Jemena replaces meters as part of its standard maintenance program. When it’s time for a meter to be replaced, it will appear on a schedule and the meter will be replaced.
Replacement of old meters is done in the best interest of the customer to ensure that the meter is operating effectively. When the meter is scheduled for replacement it doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the meter, but because they have a lifecycle and they often sit outside in the elements, we periodically exchange them for a newer model or unit. Jemena meter readers may also notice that a meter looks older or is showing signs of wear and tear, and request replacement outside the normal scheduled replacement cycle.
As the meter is Jemena's property, we are entitled to enter the property to replace it. We'll contact you to schedule the replacement of your meter.
