To start new service we need to access your meter(s). If we cannot access your meter, for example if you are not home and your meter is located inside, please make sure you have arranged for someone to meet the service technician so that he/she, may read your meter. If you are not sure whether your meter is accessible, please call our Customer Service Department at 519-822-3010.

For electric services that are currently "OFF", the service technician will re-enable your meter only if you or your representative is present for access. It will be your responsibility to turn on the main power switch after we have re-enabled the meter.
