The problem is, the connection outside has not been changed. The power line still runs to the overhang of my house not to the new pipe that holds the upgraded wires. The connections are also only wrapped in electrical tape. I have been fighting with the power company about getting the new wire ran, but they tell me it is the electricians job to do. Question: Who is to change the main wire to my house and make the new connections as well as moving the support cable off my house and onto the pipe? Second: What do I need to tell them in order to get this done?
