Key Considerations for Underground Wiring

How It Works

When installing underground electrical wiring, it’s important to factor in:

Proper Trench Depth – Most electrical conduits must be buried at least 18-24 inches deep for safety.
Conduit Protection – PVC or metal conduit protects wiring from moisture and damage.
Voltage & Load Requirements – Ensuring your underground circuit can handle the electrical demand of your shed, garage, or outdoor lights.

A professionally installed underground wiring system guarantees safe and reliable power for years to come.
