The product
Are your existing gas or electric meter box doors damaged? This product offers a fast and affordable DIY solution! This overbox is suitable for gas and electric recessed (inset) meter boxes. It’s commonly the case that inset meter boxes are not only the most disruptive to repair, but also the most costly. Avoid this inconvenience with this favoured solution designed to fit over an existing damaged meter box. This overbox can be used for gas or electric meter box installations with a vent position above or below the meter door, and is suitable for all kinds of weather conditions due to its durability. Whether both your current boxes are damaged, or you would like to replace unsightly boxes; this product offers the solution.
As mentioned above, the difficulty and cost of fixing an inset meter box can be huge, but don’t be duped into purchasing a cheaper alternative that will only cause you greater problems down the line. Purchase highly durable overboxes, such as ours that are crafted from high impact engineering grade Thermoplastic polymer material; providing protection for years to come!
