Residential Meter Stacks and modular metering solution
Reasons for replacing the electric meter
You should replace your electric meter box if you notice any physical damage—such as cracks, dents, or rust—or if there are signs of overheating like burn marks or unusual smells. Frequent electrical issues, including flickering lights or repeated breaker trips, can also indicate that the meter box is failing.
A replacement is often necessary when upgrading your home’s electrical system, adding new high-demand appliances, or if the existing meter box is old and no longer meets current electrical codes.
For safety and accuracy, a professional inspection by a licensed electrician is always recommended to determine the best solution.
Signs that indicate a need for replacement:
Visible Damage:
Cracks, dents, broken doors, or missing hinges.
Corrosion:
Rust or corrosion on the box's interior or exterior, which can weaken its structure.
Overview of Residential Meter Stacks
Residential meter stacks are modular metering solutions designed for multi-tenant applications, such as apartment complexes and duplexes. They allow for multiple meter sockets to be installed in a single enclosure, providing a space-efficient way to manage electrical metering for several units.
Residential meter stacks are designed to make multi-tenant metering safe, efficient, and easy to service. Their galvanized-steel enclosures offer strong protection against rust and weathering, giving them long-lasting durability. Because these systems are modular, they can be configured with as many meter positions as a property needs—ideal for duplexes, triplexes, apartment buildings, and other multi-unit installations.
Many modern meter stacks also use fastener-free meter bases, which helps reduce the likelihood of hot spots and improves overall reliability. Separate access panels allow electricians to reach tenant breaker and wireway sections without having to remove or disturb the meters themselves, making maintenance quicker and safer.

Panel change information submission
The Electric Panel Specialists
We've been changing electric panels in Arizona since 1978. Over 45 years since I opened my business replacing electric panels. A lot has changed since then. That's why it's important to contact some one with the experience to know how things were done back then. We've seen all the changes in the equipment as well as the changes of all the codes through the years. Electric vehicle chargers, solar and swimming pool installs comprise a majority of our work. We changed 680 panels in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, Chandler, Queen Creek, Gilbert, Apache Junction, Sun City, Glendale and the metropolitan area in 2023. It takes experience and common sense to visualize the best method to go from a 1940 electric panel to a modern 200, 400 or solar ready panel. It takes some one with experience to determine which panel is needed for the new insta - hot water heaters, spa's and electric cars as well as solar back feeds. Feel free to pick my brain any time. Advice is free and we are typically hundreds if not thousands less expensive than out competitors. See for yourself. Estimates are also free.
