Electrical Main Panel

When I upgraded my panel, the contractor pulled the permit, and they cut power at the pole.
You may have something there.

That applies to me.

Yeah, but then they will want to look at everything else. Which could involve more permits...yada yada yada. I kind of just want to keep them out of it. I want to keep it safe, thats why I posted the MO. Do they cut power to the transformer? Disconnect the lines coming in off the pole to weatherhead? Or do they just pull the meter?
