Professional Service Entrance Cable Installation & Replacement Services

Understanding Service Entrance Cable Installation & Replacement

At Kidwell Electric, we understand that your home's or business's electrical service entrance cable is a critical component of your electrical system. Whether you're building a new property or upgrading existing wiring, it’s essential to ensure that this vital conduit handles the current safely and efficiently.

What is a Service Entrance Cable?

The service entrance cable is responsible for bringing power from the utility into your building. It connects the main electrical panel to the service drop, the overhead or underground wire extending from the power grid. This cable is designed to carry high voltage and needs to adhere strictly to safety codes and standards.

Key Components

• Conductor Material: Most service entrance cables use copper or aluminum conductors due to their efficiency in conducting electricity.
• Insulation: The cable is insulated to safeguard against electrical shock and minimize damage from environmental factors like rain or shoe resistance.
• Weather Head: Part of overhead installations, acting as a water and weatherproof outlet for the building power lines.

When You Might Need Replacement

While these cables are remarkably tough, situations arise where replacement or installation is necessary, such as:

• Upgrading your electrical panels to accommodate more electrical use.
• Damage from storms or wear and tear over time.
• Code compliance updates for older properties.
