How much does it cost for new 200 amp underground service lateral? | Handyman Electric

An underground service lateral involves installing the portion of the underground service that runs from the utility’s connection point to the home. Pricing depends heavily on the distance between the transformer or pedestal and the residence. Longer runs require more conduit, wire, and labor.

Excavation is a major cost factor, especially if the lateral crosses driveways, sidewalks, or landscaped areas. Hard soil, rock, or root systems can slow progress and increase labor time. Restoration work after trenching also adds to the total cost.

Material selection includes utility‑approved conduit, underground‑rated wire, and any required pull boxes or junction points. Some utilities require specific materials or installation methods, which can increase costs. Permitting and inspection requirements vary by jurisdiction and influence the final pricing.

Our Pricing:

• The high price before knowing about the specifics of your installation: $7,198 / The more accurate price after seeing everything: $3,616

Other factors could alter the price as previously mentioned above. Please call or text our techs at 509-466-0303 for the most accurate pricing.

It is our goal to keep our pricing absolutely transparent. We use the high-first method. Some contractors offer a low price, then raise it after they arrive. We do the opposite. We quote a high price before seeing your location or the specifics of your installation, then there’s a more accurate and reduced price after we see everything.

Most customers cannot fully describe concealed conditions, or articulate what is wrong… so we are forced to give a high figure site unseen, assuming the job will not be straightforward. This is usually on the first call, before our tech has seen your house. Once we visit, we will determine if the high figure stays or is reduced. One thing is for certain, we will be 100% honest with you, and you’ll never pay more than you should.
