Cost to reroute electric

[Millergirl]

So we just found out that the electric line is too close to the water's edge, so we're probably going to have it rerouted as we don't have much wiggle room to change the location of the pool in our small yard. Does anyone have any idea of the cost to reroute the main electric line?

We had to do this in Charlotte with Duke Power. They did not charge us anything to run a new line and splice into the existing as they said the money they will make off the additional energy use from a pool will offset the cost of the move w/in 2-3 years. I think if I had to pay it would have been a few hundred dollars. Hope you have similar luck!

People have paid as high as $4,000 for a power relocate.

Wow, I sure hope that's the case where we are!! Thank you!

That's what I was afraid of. :-(

Check with your local utility company first and then get at least 3 bids from qualified electricians.

@Millergirl did you ever get this done? How much did it cost, and who did you contact? Thanks!
