Service Entrance & Outdoor
Electrical Work

Exterior electrical work covers everything from the point where utility power enters your property to outdoor outlets, lighting, and weatherproof electrical installations.

Weatherhead & Mast Replacement

The weatherhead (service mast) carries utility wires to your meter. Damaged, corroded, or improperly installed weatherheads are a safety and utility compliance issue. We replace them to meet utility and code standards.

Meter Base & Service Entrance

Damaged or outdated meter bases, service entrance cables, and main service disconnects are handled by our licensed team — coordinated with SMUD or PG&E for proper utility reconnection.

Outdoor Outlets & Lighting

Weatherproof outdoor outlets, landscape lighting circuits, pool and spa electrical, and exterior junction box work — installed safely and to California code with proper weatherproofing.

Common Questions

Exterior & Service Entrance
FAQ

What is a service entrance and why does it matter?

The service entrance is the point where utility power enters your home — including the weatherhead (mast), service entrance cable, meter base, and main disconnect. If any component is damaged, corroded, or non-compliant, your utility company can refuse to restore power until repairs are made by a licensed electrician.

My utility company said my service entrance needs repair. What do I do?

Call a licensed C-10 electrical contractor (like us) to assess and repair the flagged components. Once the work is complete and inspected, we coordinate with SMUD or PG&E to have your meter reinstalled and power restored.

Do outdoor outlets need weatherproof covers?

Yes. California electrical code requires in-use weatherproof covers (covers that protect the outlet even when a cord is plugged in) for all outdoor outlets. We install proper in-use covers on every exterior outlet we install or replace.

Can you add an outdoor outlet for my backyard or driveway?

Yes. Adding outdoor outlets is one of our most common exterior electrical projects. We run the circuit from your panel, install a weatherproof outlet box, and get the permit and inspection handled.

How long does a service entrance repair take?

Most weatherhead and meter base repairs are completed in one day. Utility reconnection timing depends on SMUD or PG&E scheduling. We submit the utility request immediately after inspection approval to minimize your downtime.
