When the Electric Company Owes You a Favor?


Don't know if this might help my longer term plans for a dedicated line?

The electrical utility where I live has just stopped by the house to apologetically disclose that the utility pole supplying my house must be removed from an adjacent property.

It seems the pole only feeds my house, or may be an intermediate pole between the street and my house. So although it has been there for about 75 years or so, they are proposing that it moves to my property.

Perhaps concerned that I might protest, it seems they have asked if there is anything they can do for me.

So if the electrical utility were putting up a new pole and/or new supply to your house, what wouuld be on your wish list as an audiophile?

If no potential benefit for digital noise floors or massive monoblocks, perhaps I should at least try to avoid getting a utility pole in the garden? Or ask them to hide / bury all new wires?

Thanks for advice.

I would ask for a underground service from the pole to the house ... your current over head feed is an aluminum cable because it is light in weight and can be suspended ... the under ground line is a heavy copper line and much bigger gauge

The service conductors will still be aluminum.
