I seek advice on the type of wireing best used between electric pole (and box) and house located 85 feet away. 200 amp circuit board to be wired inside. Have been told that copper is by far the best way to go for the main wire to the house, but other electrician says copper is way too expensive and aluminum, if properly installed, will be just as good. What do more knowledgeable people out there have to suggest and why? Many thanks, S. Lambertson
