What is a private power pole?
A private power pole supports the overhead service connection between the network and your home or business on private property. Unlike network-owned poles, the private pole is the property owner's responsibility - so when it needs replacing, upgrading, or a new one needs to go in, that's on you. They're common on larger residential blocks, rural properties, dual occupancy sites and anywhere the connection point sits well back from the street.

Do it once, do it right
Every job gets the same crew standard: turn up when we say, leave it tidy, and hold the connection for decades.
Why use a Level 2 electrician for poles?
Private pole work connects directly into the live network at the point of attachment, so only an Accredited Service Provider can legally carry it out. As a Level 2 ASP (AUP 6580), we manage the whole process - from Ausgrid notification to final connection - under one licence.
Common questions
How do I know if my pole needs replacing?
Leaning, splitting, rust, termite damage or impact damage are all replacement signs. If you're unsure, book an inspection - we'll tell you straight whether repair or replacement makes sense.
Which pole type should I choose?
It depends on soil, budget and exposure. Timber suits most homes; steel and Titan poles win where longevity matters most. We'll walk you through options on site.
