FAQ
How long does a typical private pole replacement take?
A private pole replacement usually takes between half a day and a full day, depending on site conditions and accessibility. Preparation often involves clearing the area and ensuring safe disconnection of existing power. Weather, soil type, and whether the pole is timber, steel, or concrete can also affect the timeline. In most cases, power supply is restored the same day to minimise disruption.
How do overhead and underground connections differ in cost and reliability?
Overhead connections are generally cheaper to install because they require less excavation and materials. However, they are more exposed to weather events, falling branches, and accidental damage. Underground connections cost more upfront due to trenching and protective conduit requirements, but they tend to last longer and are less prone to faults. The choice often depends on budget, property type, and long-term reliability goals.
What risks come with delaying defect rectifications from Ausgrid or Essential Energy?
Delaying defect rectifications can increase the risk of electrical hazards such as fire, shock, or supply interruptions. It can also result in fines, disconnection notices, or liability if damage occurs due to non-compliance. Insurance providers may refuse claims if a known defect wasn’t rectified in time. Promptly addressing defect notices ensures the property remains safe, compliant, and connected to the grid.
