What is an Electrical Service Mast? 

If you have overhead electrical service, you will have a service mast. You can go outside and look up from your electrical meter box. You’ll notice a pole that goes from the meter, through the roof, and up several feet. The cables that run from the transformer to your house connect at this pole, called your service mast. The service mast is the place where the power lines, also called the service drop, connect to your home’s electrical system. As soon as the electricity reaches your mast, it officially belongs to you. 

How Does Electricity Enter Your Home?

Electricity has a long and complicated journey to make once it leaves the power plant. After it gets to the service drop, it will make its way to your mast. First, it goes in through the weatherhead where it passes through the service entrance conductors. After that, it goes through the meter box and then to your electrical panel. Your electrical panel sends the electricity to the rest of your home. 

The Electrical Meter Box

The electrical meter is what measures how much electricity you are using and then sends the information back to your service provider. It’s owned by your utility company and is their responsibility to service or maintain. You can always call if there is something wrong with your meter box. While the meter box isn’t yours, your electrical mast is, so you’ll have to call for electrical mast installation near you when you need it replaced.

Electrical Mast Repairs

Because your mast is out in the elements, it can be susceptible to weather damage. Tree branches can fall on it and damage it, and wind and rain can beat it down over time. You can keep an eye on it to check for damage, but remember to never touch the electrical mast or any of the surrounding equipment.

If your mast is damaged, you might not even have power in your home. You may also notice that the mast looks dented or is no longer connected properly to the wires. If any of these signs are present, you will need to call for service mast installation or repair. If there is too much damage, it will be time for an electrical mast installation near Columbus. We can take care of the replacement and make sure everything is safely connected again.
