Most homes have the 2 phases of Line power disconnected by the rated panel main Circuit Breaker AFTER the meter socket.
Unless you physically disconnect the feed @ the Weather Head, the Meter socket will remain hot in most homes.
Common practice in the trade is to ask the guy holding two hot utility lines in his hands; what time it is?
Performing a "Hot Tap" with split nuts or a crimper is not for those without the knowledge, skills or equipment.
