Nonetheless, it should have been done.

In either case Larry, I would think the Utility Company has to authorize the Electrician to break the seal and the Utility Co. has to come put a new one once the work is complete. No?

Up here, it is elligal for an electrician to pull the meter. They usually just have the meter man do it.
It is the only way to do the siding correctly.

True. Maybe I misunderstood.

The only thing that the POCO is responsible for, around here, is to remove and replace the meter into the socket when the break and re-attach the seal.

Our electricians install the meter base (can) and the rest of the service entrance.


We agree that it should have been done.

The power company does not want the service wires covered by the siding.

Looks like another S..rs contractor job to me. Cant believe some of those guys still getting away with this.
