Electric Meter Hub Repair & Service Replacement in Greenville, SC
Touchstone Electric’s Greenville team, operating from our Taylors branch, completed a targeted meter base and service repair for homeowner Matthew Hartley. This project fell under our Panels & Service Upgrades and Meter Base & Service Replacement specialties, ensuring the home’s electrical service point is safe, secure, and ready for utility reconnection.
Completion date: September 30, 2024 | Technician: Tyler Harris
What We Repaired
After assessing the service entrance in Greenville, our licensed technician addressed two critical issues that were compromising the integrity of the meter base and overhead service conductors.
- Replaced broken meter hub: The damaged hub at the top of the meter base was removed and replaced, restoring a tight, weather-resistant seal where service conductors enter the enclosure.
- Secured the service head to the home: The service head was safely disconnected from the current power lines to be properly re-mounted and secured to the structure, reducing strain on conductors and preventing moisture intrusion.
- Prepared for utility reconnection: With the meter base brought to current standards and the service head correctly supported, Duke Energy was scheduled to complete the final reconnection.
This scope focused on safety, durability, and code-compliant workmanship—protecting the meter enclosure from water ingress and mechanical stress while maintaining proper clearances and support.
Why These Repairs Matter
The meter hub and service head are small components with big responsibilities. A cracked hub or loose service head can allow water into the meter base, stress the conductors, and increase the risk of arcing or corrosion. Securing these parts helps prevent outages, nuisance tripping, and costly damage to the service equipment.
- Weather protection: A new hub restores the seal that keeps rain and debris out of the meter base.
- Mechanical support: A properly secured service head alleviates pull on conductors and fittings.
- Code compliance: Repairs were performed to current standards, supporting a smooth utility reconnection by Duke Energy.

- Visible cracks, gaps, or broken hardware on the meter hub or service head

- Rust, moisture, or staining around the meter base
