There would be no more surge than with any other power outage.

Our meter was replaced yesterday. Knock on the door, card on the door. By the time I got to the door and outside meter was already changed. Lost power for less than 2 minutes. Took another minute for power, pool equipment and WiFi to return. Have set up their website, to build profile that will provide enhanced user data. Not sure what that entails since it may take up to 60 for data integration, to view daily usage, and other info.
Other than the evil reset of clock on range and one old clock. It was painless. Very nice young man in a seco truck, with identification. I needed to check if pool equipment needed shut down first. That was a No, then took a few minutes to answer couple other questions.
The meter part itself isn’t large. It was changed very quickly..
