New Residential Construction

◄ Back to New Construction Application
New Residential Construction Process

To establish electrical service for a new residential construction, please refer to the process detailed below:

Application

A United Power project manager/coordinator will review your application request once it has been received. After review, the coordinator will create a work order/design and send a design and cost letter to the applicant. Please allow up to 10 business days for the design and cost letter to be sent out. (Note: A coordinator may request a site visit prior to this letter being sent.)

Payment for services will need to be made up front. 

Once payment has been received, a Right of Way (ROW) review can begin, if necessary. Once complete, the work order is assigned and scheduled by Operations. Scheduling can usually be made 3-5 weeks out. 

Upon completion of construction, an electrician-installed meter housing will need to be inspected by the city and/or county. United Power installed pedestals will also need to be inspected. 

After inspection, a meter release is sent to United Power and forwarded to Operations. It may take between 2-10 business days for meters to be set.

Ballpark Estimates

These are just cost estimations. Once job has been reviewed and a design is created, an accurate cost will be generated. 

Overhead Secondary — $2,600 + $46 per foot

Underground Secondary — $3,300 + $48 per foot

Overhead Primary — $4,500 + $25 per foot

Underground Primary — $5,000 + $52 per foot

Price dependent on many factors, including the size of the project, distance from existing service and more.
