Yes and yes. The pedestal is a structure; the house is a separate structure.Under ground to meter on a pedestial with a disconect then 4wire 100 feet underground to house enters house 20 ft to panel. Question do I need a disconect on house also?? I don't think so. Am I wrong?

Thanks Looked it up somethink seamed like i should but did not know for sure
230.70 would be for services, the house is being supplied by a feeder, therefore the applicable section would be 225.31.in the 2008 NEC Read 230.70(A)(1)![]()

The appropriate code article sections are provided in earlier posts.i don't have a code book so i can not say if it is an NEC issue...it may or may not be...
This is now a feeder after it leaves the service disconnect on the pole and is not under the POCO's control.i think it is a safety issue policy with the POCO...many require it so as in the event of a fire or other emergency the power can be shut off without a problem of locating a remote location meter socket...
Per the NEC I would assume.in the past we have always used a disconnect...
Depends on what type of wiring method is used but it doesn't have to be in conduit.plus i do not think the 4wire underground is rated to enter the house unless you pipe it...

rodger, where were you when i needed you...the power company never said it was a feeder or that it was not under their control.... they just said they were not going to turn on the juice without a disconnect in place....my customer fought them for two month's last year and lost big time and lost lots of $...only 4 or 5 units left now out 56...too late now to tell them they were wrong....maybe the homeowners will sue them if they can prove the big ugly boxes that ruin the look of their homes was not required...
And 225.32.Before your customer gets to gung ho about suing the POCO read 225.31.
