Residential Underground Electrical Services
Prairie Electric will link to the current power grid first. Then, they will begin work on a new neighborhood or subdivision. They will also provide temporary power to the site. We dig trenches for lines. We also excavate for underground utility vaults. We build temporary structures for the meter and take other preliminary steps.
This ensures you’ll have the power you need to begin construction. Our electricians will team up with your general contractors. They will decide where to put above-ground transformers. They will also find spots for the panels in the houses. Then, they will plan how the wires will enter each home. Contractors enjoy working with Prairie Electric. We meet deadlines and help keep them on track.
Benefits of Underground Electrical Service
Before looking at costs, let us see why many prefer underground electrical systems:
- Improved Aesthetics: Underground cables eliminate poles and wires. This makes your property look nicer.
- Increased Reliability: Underground lines are safer. They are less likely to be damaged by storms, strong winds, or other weather-related problems.
- Long-Term Durability: Burying the lines keeps them safe from damage. This often makes the system last longer.
- Safety: Burying electrical wires underground lowers the risk of accidents and fires from exposed wires.
Underground electrical service offers many benefits. It is especially attractive for homes in areas prone to storms.
Existing Infrastructure
Need to move overhead power lines? Prairie Electric can trench without damaging parking strips or yards. Our horizontal directional drilling and vertical boring machines require minimal access. This means quick and safe underground trenching. We also transfer lines from power poles to underground.
This allows us to work under roads, driveways, and sidewalks. We get rid of sharp right angles, making underground installations simpler. You won’t need to cut through concrete anymore. Read more about quality residential services

Electrical Residential Repair
The panel manages all the power coming from the street into your home. A series of circuit breakers is placed in the electrical panel, usually rated for 15 or 20 amps. We prefer to put panels in hidden, yet accessible spots.
We work closely with the construction project manager to find the best spots. We’ll make sure your new home has the proper power going to all of the appliances, clearly marked, and leave room for future expansion (shop, sauna, hot tub, etc.).
Utility Meter Base
Utility meter bases enable accurate and efficient measurement of energy usage. Our new construction electricians will team up with utility companies. They will make sure the meter base is installed and connected correctly.
They will ensure the meter base works with the building’s electrical service. They will also check that it meets all safety requirements. They will set up the electrical panels, breakers, and other parts needed for energy supply in the building.
