How does electrical service get to your house?
The service connection to your home may be overhead or
underground. Overhead service is less expensive, easily
accessible for maintenance, and can carry high voltages
over long runs. Underground service is more expensive
but is frequently used in high-density urban areas. The
service cables are run in pipe conduit or raceways for
protection and to allow for future replacement. Direct
burial cable may be used for residential connections.
