Meet with PEC New Construction Representative
Contact PEC at (580) 332-3031 or toll free within our service area at 1-877-456-3031 to discuss your needs with PEC.  We will ask for your legal description along with information about the size and type of home you will build.  If anything about your job changes after this initial call (such as site location, size of equipment, etc.) please contact your PEC Representative.
 

Cost Evaluation
A PEC Staking Engineer will visit your location to discuss building location, type of service, terrain, and other factors that may influence the cost of construction. This is a free service provided by PEC so we may provide you with an accurate quote of building your service.  Remember, a portion of your total payment may be refunded once permanent residential requirements have been met.  More...   

Pre-Construction Process (Begins after payment and documents received)
During this phase of construction, a Staking Engineer will revisit your site location to create an electronic staking sheet designed specifically for your job.  He will then submit recommendations to other personnel involved in completing your service.  The Pre-Construction process usually takes 3-4 weeks.  After this time, New Construction Representatives will have a better idea of when construction will begin.  As a result, if you have questions regarding the timing or completion of your job, we encourage you to wait until 4 weeks after you have submitted payment before contacting our New Construction Department for this information.

PEC Construction Process
Depending on the nature of your job and weather, this process may take as little as a few days to several weeks.  The Staking Engineer or New Construction Representative will give you an idea of this during your job evaluation. 

Permanent Service & QRA
Once PEC has completed construction and once your electrician has completed your side of the installation, please contact PEC for a permanent tie-in of service.  At this time, you may also wish to confirm your Qualified Residential Applicant (QRA) Status to receive a portion of your construction charges back.  If you have met the below QRA requirements, a PEC representative will be dispatched to inspect service and a refund will be issued within 2 weeks:
  -Water (or tap receipt)
  -Septic (or perk test)
  -Footing or slab poured or, if mobile home, tongue, wheels and axles removed.
  -Account holder must be landowner and occupancy of the dwelling must be year round.
