Installing Your Electric Service

Scheduling Process

The completion of your electric service is important to Dominion. Construction schedules vary depending on the size and scope of work. External factors such as inclement weather, emergencies or outages also affect construction scheduling. You will be notified if your project is rescheduled due to these factors, or if it's determined the site is not ready (see Site Ready Checklist).

If Dominion or our contractor needs to perform digging, we will contact Miss Utility to mark the existing public underground utility lines (e.g., electric, gas, cable TV, telephone, water). Miss Utility requires two (2) full working days notice. Digging may then begin if all underground facilities have been properly marked.

Once requirements have been satisfied and your site is ready, Dominion will provide an approximate timeline that the electric service installation may begin.
