When underground systems are damaged, locating fault areas and undertaking excavation processes can be time-consuming. Underground lines can take almost twice as long to repair when damage occurs.

EREC covers the north portion of both Santa Rosa and Escambia counties, there are so many lines that run through the wooded areas and even people‘a private property that the root system of these trees would take a lot to get that task done. And some people don’t even like their trees trimmed, much less taken down! The cost would be in the billions, are you ready to help pay for something like this? @ Christopher

To the electric company, we're upset that every time the wind blows we seem to lose power. I don't mean with just hurricane force winds, but a thunderstorm moves through with the slightest bit of wind you can guarantee the power will go out. In the year 2020 why is this still an issue, with the amount of time and manpower taken to restore power each time, especially during hurricane season, why is the lines not buried as they are in other parts of the country and world? Yeah it might be expensive up front, but look at the amount of manpower and money saved later, not to mention the satisfaction of your customers. I've often wondered about this and would love to know the answer. First off I want to thank the linemen who worked round the clock to restore power, you’re very much appreciated for your hard work.
