1. Your Meter Base belongs to you.

You may be wondering who is responsible for the maintenance and repair of the meter base providing electricity to your home. Meters bases are installed by the consumer and are to be maintained by the consumer. Although ANGLEC facilitates maintenance by disconnecting and reconnecting the power to the meter base, the consumer must schedule this service by applying at ANGLEC’s main office.

Be sure to bring a valid form of identification and your account information when you come to request your disconnection.

2. It could be costing you extra on your bill

In addition to being a safety risk, corroded or damaged meter bases can result in higher energy consumption and more expense to you. Letting your meter base go longer than 6 months-1 year without a check up isn’t worth the risk to your home or your pocket!

3. You’ll need to hire an independent contractor

As the consumer/owner, maintaining and repairing your meter base lies in your hands. When hiring an electrician to maintain, repair or replace your meter base or other electrical equipment, remember these tips:

• Contractors charge different fees. It’s always best to call around and compare price quotes.
• Avoid demands for full payments prior to work being completed.
• Keep in mind that the lowest bid isn’t always the best option. Get customer references and check to see if those customers were satisfied. Key items to assess: timeliness, skill, workmanship and service).
