New Electrical Service Installation in Van Alstyne & McKinney, TX

Family-owned Koryente LLC installs new electrical service for new homes, additions, and detached buildings that don't have power yet. The work covers the service entrance, meter and main equipment, grounding, and the permit and inspection steps required before the meter is set. It's for homeowners and builders adding a structure with no existing service, not for upgrading an already-connected home's capacity.

Our service includes

What a new service installation covers

New Home and New-Construction Wiring

Complete service and rough-in wiring for a new home, planned from the load calculation through trim-out.

Detached Building and Outbuilding Service

A dedicated service or feeder for a new garage, shop, barn, or guest structure, sized for its actual loads.

Meter, Main Equipment, and Service Entrance

Meter base, main disconnect, and panel sized to the load, with conductors routed from the point of attachment.

Grounding and Bonding

A grounding electrode system and bonding installed to code at every service, including a detached structure.

Utility and Inspection Coordination

Coordination with the utility serving the address for the construction request, and with the local permitting authority for permits and inspections.

Planning guidance

A new service is sized once, so size it for tomorrow's loads

A new electrical service is one of the few times a property gets a clean slate: the size, route, and equipment get planned around the loads it will actually carry, not retrofitted later. That means accounting for square footage, HVAC type, and anything planned down the road, like EV charging or a second structure with its own service.

Overhead or underground routing, the utility's point of attachment, and whether a new transformer is needed all shape the timeline. Koryente runs the utility request, permit, inspection, and installation as one coordinated project instead of three separate parties, since energization depends on the permit and inspection being complete.

What to expect

How a new service installation moves from plan to power

  1. 1

    Site and load review

    Koryente reviews the plans or structure, discusses current and future loads, and calculates the needed service size.

  2. 2

    Utility coordination

    Koryente submits the construction request to the utility serving the address and confirms the point of attachment or transformer.

  3. 3

    Permit and rough-in

    A permit is pulled with the authority having jurisdiction, and the entrance, meter, main equipment, and grounding go in.

  4. 4

    Rough inspection

    The installation is inspected before walls or trenches close, while corrections are still simple to make.

  5. 5

    Trim-out, final inspection, and energization

    Devices are completed, the work passes final inspection, and the utility sets the meter to energize the service.

Serving North Texas

New service work spans new subdivisions and rural acreage alike

Anna's rapid residential growth keeps adding new subdivisions and infill lots, and each new address needs a first service sized correctly before occupancy. The utility serving the address sets the point of attachment, and the permitting authority with jurisdiction has to inspect before the meter is energized.

Farther from the subdivisions, Blue Ridge and similar rural, exurban parts of the service area combine established homes on acreage with new detached shops, barns, and guest structures needing their own service or a feeder from the main house. Those projects often need a longer conductor run and more site work than a same-lot service does.

Common questions

New Electrical Service questions, answered

How much does a new electrical service installation cost?

Cost depends on the service size requested, whether the run is overhead or underground, distance from the point of attachment, site conditions like trenching, and whether it's a new-home service or a longer feeder to a detached structure. Koryente reviews the site and load before quoting.

Do I need a permit for a new electrical service?

Yes, in every incorporated city Koryente serves — a new electrical service needs a permit from the authority with jurisdiction over the property, plus rough and final inspections before the utility will energize the meter. Outside city limits, permit requirements can differ by county; Koryente confirms what applies to your address and handles the permit as part of the project.

How long does it take to get new electrical service installed?

Timing has two parts: the utility's schedule for confirming the point of attachment or setting a transformer, and the electrician's schedule for installation and inspection. A same-lot service moves faster than a project needing new utility infrastructure or a long feeder run.

What size electrical service does a new home need?

The right size comes from a load calculation, not a default number. Square footage, HVAC type, water heating, and planned future loads like EV charging all factor in, so the home has real capacity instead of one that's undersized on day one.

Can a detached garage or shop get its own electrical service without rewiring the house?

Often yes, depending on the main service's remaining capacity. A detached structure can typically run on a feeder from the existing panel or, where load or distance justifies it, its own separate service with its own meter and grounding electrode system, decided after reviewing the main panel's available capacity.

What customers say about this work

“Felipe and his crew (Hector and Wilson) installed electrical services for our Tiny Home community from the ground up. Felipe (owner) came out and measured, dug, pulled wire and worked very hard himself. It was a total turn key job. We literally stepped back and they handled everything. We were given an estimate (which was market price), a payment schedule and a firm handshake. Koryente was on time, professional, friendly, and always had clean uniforms. They trenched, laid conduit, set pedestals, pulled wire and went above and beyond to keep us in the loop. Even after their trencher broke three times they figured out how to get the job done. They made sure we were satisfied at every key juncture of the project. Even running power to my shop as a bonus. I can not speak more highly of a company and how professional they were. By the way they stuck to the original estimate which helped us remain closer to our budget. I will use and refer Koryente in the future to anyone needing small to really big jobs. I true testament to how great of a job they did is knowing, I would invite them into my home and break bread with them.”

“I highly recommend Felipe Torres and Koryente Electrical. Following a house fire, I needed an electrical service pole set up asap to keep my pool equipment running. Felipe immediately got on the job, despite being out of town for a family issue. From afar, he began the difficult process of acquiring a permit, then upon his return, he and his crew got out to the house to complete the job quickly. Felipe communicated with me every step of the way, and I felt respected and treated fairly through the whole job. I will certainly use Koryente Electrical for my future electrical needs, and can confirm the many positive reviews I read of them when researching for this job.”

“Koryente Electrical assisted me in rebuilding an electrical panel after removal of an old mobile home. The old electrical wires were simply cut and left sticking out of the ground. KEC came in and installed a new electrical panel, including a new 50amp outlet for an RV. The work was completely timely and looked great. Felipe went above and beyond and offered me sound electrical planning advice and explored several options with me before getting started with the work. Overall awesome job and I will definitely work with KEC again in the future.”
