How to Install Underground Electrical Power Lines on Your Own Using Conduit, plus our COST.

This video is how we installed underground power from the street to our home. We will outline the 4 steps to install your own underground power lines: planning, digging trenches, laying conduit, and pulling wires, as well as what it cost us to do it on our own.

For this project we installed 200 amp service to a house 650 ft off the street pulling dual 350 MCM aluminum cables through 4 inch schedule 40 electrical conduit.
