What is a meter box?

An electricity meter box (also referred to as an outside meter cubicle) holds the electricity equipment when this equipment is outside the property. The box is designed to protect the equipment.

The meter box is the property and responsibility of the property owner, however, if the meter box needs replacing, NIE Networks will assist by turning off the power whilst your builder or handyman replaces the meter box. You can buy an electricity meter box from most builder's merchants and online too.
