Service Entrance Cable Installation & Replacement

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.

Our Comprehensive Service Process

At Kidwell Electric, our approach to service entrance cable installation and replacement is careful and comprehensive. Here’s what you can expect when you trust us with your electrical needs:

  1. Assessment: Our certified technicians will inspect your existing electrical system to determine the best approach.
  2. Consultation: We talk you through our assessment and present you the options with clear and upfront pricing.
  3. Installation/Replacement: Our skilled electricians perform the installation or replacement with precision, ensuring strict adherence to code and safety standards.
  4. Testing and Inspection: We perform rigorous testing to ensure everything is in peak operating condition.
  5. Clean Up & Follow-Up: Post-installation, we ensure your space is neat and orderly, and follow up with you to ensure complete satisfaction.

"You never know what it's going to be like when you hire an old high school friend... I reached out to Isaac for help at our business, and over the last decade he has truly become a master of his craft. He not only told me where and how to help save some money on the project, but also told me where not to cheap out. He was timely, professional, and cleaned throughly after he was done to ensure he found the space better than when he got there. 10/10 would recommend Kidwell Electric for not just your business but also would feel completely safe having him in my home even if I didn't know him previously."

"We called Kidwell Electric to install a light to replace a fluorescent fixture that had gone bad. They were friendly, prompt, and explained what they were doing as they went. Although it was a quick, simple job they did not gouge us for a pricey service call as some others had quoted. We will definitely call Kidwell again should the need arise."

"We hired Kidwell Electric to address a decently long list of items in our new to us (built in the 1940s) home and they did a wonderful job. They fixed the circuitry in our garage and added several additional outlets, added flush fixture lighting to our living room, added wall switches to several bedroom sconce lights, and upgraded a lot of the circuitry and wiring in our basement to ensure all of the outlets were grounded. We are super pleased with the outcome, will most definitely use them for future electrical work, and would recommend to anyone looking for a high quality team of electricians!"

"I needed some outdoor outlets and a ceiling fan installed on my new deck and patio. Issac’s prices were by far the best. On installation day, Issac, Matt and Kaden showed up on time and quickly got our job knocked out. My wife was home alone and couldn’t speak highly enough about their kindness and manners. This crew was really top notch. I can say with absolute certainty Kidwell Electric is the only company I will be using for any other electrical needs I have. Thank you Issac and team."

They were extremely professional and showed me exactly what the problem was and discussed options to update the system. They were so easy to work with and always made sure I understood.

"I purchased a home knowing that it would need a lot of love. I had several contractors and electricians come by. I choose Kidwell because Issac took the time to explain, followed up, and had fair pricing. When they came to do the work - a complete panel replacement, they were GREAT! Went above and beyond replacing horrible old fluorescent lighting and labeling the new panel clearly. I thought there were great- but what do I know? EVERY SINGLE other contractor (plumbers, general contractors and handymen) that came to this house have said what a great job the electrical work is! Thanks Kidwell!"

"We had been without power for 48 hours. Another electric contractor refused to do the repair after two visits and a $90 diagnostic fee. Isaac was at our house within 20 minutes of speaking to him on the phone. He had the issue repaired and the power reconnected within the hour and for a reasonable price. I highly recommend Kidwell Electric--especially if you're in an emergency situation. UPDATE: I made the previous post in September when we lost power. At the end of October, after Isaac had repaired our electrical system, AES decided that the system was not up to code. They threatened to shut off our power if we didn't get an inspection within 5 days of the notice. I contacted Isaac to let him know as the situation could fall back on him. Isaac went above and beyond to contact the city inspector and AES. He spent 7 days fighting this battle on our behalf and was able to to get the issue resolved. He didn't charge us for his time. If you're looking for outstanding service, reasonable costs, and a contractor who operates with integrity--hire Kidwell."

"I recently had the privilege of hiring Kidwell Electric, owned by Ryan, to install lights on my barn as well as replace old wiring harnesses, and I am thrilled to share my experience. Ryan and his team displayed exceptional professionalism, expertise, and a true passion for their work, resulting in an outstanding lighting installation. Right from the initial consultation, Ryan's extensive knowledge and expertise were evident. He meticulously assessed the barn's lighting requirements and provided valuable insights and recommendations to ensure optimal lighting coverage. His attention to detail and commitment to delivering the best possible outcome instilled confidence in his abilities. Throughout the installation process, Ryan and his team worked diligently and efficiently (on what would have been his off day). Ryan actively supervised the project, ensuring that every aspect of the installation met the highest standards. I must also highlight Ryan's exceptional customer service. He was approachable, friendly, and responsive, always taking the time to address any questions or concerns I had. His professionalism and commitment to customer satisfaction were evident throughout the entire process, making the entire experience pleasant and stress-free. The final result was nothing short of spectacular. The barn now boasts a breathtaking lighting display, and my livestock are certainly more safe from a neighboring/pestering bobcat and cayote, thanks to Ryan and Kidwell Electric. In terms of pricing, Ryan provided a fair and transparent estimate from the start. There were no hidden costs or surprises along the way. The investment I made in Kidwell Electric's services was undoubtedly worth every penny, considering the exceptional quality of their work and the level of expertise they brought to the table. I wholeheartedly recommend Kidwell Electric for any electrical needs. They delivered an exceptional lighting installation that exceeded my expectations. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to customer satisfaction make them the go-to choice for all electrical projects. Thank you, Ryan, and Kidwell Electric, for a job well done!"
