Here in California there is a very long list of essential services
including grocery, internet service, home construction, and on and on.
We are also allowed to be out for exercise of almost any sort (hiking,
biking, you name it). The one watch word for anything you do outside the
home is the social distancing.
We are doing service calls unless it involves going into someone's
house. We will provide service to an outside NID, but the end cable will
have to go through a window or something temporarily.
Home Depot, Ace, Lowes, etc. are all staying open (also essential). If I
need something in a hurry, I order online through Home Depot, and I go
to their online pickup. I don't have to touch anyone, and I sanitize my
hands when I get stuff. We also squirt/wipe disinfectant on packages.

Evidently here in Illinois it is being called a "stay at home" order.
I'm not worried about gas stations closing, and grocery stores and drug stores
will stay open. Although I drove by a grocery store this afternoon and the
parking lot was entirely full, so people are probably panic buying again.
I'm still a little unclear on whether we should still book new installs unless
there's some demonstrable emergency. I'm not looking for a way to challenge
the order, just to figure out what we are supposed to be doing. I sense
there's uncertainty about things like home remodeling companies, it seemed like
carpenters, electricians, etc. were scurrying today to finish up some projects
near me as if they think they will be shut down.
It also occurred to me that while gas stations and grocery stores will stay
open, I'm not sure about Ace Hardware, Home Depot, etc. Will I got to get
supplies and find all the stores closed? I guess the alternative is Amazon,
McMaster, Zoro, etc. and have it delivered. I'd just like to know before I
need a tube of RTV or some bolts that day and find out everything is closed.
What if someone needs a plumber or electrician to fix something at their house,
I'd guess those are essential services?

You are essential services. You are a public utility.
Here in NV they specifically stated "utilities as defined in NRS Chapter 704".
I assume other states would have something similar.
