Electrical Meter Base & Service Riser Replacement in Ninety Six, SC
Touchstone Electric completed a residential meter base and service riser project in Ninety Six, SC, delivering a safe, code-conscious upgrade for reliable power delivery. This job was coordinated through our Greenville branch based in Taylors and handled by our licensed technician, Tyler Harris.
For homes experiencing damage to the exterior electrical service, addressing the riser and weatherhead promptly helps protect the meter base and panel from water intrusion, physical stress, and future outages. Our team managed the entire process from permitting to utility coordination to minimize downtime and ensure a smooth experience.
Project scope and professional steps
- Utility coordination: Scheduled a Duke Energy disconnect/reconnect window to perform work safely.
- Permitting handled: Obtained the necessary permit for the service modification.
- Riser and weatherhead: Replaced the 1-1/4 inch PVC service riser and installed a new weatherhead for a weather-resistant, code-aligned service mast.
- Conduit support: Re-secured the conduit to the home using proper, spaced straps for long-term stability.
- LB repair: Repaired and re-secured the LB conduit body located beneath the panel to the building.
- Meter base assessment: Inspected the existing meter base for issues such as bent lugs and discussed that, if damage were discovered, a change order for replacement would be required.
The meter base and grounding system were not included in the scope unless a separate change order was approved. The package for this riser and weatherhead work includes PVC conduit between the meter base and weatherhead and, if needed, a new service entrance cable. On this project, no new service wire was required, and a discount was applied accordingly.
Why this service matters for Ninety Six homeowners
Your riser, weatherhead, and meter base form the first line of defense for your home’s electrical system. Damage, loose supports, or failing fittings can allow moisture in, strain conductors, and create nuisance power issues. Replacing worn components and securing conduit with proper straps helps:
- Improve safety by reducing stress on conductors and terminations
- Enhance weather resistance at the service entry
- Bring exterior components into alignment with current code requirements
- Extend the lifespan of your electrical service equipment
