If a new line needs to be run, ComEd connects it to the main. You can do everything else.

Why is it moving at all btw if it’s an above ground pool? A main line should be deep enough unless you are worried about deck posts or something.

On the other hand getting electricity from the house to the pool for filter and heater is easy and cheaper if you have that done.

Yeah but I thought he said it was a main line which would require at least one cut into a live wire outside unless they turn off at some junction up stream.

I just need it 15-20 feed bumped over....can they just splice it on a new angle giving me room?

Town codes. Above ground can't run over electrical that is buried, has to have 5 foot buffer zone too.

I'm pretty sure they don't allow the drop to the house to be spliced. It's worth asking a local electrician. What town are you in? I can ask my guy. I'm pretty sure the code is statewide now.

Here's his response: "Depends on the situation. ComEd has to make the call."

I am an electrician. The point of service is where underground feeders connect to the meter lugs. Those are Com-ed's wires and you are going to pay out the ass for them to move them. Move the pool.

I am assuming you either have this set up or it was a previous above ground drop and then just sleeved the wires down the pole and underground.

Definitely the cheapest option...if it is an option.

if caller bob lives in chicago the cheapest option is not to install a pool that's available for 90 days a year and actually used for maybe 20

Renting the digging equipment, hiring the bootleg electrician that thinks he can do this and buying the wire that would have to be purchased on the black market after being stolen from com-ed would be cheaper than the fine you are going to pay for attempting this.

splice the wire fore sure... also use bare wire... fuck the protective coat.... copper clad all the way too, make sure it is from china

Do you have conduit or direct burial? UMN is probably correct that comed need to inspect before restoring power. I dug a trench and ran PVC from the pole to my girlfriend's mom's house 2 years ago in the city. I had to pull a rope for comed Ed through and have comed tie it in to the pole and meter. I'm no electrician. I'm assuming Plainfield is like the wild west though, you could probably gave some sparky take over from the pedestal.. the key is trenching it yourself and running the pipe or direct burial or whatever you're allowed to do out there yourself to keep cost down.

what the fuck is a primary and a secondary?

The primary would be the gun you shoot yourself with. The secondary is the rope around your neck in case you miss with the bullet, the rope will do the trick.

I have no idea what it costs as we have nothing to do with it. the developer, builder, pool contractor, or electrician deals with the electric services with comed directly.
