Service Line to Meter Connection

Expert installation of utility service connections

About Our Service Line to Meter Connection Service

Madison Electric installs the critical connection between utility service lines and your metering equipment. Our service line to meter connection ensures power flows safely from the utility’s delivery point through your measurement device to your main electrical panel. We size conductors correctly for your service capacity, make secure connections using approved methods, and install proper protection and grounding throughout the service entrance. Your service entrance connection represents the most important electrical junction on your property. Our electricians follow strict procedures for connecting service conductors to metering equipment, ensuring every connection is tight, properly torqued, and protected from weather. We coordinate the timing of these connections with utility service activation and verify that everything functions correctly before considering the work complete.

What’s Included in Our Service Line Connection Service

When you need a reliable and safe connection from the utility supply to your home’s electrical system, Madison Electric handles the full service‑line connection process with skill and care.

Site Assessment & Service Entry Planning

We inspect your property and plan the best route for the service line, whether overhead or underground, to ensure compliance with local codes and utility requirements.

Coordination with Utility Supply Lines

We coordinate with the utility provider to align the start of your service line connection with their distribution network, ensuring a smooth handoff at the service point.

Safe Disconnection and Setup Preparation

Before beginning the work, we safely disconnect existing supply (if any) and prepare your meter base and panel area for new service entry — protecting your property during the process.

Installation of Service Conductors and Mast or Conduit

We run the service wires (or appropriate conduit) from the supply point to the meter base, using proper supports, weather‑proofing (for overhead lines), and suitable material based on load and safety standards.

Meter Base and Main Panel Connection

Once service lines reach your meter base, we make secure, code‑compliant connections to integrate the service with your meter and main electrical panel.

Grounding and Bonding Setup

We establish proper grounding and bonding for the service entry to protect against electrical faults, surges, and ensure safe operation of your system.

Functionality Testing and Inspection

After installation, we test voltage, load capacity, and overall integrity of the connection to confirm stable power supply and safety compliance.

Clean Finish, Documentation, and Handover

We tidy up the installation site, secure all components, and provide documentation or guidance you may need for utility inspection, meter activation, or future maintenance.
