Our Metering Services in Newcastle
New Meter Installation
We install new meters for renovated apartments, new builds and reconnections across the Honeysuckle and Hunter Street precincts, fully compliant and network-approved.
Meter Upgrades
Older single-phase meters on pre-1940 terraces are upgraded to handle modern apartment fit-outs and added household load.
Meter Relocations
Renovating or moving your switchboard? We relocate your meter to the new position, coordinated fully with Ausgrid.
Off-Peak Metering
We install off-peak metering for hot water and other controlled loads, wired correctly to separate tariff circuits.
Solar & Smart Metering
Adding solar or switching to smart metering, we install and commission the meter to work correctly with your supply.
Salt-Air Rated Enclosures
Every meter box we fit near the beach and harbour uses salt-air rated enclosures, built to resist coastal corrosion for the long term.
Multi-Meter Boards
Apartment buildings and converted commercial premises across the city centre often need multi-meter boards, and we install and label these so every tenancy is metered correctly and safely.
Why Metering Choice Matters for Newcastle Homes
Getting metering work right matters because a poorly installed or ageing meter connection can cause nuisance faults, delay a renovation sign-off, or leave a building non-compliant, and correcting it later is always more costly than getting it right the first time:
- Many pre-1940 terraces and converted buildings still run original metering
- Apartment conversions in Honeysuckle often need new or relocated meters
- Off-peak and smart metering both need correct network coordination
- AS/NZS 3000 compliance applies to every metering connection
- Salt air off the harbour and Newcastle Beach shortens the life of exposed meter boxes
Old or damaged metering is a common trigger for a burning smell from the meter box, which needs urgent attention from a Level 2 ASP.
Common Metering Problems We Fix Across Newcastle
Ageing metering in heritage buildings
Pre-1940 terraces and commercial conversions around Hunter and King Streets often still run original metering that no longer suits current household or tenancy load.
Apartment renovations needing new meters
Ongoing conversion of old CBD buildings to apartments and hospitality venues in Honeysuckle regularly triggers new meter installs and relocations.
Salt-air corrosion at the meter box
Coastal exposure beside Newcastle Beach and the harbour accelerates corrosion of external meter enclosures and terminals in the city centre.
No power to the whole property
A faulty metering connection can present as no power to the whole property while the street still has power, and we diagnose it correctly against the mains.
Meter relocations for renovations
Switchboard or meter box repositioning during a fit-out or renovation needs a Level 2 ASP to relocate the meter safely and to network requirements.
Multi-tenancy metering errors
Converted buildings with several tenancies sharing one meter board sometimes have incorrectly wired or mislabelled circuits, and we correct the metering so billing and safety line up properly.
