Underground Power — What It Is and Why Rural Homes Are Choosing It

Need Power to a Shed or New Block? Go Underground

Overhead power lines might be common, but more and more property owners in Kojonup and nearby towns are choosing underground power. It’s safer, tidier, and less prone to damage. If you're building, subdividing, or running power to a shed, here’s why underground trenching is worth considering.

What Is Underground Power?

It’s exactly what it sounds like — running your electrical cable safely through the ground, protected in conduit. This connects your main switchboard to a new point like a:

• Shed or garage

• Granny flat or second home

• Pump or bore system

• Remote structure on your land

Why Choose It Over Poles?

• No need to install and maintain poles

• Protected from wind and storm damage

• Safer around livestock and vehicles

• Cleaner, more professional look

• Often cheaper long-term with less upkeep

How We Do It

We handle everything from trenching and cable supply to final testing and switchboard connection. Depending on access, we use trenching machines or hand tools for tighter areas.

You get:

• A neat, secure conduit and cable system

• Correct depth and spacing to meet regulations

• A Certificate of Compliance upon completion

Who It's For

If you live on a rural block, farm, or large residential property, underground power is a future-proof solution for clean, efficient energy distribution.
