Retailer mandates
Retailers generally require a new meter for the flat and will upgrade the house metering simultaneously.
Digital metering
Smart meter upgrades
for Sydney granny flats.
Moving from old spinning disc meters to digital smart meters is often mandatory when modifying your connection. We coordinate the board preparation required by energy retailers.
The transition to digital
Why the old meters
must go.
When you add a granny flat, the existing electrical supply is fundamentally altered. Energy regulations generally require that any major supply modification triggers an upgrade to advanced digital metering (smart meters) for the entire site.
Asbestos panels
Older meters are often mounted on asbestos-containing materials (Zelemite) which must be safely replaced.
Defect notices
If the metering provider arrives and the board does not meet requirements, they may issue a defect and leave the site.
Our coordination role
Preparing the site
for your retailer.
We prepare your switchboard so the metering provider appointed by your energy retailer can install the smart meters without delay or defects.
Panel replacement
Safe removal of hazardous panels and installation of compliant, fire-rated metering panels.
Pre-wiring
Wiring the board to meet metering provider specifications to facilitate smooth installation.
Isolation switches
Installing distinct metering isolation links for the primary dwelling and the granny flat.
