Although I am a licensed electrician, I have not done a residential electrical service upgrade in many years. I am located im MA. Wondering if someone out there can help me out by explaining what the procedural steps are. For example after I take out a permit and contact the utility company, can I disconnect the overhead myself? Once I've finished the upgrade can I reconnect the overhead myself? If so, must the service be inspected prior to reconnecting? If I do the service on a Saturday, for example, will the utility company come out on a weekend or is it standard that I do a temp reconnect and jump the meter until the utility company gets out to redo the connection and put the new meter in place. Thanks for your help.
