After a given period, your home’s electricity meter requires repair due to a burn, wire damage, and so on. Over time, the meter may become malfunctioning, resulting in a high electricity bill. You have the option of replacing your electric meter. You can do this by writing an application for electricity meter change by stating the appropriate reason. Let us now look at how to write an application for electricity meter change to the electric department.
While writing an application for electricity meter change, the electric department comes under the government and hence we must use a formal and polite language. An application for electricity meter change is a formal letter. You must also mention the reason why you want to change your electric meter. The reasons could be as follows:
You must write your application according to your specific reason with adequate information. For example, if you have a wire damage, then you must write an application for an electrical wire modification and include it as your subject.
Subject: Application for ____________ (state your reason)
Body of the letter: Mention your name, address, consumer ID, meter no., etc. Also state your reason for electricity meter change.
The format remains the same whether you write an application for an electrical wire change or an application for a burned-out electricity meter, as described in the article.

Subject: Application for Electricity Meter Change
My name is Samiksha Shetty, and I live at Krushna Kunj Apartment in Prabhadevi. I have an electric connection with consumer number 9772513 and am writing to inquire about the electricity meter that has been assigned to me.
I’d like to inform you that the electricity meter with meter number AR582CB is not working properly. I’ve had an issue with my electricity bill over the previous few months, and I’d want to tell you that it has ranged from 2000 to 2500 since the beginning. However, in the previous four months, my electricity bill has topped Rs. 8000, despite no change in billing criteria or electrical usage at my residence.
For your convenience, I have attached my electricity bills for the past year. I am confident that there is a problem with the meter, and I ask that you please address it as quickly as possible. I would appreciate it if you could check into the situation and assist me with changing the electrical meter as soon as possible. I will be eternally grateful.

With due respect, I want to bring to your attention that the electric meter installed in my home has been out of service for the past two months due to the use of damaged wires. The wire needs to be replaced because it is causing circuit problems in practically every room of our house, and the meter reading is not working as a result. There is also a hazard to the meter room as a result of this issue.
Given the conditions, I sincerely request that you dispatch your workers as soon as possible to replace the meter wires so that the meter can be read accurately and the right energy bills may be generated.
