New Construction/Service Change

Install service for a new commercial or residential property, plat development, lighting project, change your service from overhead to underground, or if you need your service moved.

New Residential Construction

The following information pertains to:

  • Homeowners who would like their power changed from overhead to underground.
  • Homeowners who need a meter location moved.
  • Homeowners who need underground service rerouted.
  • Builders or homeowners building a new home, garage, or other building.
  • Builders or homeowners who need an additional meter and service.

Requirements

  • The customer is responsible for providing a PVC Slip Meter Riser for underground service risers to electric meters.
  • Connexus Energy requires a site ready photo in order to complete the design and invoice you for your service.
  • To have Connexus get to your site more quickly, consider building a kick wall at your structure’s permanent meter base location.

New Home Construction/Existing Service Change

Complete the Residential Application for Electrical Service below to begin the process for new construction or if you need your service moved for a new pool, moving your meter for an addition, or similar instances. If your service is not for a new service in a platted development with city water and sewer, a designer will start reviewing the application within 10-15 business days.
