Understanding Underground Electrical Systems
The underground electrical system consumes electrical energy from the street’s network. Here, the power line cables run underground and are connected to the property’s meter box. It has become mandatory for new subdivisions and suburbs to choose an underground electrical system in Sydney’s CBD areas. It is available with a single or three-phase electricity supply.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Installing Underground Electrical Systems
Step 1 – Choose Depth
Underground power installation can be done in many ways depending upon the wiring type and conduit used. We use double-insulated XLPE cables that meet Ausgrid standards.
Step 2 – Underground Cable Installation
We use PVC heavy Duty orange conduit for 600mm trenches. For any deeper, we use GFCI- protected underground feeder cable and PVC conduit for underground electricity power. In some scenarios trench, we bury and use an underground feeder cable.

Testimonials
Fantastic!
Fantastic!
“A large family in a large house needs a large air-con. Izco Electrical upgraded my power supply so we could run our new ducted air-conditioning keeping the sweat, and complaints about the heat, to a minimum.”
5 Star Service
“After our children moved out, we wanted to subsidise our income by converting their rumpus room into a granny flat to rent out. Izco took the nightmare of working out how much to charge for electricity out of our hands by installing a separate meter for the granny flat. Now our tenants receive their own bill and we don’t have to worry about someone else running up our bills.”
Neat and Tidy Job
“Our electricity bills have decreased substantially since upgrading our meter. Not only are we now charged off peak rates, but we can keep a closer eye on our usage. Thanks Izco!”

“We moved into our new home because it had a large shed at the bottom of the garden, perfect for me to work on cars. But I couldn’t run my arc welder without upgrading to three-phase power. The team at Izco explained exactly what I would need to do, provided me with a free quote and competed the job when they said they would. Even installed some new power points in the shed for me while they were here. I would highly recommend Izco Electrical to anyone needing any kind of work done.”
