Smart meter installation on the Central Coast: how it works, how long it takes, what it costs
Retailer, metering provider, Level 2 electrician: who does what, and why your solar can be held up by a meter.
Read the guide →New meter required? Solar export locked out? We do smart meter installs across the Coast - usually within 5 business days of booking.

Smart meters are progressively replacing older electricity meters across NSW, including for new connections, solar installations, switchboard upgrades, meter faults and retailer-initiated upgrades. Anaconda Electrical is an Ausgrid-accredited Level 2 ASP and is also accredited with major metering providers including Plus ES, Bluecurrent (formerly Vector Metering) and Intellihub. We install single-phase and three-phase smart meters across the Central Coast.
Agree a 1-2 hour window with us; we lodge the metering request with your retailer.
We check your meter panel has space and is compliant; if not, we quote the upgrade at the same time.
Power off for around 30-60 minutes while we remove the old meter and install and commission the new one.
Meter energised, data handshake tested, retailer notified; you get a CCEW.
All meters installed are approved Types under AS 4777 where relevant, with full commissioning data handshakes to the metering provider and a CCEW to you.
We deliver smart meter installation to homes, builders and commercial properties across the Central Coast. From Peninsula suburbs like Woy Woy and Umina through the Gosford CBD, Erina and the beaches, up to the Lakes district and Budgewoi.
