SaskPower is alerting customers to a recall on meter sockets that may affect them

SaskPower has issued a warning that some customers may be contacted about a meter socket recall across Canada from ABB Electrification Canada.

Certain meter sockets manufactured between March and August in 2020 are being proactively recalled by the company, as no incidents caused by faulty sockets have been reported to date.

The sockets, which are the part that electrical metres plug into on the outside of the house, are on recall separately from the metres themselves. 

ABB has commissioned Regina-based Kelin’s Cabling & Electric to inspect affected sockets and make repairs  if needed. 

The recall will affect an estimated 1,000 customers, the Crown said, as the sockets were purchased by contractors and homebuilders to install. 

SaskPower also said that customers will be contacted via a letter on behalf of ABB explaining the recall and outlining the next steps, but the Crown is not otherwise involved in the process except to temporarily disconnect power if repairs are needed.

Customers with any questions can contact ABB at 1 (877) 257-8850 or SaskPower at 1 (888) SKPOWER (757-6937).
