Do you need an upgrade?
When electric system designers set up service to your home or business, they do so with your end-usage in mind. If you need to add a significant amount of electric load down the road, you may need to upgrade your electric service.
New electric loads may result in additional fees or changes to a member’s rate class.
Upgrade reasons may include:
- A home or business remodel
- Installing a charger for an electric vehicle
- Small to medium-scale agricultural operations
Adding significant electric load onto your service without the properly rated equipment could potentially overload your transformer, which may damage the electrical system, cause power outages, and cost you extra money in unauthorized connection fees, fines, equipment fees and lost revenue.
Keep in mind that remodeling your home, installing an EV charger, and other similar projects may not always require an upgrade. Therefore, please consult a licensed electrician to determine if your existing meter base will be suitable. If it is determined that an upgrade is needed, please call our engineering department for the next appropriate steps.
