Construction and Maintenance

Construction and maintenanceHEA’s Engineering division can facilitate the construction of your new electric service. Before beginning construction, please download the Electric Service Requirements (4/11/08) that are particular for your type of construction to learn the requirements for obtaining service.

Some basic guidelines for prompt line installation include:

1.) Applicant must be the property owner or have written authorization for installation of electric service. A complete legal description of property must be provided.

2.) Property corners must be visible and set by a licensed land surveyor.

3.) Site plan or sketch of building layout indicating meter location is requested.

4.) Load data - commercial applications require complete load data.

5.) Right-of-way easements and permits, if required, may delay construction.

6.) Meter loop location must be marked by a stake and flag with your name on it in advance of scheduled construction. House meters should be located on the side of the house closest to the power source.

7.) Member-supplied meter loop must be mounted and ready to be energized before a construction crew arrives at worksite.

8.) The worksite must be accessible to HEA equipment and must be clear of obstructions including trees, brush, building materials, etc.

9.) Temporary building power may be available at your site. Contact HEA for availability and temporary specifications.

10.) Multiple meters must be permanently labeled to identify each apartment they will serve.
