The electric utility company is entirely responsible for the installation, maintenance, repair, and replacement of the overhead service drop lines running from the utility pole to your home's attachment point. Because these high-voltage wires are part of the utility's distribution grid supplying power to the meter, the power company handles storm repairs, line tension adjustments, and safety inspections for that span. Conversely, the homeowner is strictly responsible for all customer-owned components attached to the building, including the weatherhead, conduit mast, meter base enclosure, and main electrical breaker panel, requiring private licensed contractors for those repairs.
