What to look for

Two photographs, and the difference between them

The electrical service: what the inspector looks at

The meter base and disconnect are the power company's boundary with your home. The two below are the same equipment on the same wall.

A meter base and disconnect mounted plumb on a manufactured home wall, the feeder in rigid metal conduit into the ground and a copper ground wire to a ground rod.
Meter base and disconnect closed and mounted plumb, the feeder in rigid conduit all the way into the ground, and the ground rod bonded with copper. This is what passes and gets the meter set.
The same meter base with the disconnect cover hanging open on exposed wiring and a flexible cable running out of the box into the dirt.
The disconnect cover hanging open on exposed wiring, and the feeder run as a flexible cable straight into the dirt with no conduit. The power company will not set a meter on this.
