Thomas Edison Electric clients have paid an average of approximately $10,200 to $15,400 for a full-service upgrade involving meter, service entrance, and mast work, based on six months of recent data.

The actual cost depends on which component is affected, the condition of the equipment, the accessibility of the work, and whether additional electrical repairs are required.

The electrical service entrance is the portion of the electrical system that brings utility electricity into the home. Depending on the property, this can involve the meter, service conductors, weatherhead or mast, and related equipment.

Because these components are part of the home's main electrical service, problems with them should be evaluated by a qualified electrician.

An electrical mast is part of an overhead electrical service arrangement. It provides a protected route for service conductors as they connect the home to the utility's electrical system.

Damage to a mast or other service equipment can occur because of weather, physical impact, age, deterioration, or other circumstances.

Warning signs can include visible damage, loose or deteriorated components, water intrusion, unusual electrical behavior, or damage following severe weather.

If the electrical service equipment has been physically damaged, it should be evaluated rather than repaired with a temporary DIY solution.

A problem with the service entrance can also contribute to broader electrical issues inside the home.

The condition and location of the equipment are major factors. The type of service and the specific component that needs attention also matter. Some repairs may involve one component, while others may require more extensive electrical work.

Accessibility can affect labor as well. Equipment located in difficult-to-reach areas may require additional time or specialized access. Utility coordination or other project requirements may also affect the overall process.

An electrician can inspect the mast and related service equipment and determine what work is appropriate.

The correct repair depends on the condition of the existing equipment and the requirements of the electrical service.

Because service entrance equipment is directly connected to the utility supply, homeowners should not attempt to repair or modify it themselves.

The average from Thomas Edison Electric's recent service data can help you plan for the potential cost of this type of work.

Your actual price will depend on the condition and configuration of your home's electrical service. Thomas Edison Electric can inspect the equipment and explain the recommended repair.
