Consumer Pole Answers

Hello everyone, I'm reaching out 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 the defect notice came directly from Western Power. Clarifying this will help you figure out the next steps.

Adding to what StormSentry said, weather is a major factor in Perth. Planning your pole replacement when the weather is more predictable is key to ensuring timely completion.

An important aspect is choosing the appropriate pole material. Different materials like wood or steel have varied lifespans and costs. Ensure you consult your installer about the best options for your specific needs.

I'd like to stress the importance of finding an experienced installer. Your choice can significantly affect the success of the project. Review their credentials and previous work to verify they’re up to the task.

Thanks for all the great advice. I'm taking into account all these points as I move forward. Any further tips as I get ready to begin?
