Electrical Service Cost Estimator

Please answer a few short questions for an estimate of the electrical service costs for building a new home or starting a new electric service.

Before getting started, please note: several factors can influence your final project cost. This tool can be used to help you understand and prepare for the associated costs that you can expect from National Grid. These estimates are subject to change, and we recommend working with our team for a thorough evaluation of your project and a precise cost assessment.

Beyond the cost estimates included in this tool, additional costs may include:

  • Trenching: You may need to excavate trenches to accommodate underground cables.
  • Conduit Installation: If necessary, you will be responsible for installing conduits to protect electrical wiring.
  • Easement: an easement may be required for electrical infrastructure installation.

For more details, or for projects that require Three Phase service, please email our team directly at box.electricconnectionsunyinquiry@nationalgrid.com to discuss your specific needs, and we’ll create a detailed cost estimate tailored to your project.
