SERVICE RELEASE INSPECTION
To activate existing electrical service, a service release electrical permit must be obtained. The fee for this permit is Forty ($40.00) dollars. This fee is for one inspection to determine if it is safe to turn on the electrical service.

YOU MUST BE THERE TO LET THE INSPECTOR INTO THE BUILDING.
If the inspector approves the electrical service as safe to turn on, he/she will notify the Toledo Edison Company the next morning. The inspector does not certify or approve any other wiring at this time. Questions regarding when your service will be turned on should be referred to Toledo Edison customer service at 1-800-447-3333.

If the inspector does not approve the electrical service as safe to turn on, he/she will leave a correction notice. You will be required to obtain a new permit.

If you are the owner and occupant of a single family dwelling, you are allowed to obtain a new permit if you are doing the work yourself. If you do not understand or know how to do this work, you are required to hire a licensed electrical contractor to make the repairs and bring the building up to the standards of the Toledo Electrical Code. The fee for this permit is based on the size of the service installed. All other buildings (commercial, apartments and multi-family units) will require a new permit by licensed electrical contractors.
