Why Overhead Power Is Costing You
Overhead service lines might seem fine — until they're not. Here's why smart homeowners and developers are switching to underground.
Storm Vulnerability
High winds, falling branches, and lightning strikes regularly damage overhead lines. Underground cables are protected from all weather events.
Lower Property Value
Properties with overhead lines and power poles are valued lower than those with underground services. Buyers prefer clean streetscapes.
Frequent Outages
Overhead lines are the #1 cause of unplanned power outages in residential areas. Underground services virtually eliminate this risk.
Safety Hazards
Low-hanging lines near pools, sheds, or driveways create electrocution risk. Underground eliminates all overhead contact hazards.
Building Restrictions
Overhead easements restrict where you can build extensions, pools, or sheds. Underground services free up your entire property.
Ongoing Pole Maintenance
Private power poles need regular inspection, treatment, and eventual replacement (every 25–30 years). Underground is set-and-forget.
