What Affects the Cost of Temporary Power Poles
We give every temp power pole install a flat price after the site walk — no surprises. The number depends on a few things:
- Amperage. A 100A residential temp pole is the cheapest. 200A is common for multifamily and small commercial. 400A is for big sites with tower cranes or batch plants — that’s the most equipment and labor.
- Distance from the utility drop. If the nearest power source is across the lot, you’ll pay for trenching or overhead wire. Closer drops are cheaper.
- Permit type. LADBS, county, and individual city permits all cost different amounts. We pull whatever the jurisdiction requires.
- How fast you need it. Standard turnaround is 2–3 weeks — mostly waiting for municipalities.
- Length of the rental. Most temp services run 3–18 months. Longer rentals get better monthly rates.
- Removal. Removing the pole and restoring the site is included in our quote — no add-ons at the end.
Bottom line: we'll quote your job in one phone call. No high-pressure sales, no hidden fees.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get a temporary power pole installed in Los Angeles?
Typical timeline is 2–3 weeks from the day you call. That covers the permit, the LADWP or SCE service request, the install, and the inspection. Rush jobs are possible — call and ask.
Do you handle the LADWP or SCE paperwork?
Yes. We submit the service request, coordinate the meter spot, and push the utility for the release. You get one point of contact for the whole process.
What amperage do I need — 100A, 200A, or 400A?
Most single-family remodels run on 100A. Multifamily and small commercial usually need 200A. Tower cranes, batch plants, and large MEP loads call for 400A. We will spec it on the call.
Are your poles UL-listed and code-compliant?
Yes — every pedestal we set is UL-listed and built to the current CEC and LADBS amendments. GFCI receptacles, weatherproof while-in-use covers, proper bonding and grounding, the works.
What does a temporary power pole cost?
It depends on amperage, distance from the utility drop, permit type, and how fast you need it. We give every job a flat price after a short site walk — no hidden fees, removal included.
