Engineering Services FAQ

The design and engineering fee for all new/rework jobs is $500.

Per our Tariff, a certain number of improvements are required on a parcel to show that service will remain for the useful life of the Association’s electrical facilities constructed for that service.

HEA’s tariff (Section 6.2 (g) (3) allows for a maximum of 12 months for construction power.

Submit your Application for New or Rework of Service online via DocuSign, in person at an HEA office, or email the completed application to esrgroup@homerelectric.com.

We do not have an average time frame. Each job is different, and there are many factors to each job.

We do not have a list. Our engineering technicians work through jobs as they receive them.

Once you have your meter base on site or if your location requires a site visit, our Engineering Technicians goal is to contact the applicant within 7 business days of being notified that the site is ready. Our Engineering Technicians group their jobs by area for the best use of time.

When your job is completed, your meter will be active, and you will begin to receive monthly billing statements.

Per the signed Design and Engineering Agreement, if the job is cancelled, you shall pay all costs incurred by HEA to the date of cancellation in connection with the work performed under this agreement. If you cancel your job after release to construction, you are required to pay the full cost of the job. This is broken out in your signed construction agreement.

At this time, HEA does not sell meter bases.

Once financing has been approved, the engineering process can be completed to release the job to the Operations Department for construction. The Operations Department will schedule the work in the order they are received. Please contact the Member Services Group to discuss financing details at (800) 478-8551.

If your job requirements cannot be met before October 1st, the job will be postponed until the following construction season.  If your application was submitted in the previous year, the job will go through the cancellation process come November 1 of the current year if not completed.  HEA can construct overhead year-round.  Check with the Engineering Department to see if overhead construction is applicable in your area.

Our stakes have fluorescent pink tops and have HEA written on them.
