Electrical question: Toronto Hydro Customer Action Form for defect
Today Toronto hydro came over unexpectedly because my meter wasn't sending signals and they needed to replace the face of the meter. When they did this, something broke and they issued me a Customer Action form.
This is what it says:
Identified Deficiencies: Top Right Line side jaw has broken off
Work performed: Meter installed to temporarily hold jaws in place and give customer power, meter is secured temporarily jaw will come off when removing meter.
Instructions to the customer: Get electrician to either replace meter base or repair jaw. Isolation required.
I'm not sure what this means.
Is this something that can be repaired easily? my outside meter square box is old and I live in an old century home..
If i'm replacing the meter base, does Toronto Hydro need to shut off the power? etc?
Currently I have 100A, maybe this is the time to upgrade to 200A since they are doing so much outside if i'm replacing.
It's starting to sound expensive, any help appreciated...
