Why scope and cost vary
Every residential service and meter equipment project is a little different. The estimate reflects your property, the equipment involved, and the work required to complete it safely.
Key factors that shape the estimate
Utility requirements and coordination.
Existing equipment condition.
Capacity and panel upgrade scope.
Inspection and permit requirements.
Access to the service entrance.
What's assessed before pricing
Before a number is proposed, the project is reviewed for review of the existing service equipment; confirmation of utility requirements; discussion of capacity and panel coordination. This is why an in-person or detailed review leads to a more accurate estimate than a guess over the phone.
Getting an accurate estimate
Share as much detail as you can about the property and what you want. You'll receive a proposed scope and estimate based on the actual project, not a one-size-fits-all price.
