Clear communication about service installation helps complete work more quickly and efficiently. Overlooked details may increase costs and lengthen construction times. All service installation charges over $20 must be paid in advance of installation. If you have questions, contact your WPS representative or call 800-242-9772.

Inspections

An inspection by a State of Wisconsin certified inspector is required for all new one- and two-family homes. Requirements by local municipalities vary for service relocates and service upgrades. Check with your local municipality to determine requirements for either an inspection or a certificate of compliance from an electrician.

Easements

Some projects will require working on a neighbor’s property. Before we can do any work, provide an easement. This legal document specifically gives the legal land description and the description of the area needed to install our natural gas and/or electric facilities. After signed and notarized, the document will be recorded as a permanent record at the local courthouse. When that process is complete, we can move forward with your project.
