I don't know if it would be worth the $20,000 to $25,000 in installation
charges to run your coil with three phase power. Believe me, being a public
utility, they will charge you the full cost of installation, including
equipment and labor.

	Upon reading the Tariffs and Rules for Southern California Edison
(lively
	stuff, that), I ran across an interesting note in "rule 2"
	(http://www.sce-dot-com/005_regul_info/tm2/pdf/Rule2.pdf).  Section 5
(b) says: 

	Single-Family Domestic Service. In areas where SCE does not maintain
	three-phase secondary mains, only single-phase service will be
supplied
	unless the applicant's load includes at least one motor rated in
excess of
	10 hp.
