Electrical Meter & Service Entrance Repair in Lawrenceville, GA
A rusted meter base, a leaning mast or storm-damaged weatherhead is a safety issue and a code violation. We repair and replace service-entrance equipment and coordinate the utility disconnect.
The service entrance is the equipment between the utility's wires and your meter and panel: the weatherhead, service mast or lateral, the meter base (meter can), and the service-entrance conductors. It lives outdoors, takes weather and storm damage, and is the homeowner's responsibility on the customer side of the connection.
Service-entrance work we do
- Meter base replacement — cracked, rusted, burned or pulling-away meter cans
- Service mast repair or replacement — bent, corroded or storm-loosened masts
- Weatherhead repair and resealing to stop water tracking down into the meter and panel
- Service-entrance conductor replacement
- Reattaching or relocating the point of attachment after storm damage
- Converting or repairing overhead and underground services
- Meter base and panel combo (all-in-one) replacement
- Correcting improper past work ahead of a service upgrade or home sale
- Coordinating the utility disconnect and reconnect, and the county inspection
Storm damage
High wind can tear the service drop loose and pull the mast over, which can crack the meter base and let water in. If wires are down or arcing, treat it as an emergency — call your utility and our 24/7 line. We make it safe, then repair the mast, weatherhead and meter base to code so the utility can reconnect.
Meter vs. panel vs. service
These often get confused. The meter and its base measure and receive power; the panel distributes it inside; the service is the whole path and its amperage rating. Meter and service-entrance repairs are frequently done together with a panel replacement or service upgrade — we'll tell you what your situation actually needs.

FAQ
Electrical Meter & Service Entrance in Lawrenceville, GA — Questions
My meter base is rusted and cracked. Is that dangerous?
Yes. A compromised meter base lets water into the electrical system and can arc or fail. It should be replaced promptly, and it's a common item flagged on home inspections.
Who is responsible for the service mast and weatherhead - me or the power company?
Generally the utility owns the wires up to the point of attachment, and the homeowner owns the mast, weatherhead, meter base and everything from there in. We repair the customer-side equipment.
Will my power be shut off for meter base work?
Yes, briefly. The utility disconnects at the meter or the pole while we work, then reconnects and the county inspects. We schedule and coordinate all of it.
A storm knocked my service line loose. What do I do?
If wires are down or sparking, stay clear, call your utility and our 24/7 line. We'll make it safe and rebuild the mast, weatherhead and meter base to code for reconnection.
