Hello everyone, I'd like to start a conversation about the process of replacing power poles privately. Anyone dealt with this lately who could share some tips?
Hi PoleMaster, I’ve just gone through this process. It’s important to first know whether your notice is from Western Power or if it's a private advisory. 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 stable is key to ensuring timely completion.
An important aspect is choosing the appropriate pole material. Wood and steel poles have varied lifespans and costs. Make sure to discuss with your installer about the best options for your particular situation.
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.
Everyone's input has been invaluable. I'll be considering all these points as I move forward. Any further tips as I get ready to begin?
