Large Meter Replacement Services You Can Trust
At Metering Services, Inc., we specialise in large meter change-outs backed by deep technical expertise and strong relationships with leading meter manufacturers (including Itron). Our field personnel receive training directly from manufacturers, ensuring that each replacement follows best practices for installation, sealing, and calibration.
Because we stock a wide variety of meter parts and assemblies, we can respond quickly to replacement programs, even large projects. Our heaters, toolkits, and replacement inventory are prepared for rapid deployment. This efficiency, combined with our rigorous safety protocols, means minimal service interruption and reliable long-term meter performance.
Key benefits include:
- Accurate measurement and flow calibration for large-scale systems
- Reduced risk of system downtime or billing errors
- Full compliance with municipal, state, and industry standards
- Professional installation by certified, experienced technicians
Once the assessment is complete, we remove the existing meter and install a new large water meter using manufacturer-approved fittings and alignment methods. Our mobile crews are equipped with advanced tools and spare parts to complete replacements efficiently, even in high-demand or hard-to-access systems.
