What electrical service relocation involves
Relocating electrical service requires coordination, compliance, and precise execution.

We assess your existing service size, panel capacity, grounding system, and clearance requirements to determine the correct relocation scope and avoid utility rejection.
Utility coordination and disconnect scheduling
Electrical service relocation requires coordination with the power company for temporary disconnect and reconnection. Timing, documentation, and approvals must be aligned before work begins.
Meter base and service entrance relocation
The meter socket, service mast, weatherhead, and service entrance conductors are repositioned to meet code-required height, setback, and working clearance standards.
