Service alteration     

To apply for a service alteration:

• You can call 1800 372 757 or +353 21 2386555.
• You can also email esbnetworks@esb.ie 

Please have your Meter Point Reference Number (MPRN) to hand.

If the ESB Networks meter is also being relocated, ESB Networks need to be advised at the time of the request for the service alteration.  

If the service cable is being relocated underground, your contractor will need to install an underground duct for the cables to run through. You will need to inform ESB Networks when the duct is ready.  

Your electrical contractor will need to do whatever internal wiring alterations are necessary to relocate the meter to the new position. A completion certificate must then be submitted by the contractor when they have this work done.  

Once the payment, wiring cert and ducting (if applicable) have been received, we will complete the service alteration within 5 to 6 weeks.

There is a charge for a service alteration which must be paid in advance.

• Standard service alterations
Standard service alteration changes cover moving a small pole, single underground/overhead connection to the meter. A further charge may apply where additional work is required. Any additional costs will be quoted by your local ESB Networks office and invoiced separately.
• Non-standard alterations
Costs will be quoted by your local ESB Networks office.
• Commercial premises alterations
Costs will be quoted by your local ESB Networks office.
