Questions about meter socket problems

Why is my meter socket overheating for Meter Socket Replacement?

Loose connections can cause a meter socket to overheat. Electrician Pittsburgh assesses the socket to identify the source of the heat.

Don't touch the enclosure or attempt to remove the meter. Tell us about the heat and any smell or visible damage, so we can assess the electrical problem.

The meter socket and panel are separate parts of the service. Tell us where you've noticed the problem and whether a breaker has tripped.

Before work begins, what should I do if I smell burning near the meter during the on-site evaluation?

A burning smell near the meter calls for urgent electrical attention. Keep away from the meter and don't touch its cover or wiring.

We can assess the source and discuss the needed repair. If you see fire or face immediate danger, leave the area and contact emergency services.
