I have a 80 acre parcel that has no power. The nearest power pole is appr 3000 ft from where the house is to sit. After speaking with power co. they only run 1200 ft free of charge, the next 1800 is my dime at 4-5.00$ per foot. So 7-9000.00 out of pocket. Is it any cheaper if I were to run underground and I buy and lay the pipe and power co. pulls thru it? Just fishing for suggestions hear. No cant move the home closer. Thanks
Here, underground is more expensive. No exact figures, but I remember it being alot more.
Where will the transformer be, at the pole that is up now?
What if you were to place your house at 1200'. Then change your mind to the 3000' after the wire was run. That is only if you don't have wire stretchers of course.
