Dave, I would have left it in the customers hands too.
The last sceduled disconect I had with Com Ed they were to be there at 8:00. We were early and ready for them. They came a bit before 12:00. They question your need for disconect and say "well a lot of EC will just pull the wires hot thru the meter and underground conduit but if your scared we can disconect for you". No garentees on reconect time but should be some time tonight. We do a little work and spend a day at the job. Beforehand the customer wants to know why so much. We tell them cause we spend most of a day messing around with Com Ed. The customer is not happy because we left them in the dark. I tell the they are sceduled for hook up and here is there number. I don't get enough to spend my night waiting for the utility.
I'm not saying their linemen are bad more their service policies.
Tom
