Deciding Between Overhead and Underground Power
If you’re looking for a clear-cut answer to whether overhead powerlines or underground power is the better option, it’s not that simple. While more than 93% of Australian households are serviced by overhead cables, government efforts have gradually increased the use of underground electrical systems.
The choice between the two depends on various factors. Let’s explore both options to better understand the considerations behind selecting overhead powerlines or underground electrical systems.
Overview of Overhead Powerline Service Cables:
Overhead service cables consist of conductors that transport electricity. Supported by poles, these cables can carry electrical energy across large distances. You’ve likely seen them in your neighborhood, running from a street network pole to your property or a private power pole.
Overview of Underground Consumer Mains:
An underground consumer main also pulls electricity from the street’s network, but the key difference is that these cables are buried underground and connected to your property’s meter box. In certain areas, particularly new developments, subdivisions, and parts of Sydney’s CBD, underground electrical systems are a requirement. These systems can deliver either single or three-phase power.

WHO WE ARE
Overhead Vs. Underground Power:
Why do 93% of Australian households rely on overhead service cables? The primary factor is cost. Overhead cables tend to last longer than underground systems, offering a more economical option. Additionally, since the cables are visible, identifying and fixing issues is quicker and easier.
However, overhead cables are more vulnerable due to their exposure to the elements. Severe weather conditions, falling trees, and lightning can easily disrupt power, while wildlife and accidents like car crashes can cause cables to come down.
At EG Electrical, we’re fully licensed to supply and install single and three-phase overhead service cables for both residential and commercial properties. If you think overhead cables are right for your needs, contact us for a quote.
