Power Line Safety: Trimming Tree Limbs – What You Need to Know

No, it is not safe to trim tree limbs that are more than 10 feet away from power lines. Even if the limbs are not touching the lines, they could still cause an electrical arc if they come too close. This could result in a power outage or, in some cases, a fire.

If you need to trim any tree limbs near power lines, be sure to call a professional tree trimming service.
