How much does it cost to run electrical service from the main line to the back of a piece of property?
By: AtsiLass | 08-07-2008
I'm looking to purchase a piece of property in Tennessee that already has power to the property. We want to build a house and barn on the back side of the property and I am curious as to how much running the service will cost. The run is about 1500 feet and the terrain is hilly, but not steep. I have called the local power company, but they won't even give me an estimate unless I pay them to go out and survey the property. I don't own the property, so don't have the right to do that. I know prices will vary from one area to another, but I'm just looking for a ballpark figure to help me decide how much to offer on the property. I can adjust for local economics, so what it might cost in your area is acceptable for me (just let me know what area you're in so I know how to adjust).If you can give me an estimate on buried lines (the ground is not difficult to dig in) as opposed to planting poles and hanging them, I'd really appreciate that as well.
