If you planning a home renovation project, don't forget to let CCEC know if your plans include making electrical changes to your home. Doing so could help you save time and money.

What projects should you tell CCEC about?

You don't need to call us before doing small home upgrades like replacing your appliances. But, when you are planning a large-scale project that includes major electrical updates, please give us a call before you get started.

Larger projects include:

• Adding an extension to your home
• Installing a solar PV system
• Adding a pool or spa
• Moving or changing your meter box
• Adding an EV charging station

Why is it important to talk to CCEC before starting these projects?

When you make major electrical changes around your home, there may be updates we need to make on our 
end as well. By contacting us before you get started, you can save yourself from potential headaches, delays and unexpected fees at the end of your project.

In some cases, we may need to temporarily disconnect the power to your home so the work can be done safely. Only CCEC employees should disconnect your power. If someone other than a CCEC employee disconnects the power, it will show up as an outage on our end, increasing costs for you and your cooperative.

The projects previously mentioned often involve moving underground cables or other changes to your service. This can be expensive and lead to you receiving an unexpected bill at the end of your project. When you talk to us before starting your project, we can give you important information about how your project might result in changes to your service from your cooperative.

To make sure you’re in the clear before starting your project, please call us at 252.247.3107 and speak to
one of our customer services representatives or email us at customerservice@ccemc.com so we can advise you on the best way to move forward.
