Electricity meter change
Since autumn 2022 and until the end of 2024, we will replace all electricity meters in Gothenburg. We start in Kvillebäcken and will then gradually speed up the rollout. You will of course be notified on beforehand before we visit you.
Eltel execute the meter change
The company Eltel will execute the actual electricity meter change. Therefore, they are the ones who will be in touch with more detailed information as the meter change in your household approaches.
If your meter is located inside or outside the house
How well in advance you will receive information about time and date for your change, and how specific this information is, depends on where your meter is located. If it is located indoors, we might need your help to reach it. In that case, you will be appointed to a time and date for the change. If it is located outdoors, or in a central location in the property, for example in a multi-occupied building, Eltel will handle the replacement, and you will receive an approximate date of when the change will take place.
For your safety, Eltel’s installers are able to present identification with a certificate of competence issued by Eltel and Göteborg Energi.

If your meter is located inside the house
Please make sure that the installer has free access to the meter. A person aged 18 or older needs to be present as the change takes place.

Please note!
If your meter is located inside your house, you, or a person aged 18 or older, need to be at home for the change. You or that person need to be able to show the installer where the electricity meter is located.
When the installer replaces your meter, the electricity will be switched off for about 15-20 minutes. This might affect the lift, utility room, internet connection and other functions dependent on electricity.
Prior to our visit, please clean up any items that might obscure the meter. This allows for a smooth change.
We like animals, but not during electrical work. Please see to that no pets get in our installers’ way.
If you have your own equipment connected to the meter, the functions of that equipment will be erased with the meter change.
