Meter, mast and storm damage repair
When the wind off the lake takes a tree into the line, the meter and mast usually come off with it. The utility owns the wire to your house. Everything from the mast down is yours, and they will not reconnect until it is fixed and inspected. That part is my job.
What I handle
- Meter socket and meter box replacement
- Service mast and weatherhead repair
- Service entrance cable and drop line work
- Grounding and outside service disconnects
- Multi-meter banks for doubles and apartment buildings
- Coordination with NYSEG or National Grid for reconnect
When to call
- The meter is hanging, cracked or on the ground
- The mast is bent or pulled away from the siding
- Half the house has power and half does not
- Water got into the meter box or the panel
- The utility left a tag saying you need an electrician

What customers said
Fantastic experience with Chuck and his guys. Had a full service replacement from the outdoor drop line, to the outdoor meter box with a new outside service disconnect and grounding, all wired into a new circuit breaker in the garage. He also swapped out the basement subpanel and undersized feeder line at the same time, both done in several hours and for less than what T-Mark was going to charge for JUST the outside work/garage panel. Long story short, I’ll be going to Chuck any time I need some quality electrical work. No gimmicks, no flash, just solid work.
We had a bad wind storm last night (3/15) and multiple electric poles were knocked over from a tree falling across the road. During so, it completely tore off our electic meter. CFW Electric was already at my neighbors, so we asked about our house. They immediately were able to give us prices, work with our budget AND get the job done within hours. With the cold weather coming back and having young children, I am so thankful for them and the quick fix! My husband and I definitely recommend and will be using their services again. Adding before and after photos. The after photo is before being hooked back up to the pole.
Called CFW Electric LLC for breaker box, meter housing, and frayed wire replacement after NYSEG visit post-power outage. Charles Wegrzyn immediately called back, negotiated a quote based on a description and pictures. He dropped everything, arriving with his crew, and took care of the installation immediately after contacting NYSEG and set up the inspection process to follow. Great work ethic, knowledgeable, and personable. I would definitely use this company again without hesitation. My thanks to Chuck for being the take-charge expert I was looking for.
CFW Electric was very responsive when I had an emergency electrical situation several weeks ago on the weekend. He arrived quickly, and soon diagnosed and fixed the problem. I was so pleased with his competence, I asked him to upgrade my electrical from 100 to 200 amp service. That was quickly and cleanly handled as well. He coordinated permitting and inspection with the town and electrical connection with NYSEG. My power was only off for 5 hours for the whole job. He also corrected three electrical safety code violations that my (now former) HVAC contractor had caused. I feel I received exceptional service for a fair price and would use CFW again.
Questions people ask
- Who do I call first, the utility or you?
- If a line is down, call the utility first and stay away from it. Then text me photos of the meter and mast. I can usually tell you right away what needs replacing.
- Can you come the same day?
- Most of the time, yes. After a big storm everybody calls at once, so text early and I will tell you honestly when I can be there.
- Will the utility reconnect me after you fix it?
- Once the repair passes inspection, yes. I handle the inspection and let the utility know it is ready.
