Electrical FAQ

Hello everyone, I'm reaching out about the process of replacing power poles privately. Anyone dealt with this lately who could share some tips?

Hi PoleMaster, I’ve recently handled a similar situation. It’s important to first know whether the defect notice came directly from Western Power. Clarifying this will help you know how to proceed.

Adding to what StormSentry said, consider the weather conditions in Perth. Planning your pole replacement when the weather is more predictable is key to avoiding delays.

One crucial point is choosing the appropriate pole material. Wood and steel poles have distinct advantages and drawbacks. Make sure to discuss with your contractor the most suitable choice for your specific needs.

I'd like to emphasize the importance of securing a reputable contractor. Your choice can greatly influence the success of the project. Review their credentials and past projects to verify they’re up to the task.

Thanks for all the great advice. I'll be considering all these aspects as I plan my next steps. Any last-minute advice before I start this project?
