Meter Loops & Service Entrances

# Meter Loops, Meter Poles & New Service

New homes, shops, barns, mobile homes and RV sites need a meter loop or meter pole before the utility or co-op will set a meter. We build them to your utility's specs and coordinate the connection.

What we build

## Service Entrance Work

On a rural property, the meter loop or pole is usually the owner's to build and maintain. Getting it right the first time keeps your hookup on schedule.

Meter loops on the house

Meter base, riser, weatherhead and service wire, ready for the utility.

Meter poles

A meter pole with a main disconnect for a mobile home, shop, well or RV site.

Meter base replacement

Replace a rusted, damaged or undersized meter base.

Underground feeders

Trench and run the feeder from the meter pole to the home or building.

When you need one

## Common Reasons for a New Meter Loop or Pole

- ✓Building a new home, shop or barn
- ✓Setting a mobile home or manufactured home
- ✓Adding power for an RV site, well pump or irrigation
- ✓Your meter base is rusted, loose or damaged after a storm
- ✓Upgrading to a bigger service
- ✓The utility or co-op told you the meter loop doesn't meet their specs

How the hookup works

- We build the meter loop or pole to your utility or co-op's published specs.
- The utility or co-op sets the meter and makes the final connection on their schedule.
- Utility charges for disconnecting, reconnecting or setting a meter aren't included in our price.
- Some co-ops require an inspection or release before they connect. We help you with that step.

How it works

## From First Call to Finished Job

2

On-site visit if needed

Some jobs need us to see them first. On-site consultations are paid and credited toward the job if you accept the proposal (see our [Rate Sheet](https://jladrianelectric.com/rate-sheet?hsLang=en#consultations)).

We do the work

A licensed electrician does the work to code, and we handle the inspection where one is required.

Questions

## Meter Loop FAQ

Who owns the meter loop, me or the utility?

On most properties the meter loop or pole belongs to the owner, and the utility owns the meter and the lines to it. Check with your utility or co-op for your property.

How long until the co-op sets my meter?

That's on the utility or co-op's schedule, and we can't control it. We'll tell you when our part is ready so you can request the connection.

Can you build a meter pole for a mobile home or RV?

Yes. We build meter poles with a main disconnect for mobile homes, RV sites, wells and shops.

Do I need a permit?

It depends on where you are. Inside city limits a permit is usually required. We pull it where required and pass the fee through at cost.

Prices on our website are general information, not an offer.

## Need Power Out to the Property?

Call us, text photos of the job, or request service online. Your price comes in a written proposal.
