The weather head and meter base are where the utility's power meets your home's wiring, and damage here can mean anything from a flickering house to a full outage.

We're not about gimmicks or flash, just licensed electricians who get the wiring right the first time.
Why This Connection Matters
The weather head and meter base sit outside, exposed to storms, wind, and years of weather, and they're often the last thing homeowners think about until something fails. A cracked mast, a loose meter base, or storm damage here can create a serious safety hazard right where the utility's power enters your home.
Repairs at this connection point require coordination with your utility to safely disconnect and restore service, work that needs to be done correctly the first time.
