Reliable Metering Solutions – From New Installations to Upgrades & Repairs
An Electrical meter is used to calculate the amount of electricity consumed in kilowatt-hours (KWh) while supplying a Premises. An electrical meter helps you and your power company keep track of the power you are using.
In the past, Australian homes used analogue meters, but fast forward to today, and you can find different types of electrical meters available for your property. While the majority of meters serve the core purpose of measuring electricity, the ways we can function are different. Having the right smart meter for your property is an excellent way to begin saving money on your bills!

Upgrading your meter ensures your property is future-ready, energy-efficient, and fully compliant—while giving you greater control over how you use and pay for electricity.
Why You May Need to Upgrade Your Electrical Meter
Upgrading your electrical meter is often essential to meet modern energy demands and comply with current Australian regulations. Older meters may struggle to support higher electrical loads or integrate with newer systems such as solar panels, EV chargers, and smart energy monitoring.
Modern smart meters improve accuracy, safety, and flexibility. They also allow access to Time of Use (TOU) tariffs, where electricity rates vary depending on the time of day—helping you manage energy costs based on how and when you use power.
Smart meters are remotely read using secure 4G technology, removing the need for manual meter readings every quarter. This gives energy retailers instant access to usage data, making it easier to change tariffs, obtain final readings when moving house, or switch electricity providers without delays.

FAQs
There are many reasons why you’ll need/want to upgrade your meter. Older meters may not support modern energy needs like solar systems or higher loads. Upgrading ensures accuracy, safety, and compliance with current regulations. New smart metering also opens up access to all types of tariffs and you can set different billing rates to different times of the day to suit your usage and needs.This is known as time of use (TOU) metering. New smart metering is remote read by a 4g sim card so negates the need for a meter reader to access your property every quarter. It also allows instant access from the retailer so they can change tariffs on the spot or obtain final reads if moving house. It also allows you to change to different retailers easily and instantly with no waiting times for meter reads
Unusual power bills, flickering supply, incorrect readings, or loss of power can indicate a metering issue. A licensed electrician should inspect it immediately.
Most meter installations or upgrades are completed within a few hours, depending on property type and distributor requirements.
No. Electrical meters must be installed or upgraded by licensed electricians and approved by the relevant energy distributor.
Yes, in most cases. Solar systems often require a compatible or smart meter to measure energy import and export accurately.
The metering is done in relation to the power supply feeding your premises. Single-phase meters are used in most homes, as a single phase supply is more common, while three-phase meters support three phase supplies, commonly for premises with higher load demand, appliances requiring 3 phase such as large air conditioning or spa circuits, or larger premises such as commercial and industrial sites.
Meters should be inspected during major electrical upgrades or if billing or power issues occur. Commercial properties may require more frequent checks. New smart meters also get remote health checks done annually to check their operation.
