Manufactured Home Reconnect
A manufactured home reconnect permit is required when the electrical service is disconnected, transferred from another address, there is a change of providers, and when the customer's name on the account changes.
After the manufactured home reconnect inspection is approved by the electrical and structural inspector, the permit is released to Centerpoint Energy.
In order for the reconnect application to be processed, the manufactured home must be in a licensed manufactured home park. The customer must provide the manufactured home's year, size, serial number and hud number.
