Meter Spot Process

If a temporary disconnect of First Electric’s service is required for this installation, please have the homeowner call them to make this request. Homeowners will need to provide the date and approximate time that the disconnect is desired. If the name and phone number of the licensed electrician that will be on-site is available, please provide that information as well. This request should be made at least 2 days before the desired temporary disconnect. Cutting meter seals and/or the pulling of First Electric meters by anyone other than First Electric personnel can result in a tampering charge being applied to an account.
