I live in Tuftonboro and two years ago I installed a 200 amp service in my house. The coop came by and gave me a work book on how to install the from the weather head to the meter socket then to the distribution panel. They told me what types of meter sockets their meters would fit into. The code officer came by an put a sticker on the box and then the coop clamped on the conductors from the street.

Everyone was very helpful. I think I saved $2,500 by doing the work myself.
