Underground Utility Wiring
Expert underground electrical services with unique utility grid expertise.
Can You Repair Underground Electrical Wires?
We don't patch underground wires because repairs often fail again within months. Instead, we fully replace underground service conductors for a long-term, reliable solution. Tyler Beene's 4 years at CenterPoint Energy gives us unique expertise in determining whether issues are on your side or the utility's.
Yes and no. While we don't repair underground wires (because repairs often fail again over time), we replace them to ensure a long-term, reliable solution.
Tyler Beene's 4 years of experience at CenterPoint Energy gives Power Surge Electric unique expertise in understanding the complete electrical system from the grid to your home. This means we can quickly determine whether an issue is on the utility side or your side, saving you time and money.
How Do You Know If Your Underground Wiring Has Failed?
The most common signs are lights dimming when appliances turn on, partial power in your home, and your AC not working. If CenterPoint Energy has told you that you have bad URD drops, that's a clear indicator your underground wiring needs replacement.

Quick Tip:
If your AC is working but only some lights are out, it's usually just a tripped breaker. If your AC isn't working, it's more likely a problem with underground wires.
