Campbell Temp Power Rentals
Temp poles, site internet, compact lighting and cameras for Campbell infill housing, commercial remodels and small retail builds.
Infill and commercial work in Campbell
Campbell is a smaller city than its neighbors, and most of the construction we see there is infill: townhomes and small apartment buildings on single lots, commercial remodels, restaurant and retail fit-outs, and some office work near the freeways. Lots are tight, and the jobsite is often one parcel between two occupied buildings.
These jobs rarely need a huge service. A 100A or 200A pole covers most townhome and small commercial builds, and three-phase only comes up when a building has heavy mechanical equipment or an elevator to test. What takes planning is placement. With no spare yard space, the pole, the trailer and any rental gear have to fit around deliveries and the neighbors’ driveways.
PG&E serves Campbell. Most Campbell poles go live about two to four weeks after we file, and the install itself is a single day. Restaurant fit-outs add their own loads, such as kitchen equipment the contractor wants to run and check early, and we size for that when the tenant shares the equipment schedule. When a commercial remodel needs power the same week it is signed, a small generator carries the crew until the meter is released.

Campbell rentals that fit small sites
Internet for one trailer
A small infill site might have a single office trailer and a handful of trades. Our single-trailer internet plans use one bonded cellular kit, with an extra WiFi node if the building blocks the signal.
Lighting without taking up the lot
A full-size tower can be too big for a narrow site. We bring compact towers for narrow infill lots that fit beside the trailer and light the work for early starts in winter.
Cameras between occupied buildings
Theft on small sites often happens after the crew leaves. We set up motion-alert cameras for small commercial sites on the fence or pole, with live view on the superintendent’s phone.
Campbell permits and county pockets
Inside Campbell city limits, the electrical permit comes from the City of Campbell building division. Some streets around Campbell are unincorporated county land, and permits there come from Santa Clara County. We confirm the jurisdiction from the parcel before we file. Los Gatos Creek runs through part of the city, so check with the city about any creek setback or flood review on parcels close to it.
Commercial remodels in downtown Campbell may have limited space for trucks and equipment on the street. Check with the city if the pole, a lift or a generator needs to sit in the right of way, and we will build that permit time into the schedule.
Campbell cost ranges
Single-phase Campbell poles typically run $1,800 to $4,500 installed, and most jobs here sit at the lower end. Plan on $250 to $700 monthly for site internet. Camera setups usually rent in the $450 to $1,200 monthly band, and a light tower in the $350 to $700 weekly band.

Campbell temp power questions
Do small townhome jobs need three-phase power?
Usually not. A 100A or 200A single-phase pole handles most townhome builds unless there is an elevator or large mechanical load.
Can you start before the meter is released?
Yes. A small towable generator runs the early work, and we pull it once PG&E releases the meter.
Can the temp pole share space with the trailer?
Often, yes. On narrow lots we set the pole beside the trailer and feed the trailer from the temp panel, which keeps cords short and frees space for deliveries.
