Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an overhead or underground pole?
An on-site evaluation is the best way to determine the appropriate pole type. Generally, overhead poles connect to overhead power lines, while underground poles connect directly to the transformer.
Do I need to contact the utility company?
Yes, it's the owner's responsibility to contact the utility company for the installation of the electrical meter.
Do you charge rental fees if I hire Bright Electric for my project?
No! If you have a contract with Bright Electric for your project, the temp pole is provided at no additional rental cost.
Do you charge for pickup?
No, pickup is always free after the rental period.
Do you offer discounts for long-term rentals?
Yes, we offer a 10% discount on rental fees when you lease the pole for 12 months or more and pay in full.
Are your overhead poles tall enough for semi truck traffic?
No. With a 16 ft pole, the electrical line would be roughly 12 ft off the ground. 18 ft is required for heavy truck traffic. One option is relocation of the pole to avoid heavy traffic.
How close do your overhead poles have to be to the utility pole?
Code mandates our poles must be within 75ft of the utility pole.
How long will I need my pole?
The national average time to build a home is 8 months. Commercial buildings vary depending on the size from 4-12 months to construct.
