 3-phase service, and usually they had two seperate electriclal hook-

 I've been noticing this, especially after the discussion on this list about
 3-ph and I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this? >>

Probably 3 phase service for large central air conditioning units and/or 
electric heat. Also could be for a spa or hot tub pump/heater. All BIG energy 
hogs, but they are simpler to build and a little more efficient on 3 phase.
