    Electric main hookup
    I have overhead electric service 150 ft to a pole with a meter then another 150 ft underground to the house. I have now built a garage near the meter pole. I want to transfer the meter to the transformer pole and bury the overhead , comeing up at the garage and then split it to the garage and the house. Is there some kind of a connector box that I can use and come in with the 200 amp main line and split it out 100 amp to garage and the 200 amp line to the house?

    Sure, it's called a feed-through panel.

    Do you own this pole with the transformer? If not it is highly unlikely you can put the meter on it.

    You can get a feed-through panel with a built in meter section. They are great. I use them quite often.

    goosecreek, You need an Electrician, or Electrical Contractor to do this kind of work.
