Frequently Asked Questions
Getting a temporary power pole installed involves a few key requirements:
1. Permits A City Building and Safety Temporary Power permit is required before installation can begin. Depending on your utility provider, you’ll also need to satisfy application requirements through either Southern California Edison (SCE) or the LA Department of Water and Power (LADWP). This permitting process can be time-consuming, which is why A-CO offers a Permit Pulling Service to handle it all for you.
2. Utility Connection Approval Your installation needs to be approved and connected by the appropriate utility company serving your area (SCE or LADWP). A-CO coordinates this as part of the process.
3. Power Needs Assessment Before installation, your project’s power requirements need to be calculated — things like the type of equipment being used, the number of circuits needed, and the distance from the available power source. A-CO’s estimators can review your plans and design a system that’s both cost-effective and capable.
4. Site Access The installation team needs access to the job site to deliver and set up the pole. A-CO serves most of Southern California, including remote locations far from existing power sources.
5. Inspection Readiness All installations must pass inspection. A-CO’s trained technicians ensure every installation meets safety regulations and is inspection-ready before sign-off.
The good news is that A-CO handles most of this for you — from permit pulling to design to installation.
Yes — a permit is required for a temporary power pole installation, even on private property.
In Southern California, you’ll need:
1. City Building & Safety Permit A Temporary Power permit from your local City Building and Safety department is required before any installation can take place.
2. Utility Company Approval Depending on who provides power in your area, you’ll also need to meet the application requirements of either Southern California Edison (SCE) or the LA Department of Water and Power (LADWP).
3. Inspection Sign-Off Once installed, the pole must pass an official inspection before it can be energized and used on your project.

The timeline for installing a temporary power pole depends on a few factors, but here’s a general idea of what to expect:
Permitting (the longest part) The biggest variable in timing is the permit process. Securing a City Building & Safety Temporary Power permit and getting approval from Southern California Edison (SCE) or LADWP can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the city and the utility company’s current workload. This is why starting the process early is strongly recommended.
Installation Once permits are approved and the utility connection is scheduled, the physical installation of the pole is typically completed quickly — often in a single day by A-CO’s trained technicians.
Inspection After installation, a city inspection must be passed before the pole can be energized. Scheduling that inspection can add additional time depending on your city’s availability.
Want to speed things up? A-CO’s permit expeditors know how to navigate the process efficiently and follow up with the city and utility companies so nothing falls through the cracks. The sooner you reach out, the sooner we can get your power running.
