Consumer Pole Questions

Hello everyone, I'd like to start a conversation Power Pole Replacement about the process of replacing power poles privately. Anyone with recent experience who could share some tips?

Hi PoleMaster, I’ve just gone through this process. It’s vital to first understand whether your notice is from Western Power or if it's a private advisory. Getting this sorted will help you know how to proceed.

Adding to what StormSentry said, consider the weather conditions in Perth. Scheduling your installations when the weather is stable is key to ensuring timely completion.

An important aspect is choosing the right type of pole. Different materials like wood or steel have varied lifespans and costs. Make sure to discuss with your contractor the most suitable choice for your specific needs.

I'd like to stress the importance of securing a reputable contractor. Your choice can greatly influence the outcome of the installation. Review their credentials and previous work to ensure they’re capable.
