Unit 123 Wishes to Install
Separate Electrical Service to
Garage
For questions please contact your
neighbor: Your Name Here(444)
444-4444, youremail@here.com
Why is this needed?
• Electrical service in the garages is on Name of
Your Home Owners Association Here’s Meter,
not unit 123’s meter
• Service power needs to be increased
• Your Name Here has acquired a PHEV (plug in
hybrid electric vehicle and wishes to charge
the car’s battery)
Who will pay for it?
• All costs will be paid by Your Name Here
Who will perform the work?
• Insert name of qualified electrician here
Will the City approve and inspect?
• The Resident has contacted the Name of Your
Utility Here as part of the planning process and
the work has been approved. City of Your City
inspectors will inspect work when completed.
What is being installed?
• 120v, 240v (or both) service from Unit 123’s
electric meter on North side of building’s West
entrance to the North (back side) of garage #3
Example 120v Outlet
These outlets will be mounted inside
the garage, not visible on the outside.
Example 240v outlet and plug
Where is it being installed?
This condo’s garages
are separate from the
residences. The electrical
service in the separate
garages is metered to and
paid by the Home Owners
Association not the
resident.
Charging an electric
vehicle EV would create
more than incidental
electric usage.
Therefore the resident
with the EV needs to install
a separate electric line
from the Resident’s meter
on the Condo Building to
the Resident’s garage.

How will the wire be run from the
meter to the garage?
• Electrician will subcontract with a company that
provides underground horizontal directional
boring services. A machine like this may be used.

What about existing underground
items?
• Utilities will be located and marked prior to
any digging or horizontal directional boring.
Electrician will
contact Iowa One
Call to have all
underground
items located
between the
meters and the
garage.
Our underground items will
be marked so they can be
avoided during the boring
process.
What about insurance?
• Electrician and its subcontractors carry
insurance.
What about damage to the grass?
• Damage to our lawn will be minimized by the use
of horizontal directional boring instead of
trenching.
• Your Name Here will be responsible for seeding
and watering to restore the lawn to its original
condition.
What visible exterior elements are there?
The small, grey
conduit will be the
only visible
exterior element
on the garage.
This will be at the
back of garage
number 3.
Thank you for taking time to consider my request to install separate electrical service in
my garage. I am deeply committed to the environment, which is why I bought a vehicle
that can run on electricity. I would ask that you please approve my request to allow me
to install this service.
•It will not cost you anything
•It will enhance the value of the garage
•What will be visible outside is minor and already exists at other garages
•The process will be performed safely and professionally
