Schedule a Service Upgrade or Modification
Upgrading your electrical service? Schedule in advance to stay safe and keep your project on track. Whether you’re upgrading the amperage of your service, installing central metering or changing your meter location — you can make your request online.
What to Expect After You Submit a Request
A Renfrew Hydro representative will contact you within 5 to 10 business days after your form is submitted to discuss your request and schedule a site visit to ensure the scope of the work is clearly understood by all parties. Once the site visit is complete, our technician will contact you to discuss the next steps.
Important Information: Before you make any changes to your electrical service, you must call the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) at 1-877-372-7233 to apply for a permit. After the work is complete, an electrical inspector will ensure that your work meets all the requirements of the Ontario Electrical Safety Code.
