Meter Reseal

Meter reseal refers to the process of sealing an electricity meter after it has been moved to a new location or if it has been temporarily unsealed for maintenance or repair purposes. This ensures the integrity and accuracy of the meter readings while also ensuring the safety of individuals and maintaining regulatory compliance.

Reasons for Meter Reseal:

1. Relocation: If the meter has been relocated to a new address or premises, it must be resealed to ensure proper documentation and accountability of the meter's usage at the new location.

2. Maintenance or Repair: In some cases, the meter may need to be unsealed temporarily to carry out maintenance or repair work on the associated switching equipment. Once the work is completed, the meter must be resealed to prevent any unauthorized access or tampering.

Importance of Meter Reseal: Meter resealing is not a free service, and it is important to understand the reasons behind the reseal requirement. The resealing process is necessary to maintain the accuracy of the meter readings and to comply with health and safety regulations. Failure to reseal a meter after it has been unsealed could lead to potential risks, such as inaccurate billing or unauthorized access to electrical components.

Meter Reseal Process:

1. Authorized Companies: Only meter asset companies, authorized by regulatory bodies, have the authority to seal electricity meters. Electricians do not possess this authority.

2. Reporting Unsealed Meters: If your meter becomes unsealed for any reason, it is essential to notify us, your service provider. Ignoring or declining the request for meter reseal could result in power disconnection due to safety concerns. In some cases, the meter asset company or our contracted meter reader may also request us to arrange a reseal if they notice that the meter has been resealed. It is crucial to promptly comply with such requests to ensure regulatory compliance and uphold the integrity of the metering system.

3. Compliance and Fine: It is important to be aware that unauthorized sealing or tampering with the meter may lead to legal consequences, including fines imposed by regulatory authorities.
