Burying existing overhead power lines or installing new electrical service underground involves significant excavation, specialized materials, and skilled labor. The price of such projects depends on several factors, including the distance from the power source to the structure, the terrain, the amperage requirements, and local permitting costs.
Subterranean electrical systems offer several advantages. They are less susceptible to weather-related damage and power outages, enhancing reliability and safety. Aesthetically, they declutter the landscape, increasing curb appeal and property value. While historically more expensive than overhead lines, ongoing maintenance costs are typically lower due to increased protection from the elements. This long-term cost-effectiveness makes underground service an increasingly popular choice for new construction and renovations.
