Service Change and Upgrades

Customers may require changes in their electrical service - both inside and outside - of their homes. Some upgrades and changes only require you to contact an electrician and get a permit. But some changes you may want or need will require assistance from TCED. Your electrician will probably contact the department for you. If not, we will need your name & address, and the nature of the work.

​When applying for and making changes to your service connection with TCED, you will be asked for various details regarding your project, such as:
  • Do you have electric gas/heat, or water heater, stove, dryer - what size air conditioning do you have?
  • For some new construction, what wll be your total lighting load?
  • You may be upgrading your electric service because you're adding more load to your current service. If this is necessary, you will be assessed a $1.00/amp tap-in fee.
  • You may be building an addition to your home? An application for service is required if you want to move the location of your electric service connection.
  • Will you be installing a swimming pool?
  • Will you be having any other large equipment?
Providing us with accurate and detailed information when you make changes to your electric service assures you that TCED provides you with the proper service for your project.
