I have had the seal replaced on mine twice and never received a charge. Just happened to notice it was broken one day while mowing the lawn and noticed a new one on it a couple months later. Second time a tree branch fell and ripped the box and pole off the house. Neighbor is an electrician and he helped me replace it. I put a new box on the wall and he clipped the wires then we put the pole back up and he reconnected them and we plugged the old meter back into the new box and a couple months later a new seal appeared on it.
