Pocket Hole Trim

Pocket Hole Trim

How Much does KCP&L Charge to dig and bury the power line to your house?

Need to have this done on a place I'm remodeling. I need to replace the siding and trim where the meter box is. I figure if I can get them to bury it, I'm better off. When they're digging the hole, I'll hang the siding, then they put the meter box back.

Is this correct? Not sure where the power companies responsibility begins and ends. Either way I need to have the box pulled with as little out of pocket cost as possible.

Suggestions?

This will probably change from jurisdictions, but here you must hire an electrical contractor to build an underground service with a new meter enclosure and riser pipe going into the ground and temporarily (depending on local power company requirements) power the underground meter from the old overhead service until the power company installs the underground feeders. Power companies usually provide contractors a book of guidelines to follow so you should call a licensed electrical contractor.
