You may want to move your electrical service to build a garage, add an addition to your home, or simply eliminate the overhead power line on your property.
The tables below show general costs to modify the electrical service for a standard-sized, residential lot in towns and cities.
All costs are estimates only and subject to an actual quote and site inspection. You will incur additional costs from your electrician and you will also need to contact SaskTel and your cable provider as they have additional costs.
If you need more information, please view our Electrical Service Changes PDF.
