Residential Service Wire Clearances
Overhead electrical service wires must be installed at safe heights to protect both your home and its occupants. Proper clearances help prevent accidental contact, reduce the risk of electrical hazards, and ensure the wiring remains free from damage.
If you notice that the service wires around your home are sagging or hanging lower than the recommended clearances, do not attempt to adjust them yourself. Contact a licensed electrician or your local electrical utility provider to inspect the wiring and make any necessary corrections. Maintaining proper service wire clearances is an important part of keeping your home’s electrical system safe and reliable.
