electric meters

I am upgrading a service from 100 amp to 150 amp, can I use the same meter?

Probably. But that will be up to your Local Utility they will be the ones to change out /or not the meter. At least that is the way it is here in Maine.

I would guess you have to call the poco to do it anyway, and they will take care of it, but it also might say what amperage it is rated at. I have found thatin the past the 100 amp meter was different than the 200/150 amp. Don't see many 100 amp services now but the new ones probably do both.

As been said the poco will deal with meter. What you need know is the rating of your meter can and service wires

I just ran into this situation earlier this week when I was doing a service upgrade. The meter itself was fine, but the meter pan was only rated up to 100 amps. I had to install a new meter pan, but the old meter could be used with the upgraded service.
