electric service

Grid connection service

Electric service is the provision of electrical power to a building or property by a utility company.

The term also refers to the physical infrastructure—wires, meters, panels—that delivers electricity from the grid to a structure: The electrician upgraded the electric service to 200 amps.

Service can be connected, disconnected, or transferred when tenants change.
