Electrical service

Electrical service

Electrical service, in building wiring, refers to the wiring that connects the electric utility's cables in the street to the building. Specifically, electrical service is the wiring from the street, through the meter and up to the panelboard, but no farther.

Electrical service can be provided directly from the utility company's transformer or though service laterals.

Besides referring to the physical wiring, the term electrical service also refers in an abstract sense to the provision of electricity to a building.
