Consumer Power Pole Replacement
(Private Electrical Pole Replacement)
FOR ALL RESIDENTIAL & COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES
Private power poles are electrical poles located on private property, not on public land or easements, that serve as the connection point for electricity from the main street network to the home or building. Unlike public utility poles, private poles and the associated overhead lines are the responsibility of the property owner for maintenance, inspection, and replacement. They are necessary when a property is set back from the street or to avoid poles on the nature strip, and they pose significant safety risks if neglected, including electrical hazards, fire threats, and power outages.
Why Your Private Power Pole Matters
Whether it’s for your home, rental property, or business premises, the condition of your private power pole is critical. Old, damaged, or leaning poles aren’t just an inconvenience — they can:
- Cause unexpected power outages
- Create dangerous electrical hazards
- Leave you liable for fines and repairs
- Interrupt business operations and impact your income

Frequently Asked Questions
01
How do I know if my private power pole needs to be replaced?
If your pole is leaning, cracked, rusting, or more than 25 years old, it’s often safer to replace it before problems occur. Our team can inspect your pole and give honest advice — if it’s still in good condition, we’ll let you know.
02
Will I be left without power during the replacement?
Only for a short time. We work efficiently to minimise downtime, so most customers are without power for just a few hours. For businesses, we’ll plan the job around your schedule to reduce disruption as much as possible.
03
What types of poles do you install?
We supply and install strong, long-lasting poles that meet WA safety standards — including steel, galvanised, or composite options depending on your needs. We’ll recommend the best option for your property, so you get both safety and value.
04
Is your work guaranteed and insured?
Yes — all our work is fully licensed, insured, and compliant with WA regulations. We also stand by the quality of our installations, so you can have complete confidence knowing everything has been done properly.
05
How much will it cost me?
We provide clear, upfront quotes with no hidden extras. The cost depends on the type of pole and installation, but you’ll always know the full price before we start. We aim to give you great value, not just the cheapest option, because safety and reliability matter most.
