They are very much different. the cables on poles wouldn't last a year in the ground, cold, moisture, corrosion (like 8 types of it)

Those pipes will never bee leak proof so conduits with water in them is common and expected.

​

SO i see a dieefernt current/voltage/amperage would be needed and the runs can't be overly long.

blankets and entertainment. We don't lose power due to cold, ice/snow storms yes, but cold won't break the grid.However Nothing wrong with having an emergency kit and/or bug out bag prepped.

keep the place 55 or so, check for cold spots, like under the kictchen sink, you can leave the cab open so heat gets there. you can also leave the tap open to a drip, if it has a freezing issue, but you don't know if it does yet.

pipes freezing isn't end of world, unless they burst. I've used a hairdryer on a number of them to thaw it out.

only issue i see with your plan is if the fireplace heats up your thermostat to the point it shuts off, and other rooms in your house isolated from fireplace start freezing. depends on how many zones you have, layout of house. go around and check the baseboard heaters if they are warm you good.

well they are being proactive with people going solar they split the bill into something that you have to pay even if you never use a watt of their energy.

In your case, compare usage, you must be using a ton more power then you used to. look up on tier page they typically have graphs to show you month to month year to year consumption numbers
