Electrical Service – Did you Know

On average fire departments in the United States, responds to more than 46,000 electrical home fires per year, causing an estimated $1.5 billion dollars in damage and resulting in 390 deaths annually. Further, research by the United States Fire Administration has found residential fires increase during cooler months usually peaking in January. The previous decades have seen a steady increase in the frequency and severity of extreme weather and storm events. Winters bringing unusual snow and ice accumulations, severe spring storms with heavy rains and winds, and summer heat waves all contribute to electrical service equipment damage and incidences of homes fires. The damage to electrical service equipment has become so prevalent, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has developed a checklist to assist licensed electricians in assessing whether electrical systems can be repaired or need to be replaced after a powerful storm. This checklist builds from the recommendations in NFPA 70B “Recommended Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenance”. 

Residential electric service may be delivered to homes in one of two ways. In the Kansas City region, the most common and ubiquitous method is through overhead power lines and subsequent weather heads. An alternative method is to bury electrical laterals and wiring underground protecting them from storms and extreme weather events. A critical factor for electrical distribution is the installation costs. Overhead service is much cheaper to install and easier to repair when needed. Underground laterals cost as much as two and half times more than overhead wires to install, but suffer far less disruptions and are safer to the public.

With the current government push and societal trend toward electrification many existing homes will require electrical service upgrades. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) finds the biggest driver of electric demand will come from electrification of transportation, home space heating, and hot water heating. Additionally, integration of Photovoltaics (PV) solar systems often necessitates larger electrical service. The most common service amperages are 60, 100, 150, and 200 amps. Recognizing, electricity demands are only going to increase with electrification and the development of ever more home appliances and devices, most electric utility providers today will only offer 200-amp electrical service.
