Electric meter safety
Meters and other electrical equipment may be located on the outside of a home or building. The meter measures the amount of electricity used. Never tamper with this or any electrical equipment. It is illegal to tamper with the meter.
CenterPoint Energy owns and is responsible for installing and maintaining the meter. The customer owns and is responsible for installing and maintaining its electrical equipment, including but not limited to, the weatherhead, meter can, breaker box (including the breakers within) and in most cases the underground residential service drops. The customer should contact a qualified electrician to address problems or issues with customer-owned equipment.
