Why underground service connections are service connections are costly than overhead service connection

1 Answer

Answer :

Reason: Underground service connection is given by underground cable. This cable is costly than bare conductor. Sometimes cable trench is required for cable laying, which requires additional cost. So underground service connections are costly than overhead service connection.
