Why did SDG&E quote such a high price for the service upgrade?
Was there a long easement through which larger cable would have to be pulled?
I had to pay for a transformer and my costs were still under $2000 to the utility with 100′ feet of cable from the pole to my panel included. When I put in an additional 200Amp panel for the rental , the larger diameter 100′ replacement feeder cable was free.[/quote]
Is yours above-ground? In our case, they only had to trench about 20-30 feet. There’s a sidewalk there, so maybe that was part of the problem? I was surprised about the cost, too. Based on what Hobie has posted, I think we’ll look into it again.
