Burying Power Lines

I have a residential power line I want buried from the pole to my house, and cable lines as well. I've heard ranges from Duke Power will do it free to it costing 800 bucks. I need it to be moved enough so additions won't require moving them 2x. Tell me everything and you will live.

Srsly.

It usually depends on where your meter is and local codes. I am, not sure if the power company does that sort of thing for free but out here, they will want an arm and a leg.

Most times, if it is a meter change, the power company will want to come out and specify where the new one will be placed.

Best bet is to get a free consutation/bid from a local Electrical Contractor and go from there.

I'm not sure I understand what your scenario involves...

Do you already have a power line and a cable line underground and want them moved, or are you talking about 2 completely new lines?

Are your "additions" already planned out, and do they involve moving the box where the existing lines already come into the house?

Do it yourself.

Cable yes, power, no.

They are already there, just need to be buried and at a place where we wouldn't have to move them again if/when we add on. Don't think any box moving for either is involved.

I guess I have a somewhat similar situation. The power line to my house comes from a pole that's right in the middle of my back yard. I have no clue why it's there but it's a bad eye sore and will limit my options when I go to build a patio. Can/will duke power come out and move it (or bury it)for me?

I'm fairly certain it's not free and I believe they will charge you by the foot to have it done. I have no idea of the rates, but I know if you want to have gas hooked up in Charlotte, PNG charges an absurd amount for each foot of pipe. Wouldn't shock me if Duke were the same way.

      Dave in a presser gassed up Anthony Tyus III and dying to see him on the field.  I mean 3 is all that needed right, and Dan loves etienne. He's one year filling in his body. If brooks is back, toss in chubba, thats 3.

      After seeing hits in the last two UDFA pools, I do not in this group sorta of a let down after I gassed myself up.  Not like I know of their games, but just expected more. The duke DT only has to beat out hunte (2025 UDFA) or Ray (DL coach's kid) or even Cam Jackson mid 2025 5th.  I thought they would bring in more edges, IOL, TEs, etc...

      The Icky knee didn't explode draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      My 2 favorite picks, since you didn't ask? 3. Brazzell II.  A 1000 yard WR with 4.37 speed and checks all the boxes for a Z Wide Receiver.  IN THE THIRD ROUND!!! 5.  Sam Hecht.  I think he will take over as the starter at some point this season and never look back.  IN THE FIFTH ROUND. Runner Up:  2. Hunter:  We were targeting a DT early in this draft because we did very little to replace Robinson in free agency.  Hunter was our guy and he will start. In addition to that, you got a starting tackle that should man one side of the new OL we will build for Bryce's second contract. A starting WR, offensive lineman, defensive lineman and possible Offensive tackle (at some point during this year from this draft will start.  UNREAL. In addition, I don't doubt that Wheatley (5th round) takes the FS job by next year and Lee III is Jackson's replacement in 2027.   Finally, even Kuwatch should be a special teams demon and LB depth.   Last year's draft was so good it was ugly.  This one will turn out to be uglier.  No offense Basbear--this ain't about you.
