PROCEDURES FOR MODULAR HOUSING DELIVERY
AND ELECTRIC HOOK-UP FROM KEYS ENERGY SERVICES
With the influx of modular housing projects throughout the Florida Keys,
Keys Energy Services (KEYS) offers these tips to residents to ensure the
timely delivery and installation of electric service.
- When customers are preparing site plans for their new home they should
call KEYS at (305) 295-1000 to initiate contact and establish a timetable
for the project.
- In some instances KEYS may not be able to accommodate a customer’s
request.
- With regard to temporarily shutting off electric service and removing
overhead electric lines, customers have two options:
- Option 1) At KEYS discretion, homeowners may obtain the written
consent of their neighbors to plan a power outage which may last
approximately five to six hours. The cost to remove and re-install
the power lines will be approximately $700.00, and the homeowner
accepts all liability of any damage sustained by their neighbors
during the planned power outage.
- Option 2) If overhead electric lines can not be removed, KEYS
may be able to install temporary electric poles and lines to re-route
the power and allow for the installation of the modular home. This
could cost approximately $7,000.00.
- Customers must pay all associated fees in advance. Payment must be
received approximately 6 to 8 weeks in advance if temporary poles and
lines need to be installed and approximately 2 weeks in advance if customer
consent is obtained for a planned power outage.
- No work will be scheduled until payment is received.
- Once payment is received by KEYS’ Customer Service department,
the Transmission & Distribution department will schedule the project.
- Preferred home delivery dates may not be achievable due to KEYS work
load and schedule. Customers are urged to plan in advance to meet all
applicable deadlines.
