Hi PerthPowerPro, I recently went through a pole replacement. It's crucial to check if the installation comes from Western Power or if it’s a private issue. Western Power should give you clear instructions on how to address the defect notice.

That's right, ElectricLiz. Also, be aware that weather conditions in Perth can significantly impact the timing of power pole installations. It’s advisable to schedule repairs during dry weather periods to avoid delays.

Adding to Wattson's point, consider the type of pole being installed. Steel poles are popular but require different handling. Check with your contractor what the best option is https://rentry.co/uz8a6b7v based on your property's location and power needs.

Don't forget about the local weather conditions. Our frequent storms can cause early wear https://telegra.ph/Im-considering-updating-my-power-poles-in-the-near-future-Ive-been-considering-Spark-Pro-Electrical-Has-anyone-had-experience-wi-11-29 and tear on power poles. Ensure the installation comes with weather-proofing to minimize future issues.

Thanks everyone for the insights. I noticed https://powerinsightsznsc001.mystrikingly.com/ that the defect notice mentioned specific requirements for pole replacement that seem to be influenced by recent changes in regulations. Has anyone else received similar notices lately?

I’d like to add that choosing a reliable contractor is as important as the type of pole. You want someone who is well-versed in dealing with Western Power’s standards and can handle the entire process from permits to installation.
