Value add, garage convert to studio apartment

[Zach Shrader]

I bought a house in my local area with a decent sized separated garage. I want to turn this garage into a living space and rent it out. I live in Indiana. I’ve contacted a plumber and got a price on installing a bathroom and kitchenette and I’ve contacted the electric company to get a quote on installing a new meter base so I can separate the power from the house so the future tenant can pay his/her electric. I would water. Anyways I didn’t want to hire the plumber until I had a number from the electric company, but I’ve called the electric company 3 times over the last 3 weeks and they keep telling me someone will contact me so we can setup something for them to come out and no one has contacted me still. Am I doing this all in the wrong steps? Is there a reason they won’t call me, like perhaps I need to have an inspection beforehand or something? The electric company won’t say anything when I call them other than “oh that’s odd we’ll renew the request and someone should contact you in 24-48 hours.” Anyways if you need more details ask away and ill answer the best I can. That is if anyone will please give me advice. Thanks!
