Yeah, you can do that sometimes as well. The service for my garage is buried. I'm not an electrical guy, but I imagine there are pluses and minuses to both..after the ice storm a few years back I bet a lot of people wished they had buried service..
I just built (still in the process actually) and buried my service. If it's new, that's the way to go. If you have existing overhead and the intermediate pole has rotted however, it may be cheaper just to replace the pole, rather than running the whole new line. Do a cost analysis, and it might be cheaper to bury a new service.
Money isn't the issue, the on ground transformer would've right beside their way by code, ugly and in the way. Overhead is thru the Trees and hidden a lot more
Ah,Sonny, I see. Mine was different. They mounted the transformer on the pole at the road, and I supplied the cable down the pole and to the house. I have a lot of very mature trees around the property and didn't want to deal with the risk of a tree falling and taking out my hydro.
they want 5 grand to replace the pole. unreal
I solved that with a generac that powers the whole house, barn ,gate, automatically within 10 seconds of a power outage. Best thing to have
