility get a smart meter fitted and commissioned correctly.
Why Metering Choice Matters for Boolaroo Homes
Getting metering work done properly matters because it sits at the connection point between the network and your home, and errors here affect billing accuracy and safety alike:
- Older analog meters in pre-war Boolaroo cottages are approaching end of service life
- A poorly terminated meter connection can overheat or arc at the box
- Solar households need correctly configured export metering to bill accurately
- Ausgrid requires network notification for most metering changes
- Workmanship and compliance vary significantly between installers
A meter box burning smell is a clear sign the metering connection needs urgent attention, not a DIY fix.
Common Metering Problems We Fix Across Boolaroo
Ageing analog meters
Original village-grid homes around Main Road and First Street commonly still run older analog meters that are due for a modern digital upgrade.
Meter relocations during renovation
Renovations of Boolaroo's pre-war fibro and weatherboard cottages regularly require the meter box moved to a new external wall location.
Incorrect solar export metering
New solar installs at properties near the Weemala at the Lake estate sometimes need the meter reconfigured to correctly record export and import.
Overheating or arcing meter connections
A loose or corroded meter terminal can overheat and scorch the meter box, a fault only a Level 2 ASP can safely rectify.
