203. Availability of Service<br />
Prior to ordering equipment or beginning any electrical wiring,<br />
it is important that the customer contact NSTAR to determine<br />
the availability of the type of service desired and if NSTAR has<br />
additional requirements for such service. Location of the service<br />
conductors, entrance and meter equipment, must be granted<br />
before the building wiring is started.<br />
NSTAR does not accept responsibility for information given<br />
orally about the type of service available at specific locations.<br />
This information must be confirmed in writing by an authorized<br />
representative of NSTAR.<br />
204. Additional Loads<br />
NSTAR facilities are normally designed to meet customers’<br />
initial requirements at the time the service is installed.When<br />
additional load is contemplated, NSTAR must be notified in<br />
writing as early as possible so that proper provisions can be<br />
made to furnish the additional service.The customer must not<br />
add additional load until notified by NSTAR in writing of the<br />
conditions under which it can supply the increased load.The<br />
customer will be held responsible for all damages caused by load<br />
being added without notice to NSTAR.<br />
205. Relocation or Alteration of Service<br />
When relocation or alterations are to be made to an existing<br />
service, NSTAR must be notified sufficiently in advance to<br />
provide for the required change in service facilities and to<br />
determine the conditions under which such changes will be<br />
made. Any installation must conform to all requirements of<br />
NSTAR, Massachusetts Electric Codes, and to the authority<br />
having jurisdiction. Requests are processed in the order they<br />
are received. In most cases, service relocations are made at the<br />
customer’s expense.<br />

206. Customer Cost<br />
Information relative to the customer’s portion of any service<br />
construction costs will be provided by the NSTAR New<br />
Customer Connect Tech Center. Payments are required prior<br />
to the commencement of any construction by NSTAR.<br />
Delaying of payment may adversely impact the construction<br />
completion date originally established.<br />
207. Inspection Certificates<br />
NSTAR will not energize new, upgraded, relocated or repaired<br />
wiring until approval has been issued by the authority having<br />
jurisdiction. It is the responsibility of the customer or his<br />
representative to follow whatever procedure is required by the<br />
authority having jurisdiction so that NSTAR will receive the<br />
approval prior to the time the wiring must be energized.<br />
208. Temporary Service and Installation Charges<br />
Temporary installations are made at the expense of the<br />
customer. Flat charge quotes for standard service drop<br />
installations may be obtained from the NSTAR New Customer<br />
Connect Tech Center. For more complex temporary service<br />
installations, design estimates are required and can be obtained<br />
from the NSTAR New Customer Connect Tech Center. All<br />
temporary services must be inspected by the authority having<br />
jurisdiction. In all instances, early contact with NSTAR will<br />
help to avoid unnecessary delays in receiving service.<br />
