An electric transformer does not send electricity to the meter it supplies a source of power that is requested by the demand of the load. The meter is a device which totals the amount of power that you use. This is the amount that you are billed for. If your electrical bill is high only you can reduce it by decreasing the load demand.

It is not entirely clear to me what you are asking, however I will answer the question I think you want the answer for. When the electric company technician unplugs the old kilowatt hour meter that will disconnect the electric power from your house of business. When the electric company technician plugs in the new kilowatt hour meter that will reconnect the electric power to your house of business. For his own safety before switching the meters the electric company technician will probably disconnect the electric power from your house of business on the power pole or in the utility transformer box before beginning the work. So, yes you will have no electric power while this work is being done.
