Help stay protected from faulty home wiring

Electrical repair coverage from HomeServe for $3.95/month. 

Out of sight, out of mind. For most of us, this describes the electrical lines that power our home. With the Electrical Line Protection Plan, if one or more of your in-home electrical lines fails, you won’t be left in the dark. You can call the 24-hour repair hotline seven days a week, 365 days a year, to schedule a repair. A local, licensed professional will be sent to your home to start the covered repair. The covered repair bill will be paid directly to the electrician, up to $1,500 per visit.

OPPD has partnered with HomeServe*, an independent company that is offering Electrical Line Protection Plan to our customers to help protect from the aggravation and expense of covered electrical line repairs.

OPPD & Customer Responsibility. OPPD Owned and Maintained: A. Service Drop: This wire generally runs from the utility pole to the top of the house. It's OPPD's job to main and repair it when necessary. Note: we do not trim trees along a service drop, but will shut off power at your request so that you can have it done safely. B. Electric Meter: It is our responsibility to keep the meter in good working condition. However, we are not responsible for the box, or meter pan that holds the meter. Customer Owned and Maintained: C. Point of Attachment/Weatherhead: This is where the service drop connects to the service entrance cable and includes the weatherhead and an eyebolt. D. Service Entrance Cable: Our service drop connects to the home's service entrance cable at the top of the house. The entrance cable runs down to the meter box and is considered part of the home's wiring. If the entrance cable is damaged, it's the homeowner's responsibility to have it repaired by a licensed electrician and it must be repaired before the utility can safely restore service. E. Meter Base: The metal box (known as a meter pan) that holds the meter and all the connections within and below it are the responsibility of the homeowner. A licensed electrician should also make repairs to the meter pan. F. Main Service Panel: The homeowner is responsible for the service panel box, the circuit breakers or fuses and all of the interior wiring.
