Electric Meter Overbox

Overview

As electricity meters are often located outside of properties, they are placed and secured inside electricity meter boxes. These meter boxes protect meters from the weather and vandalism. Although Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) meter boxes are strong and durable, they are not immune to damage due to vandalism or by a loose door getting caught by the wind as well as general wear and tear.

Tricel’s K Frame electric meter overbox is designed to repair damaged or broken electric meter box units. The K protector frame is a cost-effective overbox solution.

​The benefits of using a K Frame electric meter overbox

ESB approved

Our over boxes, including K Frames, have been designed in conjunction with ESB and thus are approved by the ESB Networks.

Ease of installation & cost saving

With the K frame electric meter overbox, a competent person/DIY’er can carry out a permanent in-situ repair to a broken ESB electricity box at a fraction of the cost.

Going ahead with a complete meter box replacement could cost hundreds of euro as the electricity supply would have to be disconnected. The K Frame electric overbox perfectly fits over the existing and damaged recessed meter box, eliminating the need to cut the power supply at any point.

The end result is a repaired meter box that is as good as the original box. See above for more specific information to both of Tricel’s K Frame electric meter overboxes.
