What this page covers
Meter area electrical support, switchboard preparation and service equipment checks for smart meter related enquiries.

Service guide
Resolve the preparation issue identified by the meter provider.
A smart-meter appointment may reveal an unsuitable panel, wiring defect, access problem or required switchboard work. The provider's instructions help distinguish a customer electrical repair from the meter installation itself.
Check the requested preparation
We review the provider's stated issue and inspect the accessible board, panel, wiring and space relevant to that request. Older panels may contain asbestos; material assessment or removal must be planned separately rather than disturbed during an enquiry.
- Existing solar, controlled loads and supply phases
- Access to shared or locked meter areas
- Whether power is already disconnected
Agree work and provider responsibilities
The quote identifies electrical repairs or preparation, any required isolation and who arranges the return meter appointment. A new meter does not automatically include a free switchboard upgrade or resolve every wiring defect.
- Clarify who supplies and commissions the meter
- Check required network-authorised work
- Separate retailer tariffs and billing from wiring work
Prepare for the next appointment
After agreed work is tested, the required electrical records and any remaining issues are explained. Share the provider's request privately with unnecessary account information removed; optional photos must be safely accessible with all covers closed.
- Give the suburb and requested appointment or deadline
- Do not send passwords, meter portal logins or access codes
- Retailer scheduling and tariff outcomes cannot be guaranteed

FAQ
Common questions.
Can an electrician install the smart meter?
Smart meter installation is usually arranged through the retailer or metering provider. Evaready can help with property-side electrical preparation and issues.
Can smart meter work involve Level 2 electrical enquiries?
Sometimes. Metering, service equipment, consumer mains or defect issues may need the right Level 2 electrical process.
What should I send for a smart meter enquiry?
Send the suburb, the retailer or metering provider's requested preparation and any notice or deadline. Share necessary provider paperwork privately with unrelated account information removed; do not send meter-portal logins or access codes. Photos are optional: use only safe accessible positions with covers and enclosures closed. Do not climb, enter roof spaces, dig, open equipment or approach hazards for a photo. Never delay an emergency call to collect details.
