Meter Upgrades
The equipment the utility will not touch
Rocky Mountain Power owns the meter; you own the socket, the mast and everything behind it. When they red-tag your equipment, that is our work.
Combo Meter-Main Panels
Meter-main combination units installed where the service entrance and main disconnect are combined.
Meter Relocation
Moving the meter for additions, decks, siding, garages or clearance violations, coordinated with the utility.
Mast & Weatherhead Repair
Bent, pulled or leaking masts repaired or replaced, including riser and clearance corrections.
Red Tag Corrections
Utility disconnect notices and inspection corrections turned around quickly so your power comes back.
Permit & Reconnect
Permit, inspection and meter release handled, with the reconnect scheduled the same day where possible.
How a meter upgrade runs
Meter work always involves the utility, so the schedule matters as much as the labor. We front-load the coordination.
- 1Assessment
We inspect the socket, mast, conductors and grounding, and photograph the condition for the permit and utility.
- 2Permit and disconnect
Permit pulled and the utility disconnect scheduled so the outage window is planned, not open-ended.
- 3Replacement
New base or combo unit set, conductors re-terminated, mast and clearances corrected, everything sealed weathertight.
- 4Inspection and meter set
AHJ final, meter release issued, utility resets the meter, and we verify voltage before we leave.

Meter Upgrades FAQs
Meter upgrade questions
The power company disconnected my service and said to call an electrician. What does that mean?+
It means the equipment you own, usually the meter socket or mast, failed their inspection. They will not reconnect until a licensed electrician repairs it, the city inspects it and the utility receives the meter release. We handle all three steps.
Who owns the meter, me or Rocky Mountain Power?+
The utility owns the meter itself. You own the socket it plugs into, the mast, the service conductors on your side and the panel. That is why meter socket repairs are billed to the homeowner.
How long will power be off for a meter base replacement?+
Typically four to eight hours on the day of the change-out, depending on how fast the utility releases and resets. We schedule the inspector in the same window to avoid an overnight outage.
Can the meter be moved to a different wall?+
Usually yes, with utility approval. Cost depends on how far the new location is from the drop or lateral and whether trenching is needed. We confirm with the utility before quoting.
Is a meter upgrade the same as a service upgrade?+
Not necessarily. You can replace a damaged meter base while keeping the same amperage. Increasing amperage means new conductors and usually a new panel too, which is a full service upgrade.
