How
long does it take to get power to my
home?
If line construction is needed, it should
take 7-10 working days after all fees
have been paid.
Can you bill the deposit?
No, a deposit must
be paid upfront before the power is turned
on.
How do I get electric service
to my mobile home?
You will need to bring to the Magnolia
Electric Member Services Department:
- A current mobile home registration
certificate from your tax assessor.
- A 911 address.
- If you own the property, bring a
copy of the deed. We will reduce the
security deposit.
You will also need to provide:
- A meter pole must be provided at
the site of Magnolia Electric’s
specifications.
(Click here to
see the mobile home meter loop specifications
along with the diagram.) In addition, if a line must be built
across someone else’s
property to serve you, you will be asked
to obtain easements (written permission
to cross the property and remove trees
and shrubbery.)
What will it cost to get my mobile home
electric power set up?
- A $20 membership fee
- A $15 connect charge plus
- A $75 security deposit if you own
the land, $175 if you don’t.
- 75 cents per foot construction deposit
for any line built over 200 feet. Refundable
if you remain at the location more
than five years with continuous service
and usage about 700 kilowatt hours
power month. Refundable sooner if a
permanent residential structure is
built to replace the mobile home. Owner-occupied
sectional or doublewide homes are treated
as permanent dwellings. Mobile homes
used as camps or recreational facilities
are handled differently. Ask one of
our Member Service representatives
for details.
How long will it take to get
power to my mobile home?
- After all fees have been paid, all
forms signed and any other requirements
have been met, it should take 7 to
10 working days. Weather conditions
may delay this more.
- If no line has to be constructed
and only a meter has to be set, service
can normally be provided the next
working day.
Are
you going to cut any trees?
If a primary line is installed, a minimum
of 30 feet will be cleared.
Are you going to clean up my
yard after you are through building
the line?
Members are
responsible for cleaning up the right-of-way.
Why
do we have a construction charge for
different things?
Construction
charges are accessed so that existing members do not have to subsidize new
construction for new members.
