Resetting your electricity meter in Ireland typically isn't required. Most modern meters, especially smart meters, automatically adjust to changes in power usage.

However, if you're facing specific issues or need to reset a traditional meter, it's best to contact your energy supplier. They can provide specific instructions or arrange for a technician to visit your property.

Here are some common reasons why a meter reset might be needed:

1. Power Outages: After a power outage, the meter might need to be reset to accurately record energy consumption.
2. Meter Malfunction: If the meter is displaying unusual readings or not functioning correctly, a reset might be required.

Remember: Tampering with an electricity meter is illegal and can lead to severe penalties.
