When choosing power utilities for a new home or development, you have to choose between an overhead power pole or underground electrical system.
While over 93% of Australian homes utilise an overhead service cable, recent government intervention has seen underground electrical systems become increasingly more popular in Sydney homes.
Similar to overhead service cables, an underground system serves as its main source of power – however, the cables run underground and are attached to the property’s meter box. For some new suburbs, subdivisions and homes in Sydney’s CBD, underground electrical systems are compulsory and can be single or three-phase supplied.

In order to install underground electrical work, a range of tools and materials are required, including a screwdriver, wrench, drill and spade. You will also need electrical, waterproofing wiring, metal or plastic conduit fittings and a service entrance ell.
When installing underground wiring, you have a few options which depend on how much power you want and the soil type on your property. You can choose to dig deep or keep your digging to a minimum. You will also need a permit – which if you choose Overhead Electrical , this is something we have.
