We can help adjust your electrical service to facilitate construction, renovation or maintenance projects at your home, business or work site.
As you begin planning your project, it's important to consider the electrical work needed to complete the work safely, from start to finish. A licensed electrician can advise you if electrical work is needed.
Once you have a plan, let us know if an adjustment to your electrical service is needed by completing a Service Request form at least three to four weeks before you begin your work.
With our online Service Request form, you can request a new Hydro service, additional meters, a temporary disconnection (service isolation), disconnection (service removal), an underground cable relocation or assistance with other electrical services.
