Establish new electric or gas service or upgrade existing service by following these three steps:

1. Fill out the appropriate application and find out what should happen before and after you apply (the information below provides more detail on this step).
2. Schedule a mandatory local inspection to receive your Certificate of Approval (or cut-in card) prior to our scheduled service date.
3. Prepare your site for installation.

Before you apply

Plan in advance - Residential service requests may take up to six weeks to complete. Commercial or industrial requests may take longer. Availability of service, the acquisition of road opening permits, and municipal inspections may cause time frames to vary. Submit your completed applications as early as possible, as they are processed in the order they are received. Call to speak with a Construction Inquiry representative if you need guidance.
