This is just semantics. Companies are often called services because they operate and maintain the network of service to your house, whether it's electric fields moving around, gas particles, laundry pick up and delivery, trash and recycling, milk, newspaper delivery, Internet service, cable subscription, whatever else. Perfectly reasonable to call home electricity a service operated by your utility.
